“Helen has been my go-to proofreader ever since I first commissioned her to work on the Arden Shakespeare Early Modern Drama series. She produces work of the highest standard and never misses a deadline. I always know that, no matter how complex the project, if I send it to Helen it’s in the safest of hands. I can’t recommend her highly enough.”

Ian Buck, Bloomsbury Academic and Professional Division

“Helen is a pleasure to work with. Her proofreading is accurate and thorough; but, above all, she is a professional who says precisely what she can and will do – and then you can be confident she will do what she says – on time or earlier.”

Chris Swinson, author of Share Trading, Fraud and the Crash of 1929: A Biography of Clarence Hatry

“Reading your comments was like having a friend next to me showing me what I needed to improve. I have really enjoyed the experience. You cannot imagine how many times I have valued your attention to detail. Everything was just perfect. From the bottom of my heart, thank you!”

Dr Fabio Rizzi, Rennes School of Business
