|TESTIMONIALS|
"I have been working with Emma on many projects over the past 10 years and I can honestly say that she’s been the most professional and skilful proofreader I have ever had the pleasure to work with. She’s always been very timely at sending the work back and has the kind of attention-to-detail work ethics that you’d wish all proofreaders have. I would highly recommend Emma to anyone."
Nattavudh Powdthavee, economics author and Professor at University of Warwick
"I had other written work edited before, but never had an article purposefully proof-read for submission to a peer-reviewed journal. Ms Hoyle did a very thorough job and was very easy to communicate with."
Hielke Buddelmeyer, Senior Research Fellow at Melbourne Institute of Applied Economic and Social Research
"The most important for me is that Emma is a physicist, this is priceless when it comes to understand and correct scientific or engineering publication and jargon."
Aleksandra Baron-Wiechec, surface/materials scientist at Culham Centre for Fusion Energy
"Emma is very professional. Always accurate and punctual in delivering. I have used her services many times and it has always been a pleasure to work with her. I strongly recommend her."
Luigi Ventimiglia, Senior Lecturer at Queen Mary University of London
"Emma provided us with high quality work every time we hired her. She is always on time and is highly recommended. A pleasure to work with!"
Carlo Scevola, President at Carlo Scevola & Partners
"Emma is one of the best editors I have dealt with. She edited a lot of scientific journal papers for me and they were excellent and published without any modifications from the journal referees. You want to win, look for Emma."
Abdulrahmane Al Masoud, Professor at King Abdulaziz University, Saudi Arabia
"I have been writing academic papers and research proposals for many years. Apart from technical strength and contributions, a good quality of writing always play an important role to the acceptance of papers or proposals. Within the expected timeline, Emma finished the work. I must say her editing is excellent. It has not only made brilliant changes in terms of language, but also added comments on what she thinks might cause ambiguities on technical aspects of the papers. Emma also provided me some observations regarding my overall English writing. I would certainly engage Emma again and recommend her for editing academic papers and proposals."
Feng Tian, Professor at Bournemouth University
"Emma has worked with me on several projects related to copy-editing and proof reading of research articles. In each case, Emma added extra value to our manuscripts. In addition, Emma is very professional, detail-oriented, punctual, and dedicated. This is why I have no hesitation in recommending her."
Vladimir Dženopoljac, Assistant Professor at American University of the Middle East (AUM)
