‘ Ray has been an indispensable resource for helping me to fine-tune and hone manuscripts, preparing them to be publication- and read-ready. His feedback is always on-point, and always appreciated. He catches things I should have caught, and that other editors have missed, and his feedback is always relevant, useful, and well-organized. He’s a valuable part of my team! ‘

‘ Blimey mate - you really have got eagle eyes, haven’t you? That book’s been through so many beta readers, as well as my pro editor, that I hoped every typo was dead. But no, you managed to find a couple!
Thanks again for those corrections - all now fixed. If you’re ever in Norwich, there’s a beer waiting for you! ‘
