testimonials
Dr Bushra Rashid, PhD., Chief Editor and Head publishing manager, Wiley India Pvt. recently published my multi-authour book, “Eye in Systemic Disorders”. During the course of development of manuscript to publication, I found that she is methodical, passionate and energetic in her day-to-day editorial task. Her approach, to eliminate plagiarism and ambiguity, and maintain a uniform style with clarity of expression and refined language, is commendable. It was not only her hard work but sense of urgency and punctuality that the book could be published on a target date.
Dr Bushra had provided an exemplary leadership to her editorial team. Her leadership qualities have encouraged the team for proper co-ordination and high performance.
In my opinion, she is a great asset to any publishing house. I wish her, if not meteoric, a steady success in her academic career.

It’s a great pleasure for me to write this recommendation letter for Bushra Rashid. I have been the director at Eadartrans (Wuhan) Company since 2017 where it was my privilege to work with Bushra.
Bushra have been worked as a freelance language proofreader for academic papers (basically about medicine). Her duties included checking and correction on English grammar and language style. Over the past four years, I have experienced a highly motivated and hard-working individual who consistently returns her work ahead of time and shows great dedication towards her professional duties. Our clients always give us quite positive feedback on her work. Therefore, I strongly believe that Bushra will be an extraordinary addition to your company and will exceed expectations in her role.
Please do not hesitate to contact me if you should require any additional information.
Sincerely,
Director, Department of Translation and Interpretation, Eadartrans (Wuhan) Co., Ltd.
