Although a relative newcomer to proofreading, I have built up a good body of experience and have many satisfied clients, several of whom have become regular users of my services. My previous career at the BBC means that I have in-depth experience in the fields of business, management, broadcasting, media and popular culture. Recent projects include a guide to company turnarounds, in-flight magazines, company newsletters, novels, and student essays and dissertations on a wide variety of subjects.
testimonials
I could not be happier with Beth's work. A friend recommended her to me and I can only recommend her to anybody else as well. Beth corrected an 800-page business book for me and did that within five weeks, kept me posted on the status and was very professional in her work. I could not have chosen a better reviewer and will definitely use her services again.
Dr Christoph Lymbersky, author of International Turnaround Management Standard: A guided system for corporate restructurings and transformation processes
Beth has done an amazing job of shaking my work into shape. I can only say good things about her professionalism and quality of work. I will definitely be returning to her in the future and highly recommend her services.

I have used Beth Hamer's proofreading service on numerous occasions. She is an exceptional proofreader whose precise, punctual work frequently results in positive feedback from my clients.
Nick Jones, managing director, Full Proof
I am extremely grateful for all the fine work Beth did on my short story. She made it flow better and gave me some good pointers. I'd totally recommend Beth as a proofreader. She provides an excellent, punctual service and is a great communicator.
