>> PRAISE FROM CLIENTS <<

"Margaret is without doubt the most efficient and organised colleague I have ever had. She has an excellent understanding of grammar, voice, tone and style, and combines this diligence with a very diplomatic and unflappable working manner. She has proved completely trustworthy over the course of the many projects I have worked on with her over the years, and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend her services." Kirsten Etheridge, Freelance Editor

"Margaret is meticulous and professional. I never realised my punctuation was so bad! Margaret found out every misspelling and grammatical error and was able to offer advice on how to improve the manuscript as well as identifying words that weren’t actually words! I would thoroughly endorse her to other writers." Steve Eaton Evans, Author

"Margaret helped me rethink my writing in a great way, suggesting edits I wouldn't have thought of. It felt like a very collaborative process and she was very flexible with timing and revisions." Gemma Newton, Author

"I love it when I get a chance to work with Margaret. Her attention to detail, combined with her invaluable common sense, means that every project we’ve worked on has been completed to the high standard I’ve come to expect. Such a safe pair of hands." Libby Holcroft, Freelance Designer

"I have worked with Margaret for over 8 years and greatly appreciate the competent and efficient way in which she works. I value her calm management and problem solving, which together with a can-do attitude means that the job will be completed to deadline and budget. She has excellent proofreading skills with good attention to detail. A clear communicator with a friendly manner she is a pleasure to work with." Jacqui Crawford, Jacqui Crawford Design
