testimonials
I’ve worked with Leena for several years in my role as an editorial manager at Puffin. Leena has an exceptional editorial eye, is meticulously organised and extremely helpful – she’s helped me out of innumerable tight spots and inordinately improved all of the books she’s worked on for me. She always goes above and beyond in her checking and is a pleasure to work with. I recommend her to anyone looking for a brilliant editor.
Steph, Penguin Random House Children's UK
I've worked with Leena for a number of years on proofreads and copyedits of children's fiction. Leena is thoughtful in her comments and we can always rely on her to pick up on anything that needs attention. We are always grateful for Leena's attention to detail, as are our authors!
Mattie, Stripes Publishing, Little Tiger UK
Leena has been an absolute marvel, especially over the past year with lockdown meaning that we rely on our freelance copy-editors and proofreaders more than ever. It's always a pleasure to work with her, and she's so thorough and reliable. Honestly, I'm not sure how we could have got our books to print without her assistance and always happy support! I'd be happy to call Leena an honorary member of my team.
Wendy, Puffin, Penguin Random House Children's UK
Leena is thorough, efficient and always meets deadlines. We can always rely on her to do an excellent job proofreading or copyediting our titles.
