What my clients say about me
|
Pete's copyediting and proofreading work is consistently thorough and professional – his methodical and thoughtful approach to tackling issues leaves you feeling that a book is really in safe hands. His flexibility in accommodating last-minute changes or complicated briefs is always enormously appreciated, too, and I'd happily recommend Pete's services.
Sophia Unger, Newgen Publishing UK Pete has completed a couple of copyediting projects for me now, returning good quality work and adapting as needed to meet specific publisher style guides and preferences. He stays in communication throughout the editing stage, raising queries where necessary, to ensure the work he is completing is of the standard expected, which is greatly appreciated. I would certainly send more work his way.
Jess Bithrey, Newgen Publishing UK We have used Pete's editing services for two recent sport titles and have been very satisfied. He returned the jobs on time, showed good attention to detail and was easy to work with. I would have no hesitation in recommending him.

As a novice writer, it was reassuring to have the guidance and expertise of Pete to assist me through what was a very new experience for me. His attention to every word, and to each punctuation mark, gave me the confidence to release my work from the security of my laptop to the scrutiny of the public forum. Pete was easy to deal with, worked to an excellent time schedule and allowed me to judge what changes to accept or reject. I would have no hesitation in working with him again in the future.
Andrew Jarrett, ex-Wimbledon tennis Referee We've worked with Pete on several proofreading projects and he has proven to be a safe and very professional pair of hands – reliable, responsive and generally great to work with.
Peter Clayburn, Director, Tate & Clayburn Pete provided me with a thorough and extremely useful proofread. I'd definitely book him again.
