To whom it may concern,
This is to confirm that Maia Vaswani is an excellent copy-editor and proofreader. Her work is of a very high calibre and she is efficient and accurate and completes tasks on schedule and to budget. If there are any issues, she will alert the person concerned immediately.
Maia’s standard of English is excellent and she can turn a sow’s ear into a silk purse.
Elsevier has employed Maia for several years on many varied projects. She has copy-edited and proofread many Science, Technical and Medical book texts in several different sub-disciplines and topics, in UK and US English.
The Book Production Project Managers at Elsevier trust her judgement and can rely on her to make sound editing decisions and suggestions and raise appropriate author queries. We have no problem with Maia contacting authors directly as we know she will be tactful and sensible.
Elsevier’s authors have also been delighted by her copy-editing and proofreading and several have requested her to work on their next books.
