testimonials

I really enjoyed working with Peter, not only for his skills and quality of work but also because he was always available and our communication was so good. I will definitely use Peter again for my upcoming scripts.

Nina Heide, A Life Worth Living: a step-by-step guide to Conscious Living

Peter is wonderful. He did a great job copy editing our report. He has extensive knowledge of the English language and was meticulous with checking everything from minute details to sentences that needed revision.

Susan Fine, Global Online Academy

Truth be told, he should be charging twice his current rate. He combed through my insurance book with an eye for detail that would put most copy-editors to shame. He went above and beyond for every single aspect requested, and added great value for topics I hadn't even considered. I will definitely be using him in the future for every writing job I have.

Joseph Brunsman, Transparent: The Definitive Guide for CPA’s Professional Insurance

Peter did an amazing work in proofreading and editing of product descriptions. He was easy to talk to, he was adherent to deadline, and was very diligent with even tiny details/phrases/words. He completely transformed our content into a much more beautiful piece of work.

Onyx Tea, London

Peter completed a copy-editing/proofreading job for me. He responded extremely quickly to my job request. Communication was more than I expected. Because of the nature of the job, I did not expect updates, but Peter always kept me in the loop and I felt very much a part of the process. He is extremely easy to work with. His turnaround time was faster than I would have expected with the size of the manuscript. I cannot recommend Peter enough. I will absolutely be hiring him for my next editing job. Absolutely outstanding service.

Giselle Simlet, The Chosen: Girl of Myth and Legend

Peter delivered excellent work on time. With his three-step process he combined all steps of corrections. He significantly improved grammar, style, wording, spelling mistakes, and the overall structure. I could see that he put a lot of effort into my corrections. I can highly recommend Peter to anyone looking for a high-class proofreading freelancer.

Ricardo Andreoli

Excellent work and skills. Peter was a pleasure to work with. He understood complex editing issues and applied all the guidelines I gave. He was easy to work with and his communication was clear and honest.

Jill Ronsley

Peter is the best: The most responsive and reliable freelancer I've ever worked with. The quality of his work is exceptional. Thank you!

Greg Drach

It was wonderful working with Peter. He produced sterling work of the highest quality, his level of communication was outstanding, and I would rehire him again in a heartbeat.

Alison Golden

Peter is very professional and highly skilled. I thoroughly enjoyed working with him and would recommend him to anyone seeking an expert copyeditor.

Kirsten Schwarzer

Peter has worked on multiple projects for me and I have been exceptionally pleased with all the results. His availability, communication and quality of work are all exemplary.

Dianna Seldomridge

Peter is super smart, highly skilled and very fast. He did a great job proofreading my book and caught tons of errors I had missed (even after multiple reads). Plus he brought deep knowledge about correct grammar, style, punctuation that I didn't have and couldn't have applied regardless of how many times I read my draft.

Colin Drake

Working with Peter was a joy from beginning to end and exceeded my expectations in every way. Peter delivered high-quality service, on time with utmost integrity, and demonstrated a genuine care and concern for my needs down to the last detail.

Jennifer Vasconcelos

I consider myself a good writer but after finding one too many errors in my 25-page business plan, I decided to outsource it to a pro. Peter's work was amazing, I couldn't believe how many small errors he caught. His work was thorough and the turnaround time was impressive.

Dmitry Platonow

Peter is a consummate professional and I've really enjoyed working with him. He really knows his onions. He's always open to suggestions and ready to explain anything that you don't understand.

Adaeze Ozoh

Peter was fabulous. I probably could have published this manuscript without further help. However, Peter's additional comments, corrections, ideas, and attention to the tiny details have made the story sing. I once again learned a lot and had amazing collaborative conversations about the tiny details that are so important. I now know I can publish this book with confidence - and that's an amazing gift.

Claudia Christian

Peter's work was outstanding! His skills are excellent; he was efficient, and his communication was terrific. He turned my 112-page book into a very polished and professional document in less than a week. I was exceedingly happy with the result.
