"I have recently had the pleasure of working with John, who has been the Editor and Production Designer responsible for helping me produce my autobiography. He has been a wonderful Editor; while copy editing the text, he pointed out numerous useful things in connection with the actual writing. He has been most helpful in preparing illustrations by scanning and editing them for use in the book. John designed and created the typesetting and other artwork for the book, including the synopsis, and has gone out of his way to attend numerous meetings punctually. He is most co-operative, and had printed typscripts and concept artwork produced for discussion. John created the print specification for the book, found the printers, and deal with them most successfully. He is a great communicator. I have no hesitation in recommending John to anyone thinking of producing a book."

"John’s proofreading and copy editing services are truly exemplary. The culmination of my PhD in Neuroscience was a 66,000-word thesis, which John promptly but thoroughly examined. He provided extremely useful comments throughout on punctuation, grammar, and stylistic clarity. John’s recommendations were clear and thoughtful, and he was always careful to not alter technical meaning. I have no doubt that his comments significantly improved the quality of my thesis. I was delighted to receive a recommended grade of ‘No Corrections’ for my thesis at examination, which is, in no small part, thanks to John’s services. I would whole-heartedly recommend John to anybody looking for proofreading and copy editing services for their academic writing."

"Near to twenty years ago I started writing a book which I never got round to finishing. This was for several reasons, the first is that no one close to you wants to read your work and give an honest opinion, they would rather stay friends. Secondly, your work is rarely as good as you think it is in the early stages of draft. The third reason is that having your work criticised can be hard to swallow. John remained upbeat and professional throughout, he was patient and supportive of my way of writing. Originally my words were written for an audience with very different values; John helped me modernise the attitudes and behaviours. Most of all I appreciated John’s straight forward and clear communication, this allowed me to focus on the story and where it needed to go to maximise the target audience. I will certainly use John again."

"Writing a dissertation in a different language than your mother tongue can be a real challenge. I’m so happy John made the time to proofread my dissertation and go over with me the parts I should clarify or alter. John’s proofreading helped me a lot psychologically as I felt more confident but also after receiving my grades and finding out that I got valuable extra points because of the use of language and the solid structure. John’s use of language is exceptional and he would definitely be the only person I would trust for such a serious task."

"It is my pleasure to recommend John’s proofreading services. I used this service recently for a proofread of my PhD thesis. John remained professional at all times and all agreed deadlines were met. In addition to the attention to detail in the proofreading, any feedback given was timely, easy to understand, constructive, and was not critical in any way. I also used this service for the redesign of tables and figures which I had struggled with. This brought my work up another level. I have no hesitation in recommending his services."

"Working with John was a great experience. I highly recommend him for editing and proofreading. I have been working with John for a year now, with one to two texts a month to proofread or copy edit. John has never failed to deliver high-quality proofreading in respect of deadlines and he is very responsive by email. His proofreading was very helpful; the corrections, as well as the advice and comments, were clear, detailed, and helped me shape a much stronger and more convincing text. As a non-native speaker, John's work also allows me to gain clarity and precision in language."

"I have worked with John twice; on both occasions I have found his work to be impeccable. He has carried out employment-based proofreading and copy editing, and the standard of his work has been extremely high - my colleagues have complimented its quality. Everything he has worked on was returned back to me well before the agreed deadline with constructive and helpful comments. The entire process was seamless, and I would not hesitate to recommend his work to anyone in need of a reliable and effective proofreading or copy editing service."

"Today I submitted my PhD thesis; a big ‘thank you’ to John, who worked with me intensively during the last year and has proofread a massive amount of text. John managed to stay with me, despite many deadlines, and I really enjoyed working with him in this demanding project. I like to think that I have learned a lot from his comments and explanations and I am looking forward to work with him again in the future."
