testimonials

We are so pleased with Angela's work. She is one of the most meticulous, prompt copyeditors I have ever worked with. She is responsive, on time, and confident. As a project manager who is used to working under deadline, I appreciate Angela's professionalism. I enjoy working with her. Her work is flawless! Thank you Angela!!

SG, Project Management Executive, Integra

I had the pleasure of working with Angela Valente on a co-authored book manuscript on the Arab Spring. Although I have authored several books, edited even more, and do a lot of manuscript reviewing, I was immensely impressed with Angela’s sharp eye, patience, and attention to detail during the copy-editing stage. She is without a doubt an expert in her field, and I recommend her highly.

Angela Valente has been our Copywriting and Editorial Services partner since 2012. All of our proposal documents, technical specification documents and web-copy are routinely submitted to Angela where she proofreads and edits as appropriate. It is a service we find invaluable and I would wholeheartedly recommend Angela’s proofreading, editing and copywriting skills to anyone looking for a professional, well-executed service.

MC, Managing Director, Banntech

Angela provided a proofreading service for course descriptors and various marketing materials. Her turnaround time was within 24 hours, which meant I could progress with the design and print without delay. As a lone worker, it's not always easy to see the 'obvious' however knowing I have the eagle eye of Angela reassures me that the final product will be correct.

I greatly enjoy working with Angela – she is diligent, hardworking, able to adhere to the strictest of deadlines, and always maintains a high degree of professionalism in every job she does.

KA, Freelance Liaison Manager, Wearset

Angela Valente was a great help to me as a copyeditor/proofreader. She was exceptionally thorough, catching minor typos as well as missing references and instances of inauspicious wording. She was invariably responsive to inquiries from me and always pleasant to work with. She is a quintessential professional and it is a pleasure for me to recommend her heartily for any job in copyediting and proofreading.
