Dan Nash

Fern provided versatile copy-editing, proofreading and project management services for educational materials produced for the Department of Education's National Strategies initiative. She worked with great patience and expertise, showing attention to detail and a tenacious ability to decipher our complicated briefings! These qualities helped us enormously in delivering the best quality products. I recommend her work and personable approach very highly.
Darren Tandy
Freelance Editor
I worked with Fern on National Strategies web-based materials, which she edited to a very high standard despite an extremely tight schedule. Her work was of a consistent and high quality, she delivered it on time and her queries were sensible and intelligent. I would highly recommend Fern as a copy editor and proofreader.
Lone Nerup Sorensen
Lecturer at University of Leeds
Fern handled the proofreading of a number of science materials published by The National Strategies. It was a hectic time at the Strategies, as we rushed to finish our Annual Plan delivery, and we were unable to give Fern much notice. She nevertheless delivered the proofread materials ahead of the deadline and made additional suggestions which improved the final product. I was fortunate to have been able to rely on Fern and I will gladly work with her again.
Pedro Morais
Senior Product Manager at SciBiteSenior
Fern is a professional in her field with a sound background in handling a wide range of subjects. She has honed her editing and proofreading skills over the years and is able to provide a prompt and reliable service that is second to none.
