Testimonials
I’m always pleased to work with Lynne on a wide range of topics. Her proofreading is always done to the highest standard and sent back on time. She’s reliable and a pleasure to work with. Highly recommended!
Chrissy McMorris, Editorial Manager, The History Press
Lynne has been working with us since August 2022 and in that time she has always been responsive, flexible and diligent. Her proofreading is of a very high quality and she quickly gets under the skin of house style guides. We look forward to working with her for many years to come.
Rhiannon Gilbertson, Head of Account Management, Accuracy Matters
Lynne is quick, accurate and a pleasure to work with. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her.
Andy Patterson, Publisher, History Today
Working with Lynne to produce our volunteer magazine is a pleasure. As well as her friendly and professional manner, she works swiftly and accurately with a great eye for detail; always noticing errors that I miss. She has taken on our internal style guide and edits, with this in mind, with ease. Lynne not only spots grammatical errors but has a skill for rephrasing sentences in a sympathetic and sensitive way, which is important to our article authors. Lynne works quickly without compromising accuracy. She is an integral part of our team and without her we wouldn’t be able to send our magazine to print with confidence.
