Editing Students’ Essays for Applications to Universities in the US. During 2023, Reina Luck has edited over 100 essays for me. Her substantive editing is consistently excellent. She adds significant value by going the extra mile and proactively suggesting alternative words, phrases, or areas for rewrite, all of which enhance the quality of the essays. She is helpful and efficient and always meets the tight deadlines - usually 12-24 hrs. Her communication with me is prompt and any problems are ironed out quickly. I would highly recommend utilizing Reina’s services. Joyce Chen. 5 October 2023

"It’s no exaggeration to say that, by her proofreading of the 115-word book ‘Through a Brick Wall’, Reina provided the author, Ally H., and me (his ghost writer), with a clean, grammatically accurate manuscript enhanced by suggestions for improved syntax and clearer storylines. Her input added immense value to the project. More than that, her approach was professional and knowledgeable, and the work was completed in good time. I have no hesitation in recommending her proofreading and editing services.’ (Neville B.: Ghost writer) "

"‘Reina L. and I spent many years together as colleagues and friends while working for The South African Breweries. Our core focus during collaboration in those times was around our innovation agenda and working together to develop new programs that created excitement and new news for consumers and kept us at the cutting edge for technology for our existing brands and new brands. ‘I recently decided that the company, SAB, needed a story to be told as it was a legendary business that emerged out of Africa to become a global phenomenon and has some true nuggets that could be shared in business, whilst the narrative is also engaging. Having completed the core storyline and framework, I asked Reina in her capacity as an editor and proofreader and her ability to apply attention to detail"
