testimonials
Alexa has proofread much for us at CWR, from children and youth titles to more complex publications. I can confidently recommend her for her attention to detail and exceptional work ethic. She always goes the extra mile to help us with our deadlines and can take a great amount of work and pressure in her stride.
Katie Carter, Lead Editor, CWR
I've worked with Alexa on numerous copy editing projects over the last few years and have been delighted with both the standard of her work and the timely manner in which she delivers it. She is a true professional!
Stephen Davison, Author
Alexa provided an outstanding service when she edited my 85,000 word novel. She turned around large volumes of pages very quickly - often working 'above and beyond' the call of normal office hours - and always with good humour. I have since recommended her without hesitation to authors within my network, knowing she will commit herself fully to each book as if it were her own.
Rob Chidley, Author
Alexa provides a very efficient and professional proofreading service. Work was completed on time to an agreed deadline. I can thoroughly recommend her work.
Philip Neale, Author
I worked with Alexa on my first book, and she provided a first-class proofreading and editing service. As a first-time author, I very much appreciated Alexa's patience and attention to detail, which I am sure contributed to the success of my book. She is passionate about what she does, offers constructive help, and is an absolute joy to work with. I would have no hesitation in recommending her to anyone who requires such services.
Ali Golds, Business Development Consultant
In my business, everything needs to be clear, concise, accurate and easily understood. This is exactly the precision Alexa consistently applies to my written documents, reports and correspondence. Highly recommended and invaluable to my practice.
