testimonials
Hilary has proofread six titles for Kitchen Press, and has always worked to the highest standard. She is very thorough and very conscientious and has an excellent grasp of grammar. We publish cookbooks, and one of her real strengths is ensuring consistency of measurements, abbreviations and house style throughout the text. Hilary works quickly and efficiently and presents manuscripts back properly annotated, with clear presentation of any queries. She is also a real pleasure to work with and I would recommend her work unreservedly.
Emily Dewhurst, Publisher, Kitchen Press
Hilary was an immense help to me when it came to my PhD thesis. Her in-depth knowledge of grammar and punctuation allowed me to focus on getting the ideas on paper. She had a gentle and encouraging way of making suggestions for improvement which I always needed. Additionally, she is familiar with scientific and statistical concepts which meant that she could untangle my words into something more meaningful. Her professional demeanour and method of communication were outstanding and I would give Hilary the highest recommendation for anyone needing proofreading and editing services.
Susan Mulcahy, PhD Candidate, Imperial College London
I so appreciated the review of my documents by Dr Buchanan. Her reviews produced documents that were much clearer, understandable, and more easily readable than before. I would strongly recommend Dr Buchanan to anyone needing a reviewer of any type of document, whether elementary or complex in nature.
