testimonials
Jo Howard is an excellent editor and proof-reader. Her work is of very high quality and her approach is meticulous and diligent. Her help has been invaluable to King's College London.
Professor David Mosey CBE, King's College London
Joanna did initial copy-editing of a 600-plus page law textbook, with copious footnotes and a need to adhere strictly to citation standards, as well as to develop its own house style. Her work was absolutely invaluable, in particular in suggesting improvements in the text towards greater clarity and simplicity.
Philip Britton, co-author of Residential Construction Law
