Testimonials
Hannah is an excellent all-round communications professional, from detailed intelligent document editing to efficient overarching project management. She is someone I have commissioned to work with others on my behalf, which is the highest praise I can give: I am confident her manner and editorial judgment calls would reflect the professionalism I would also seek to deliver.
Kate Green, Managing Editor, International Institute for Environment and Development
Hannah is a fantastic editor and a pleasure to work with. She has edited a number of high profile documents for Scope on a freelance basis, including our Annual Report and Accounts. She consistently delivers incredible attention to detail, which has helped to significantly improve the editorial quality of our work. I'd highly recommend Hannah's services.
Hannah Redmond, Brand and Creative Manager, Scope
The quality of editing work and the speed with which she can turn products around is fantastic for busy researchers. She grasps complex conceptual work and always adds value to content, as well as making sure the reports are well-structured, accessible and tightly worded. She sees the content in new ways and is highly reliable. I don't know what we would do without her. I can't recommend her highly enough.
Jessica Mackenzie, Country Programs Manager, Institute for State Effectiveness
I worked with Hannah for nearly four years and can attest to her professionalism, dedication and talent as an editor. She has a wide range of skills, from the technical to the creative – copy-editing, page design, writing, HTML and more – and I always know my articles are in safe hands.
Rebecca Lowe, journalist
Not only is Hannah’s editing of a persistent high quality, she always meets deadlines. Furthermore, she engages with the material, rewriting if necessary and pointing out queries which always result in a much improved final version. An all-rounder, her project management skills are superb.
Edward Green, editorial professional
Hannah has made a huge contribution to our programme in a short space of time, helping us and our partners produce a wide range of products, which have all been very well received. I particularly appreciate Hannah's speed, accuracy and attention to detail even when under pressure and dealing with tight timelines. She is totally reliable and a pleasure to work with, and I look forward to seeking her services again in future. Can't recommend her highly enough!
Emily Hayter, Programme Specialist, INASP
Very strong attention to detail, thoroughness and accuracy. I was particularly impressed by her cross-checking of facts and references and felt fully confident to take her changes and comments on board. She completed the task on time and was quick to respond to any queries. The entire process was smooth, friendly and well-managed.
