As a proofreader and copyeditor, I edit novels and non-fiction in British English and US English. A professional member of the Chartered Institute of Editing and Proofreading, I received a merit for their Proofreading 3 course. With many repeat clients, a few of my 5* reviews are below. Proofreader of 14 Community Magazines: "My go-to proofreader; I've been working with Becky on and off for over a year now. She's an excellent communicator, very reliable - she always delivers on time, and working with her is a stress-free process. Her work is of excellent quality and it's always disappointing when she's unavailable for one of my projects - it's difficult to find someone of her caliber!" Copyeditor for an Economics and Business Publisher: "Becky did a brilliant job of editing a high level of output and her communication was excellent. Highly recommended copyeditor!" Proofreader of 16 Historical Spiritual Fiction Books: "We are very satisfied with Becky's work as the proofreader for several of our historical fiction books. She has consistently demonstrated exceptional attention to detail, accuracy, and professionalism. Every deadline was met without delay, and communication was always prompt and reliable. The quality of the revisions reflected both care and expertise. It was a pleasure to work with Becky."

"Angela was incredible to work with! Her work was timely and accurate. She communicated clearly, kept me in the loop about her progress on the project, and was able to complete two different tasks (beta reading and copyediting) in advance of milestone deadlines." - Author's feedback on a 30K manuscript project.
