testimonials
Myriam has now copyedited three books for us, and is due to start a fourth. She has been excellent to work with – very thorough and efficient. She is flexible and always delivers on time and to brief.
Commissioning Editor, Bloomsbury Sigma
Myriam has worked on a number of titles for Bloomsbury Wildlife and has consistently impressed me with her knowledge, professionalism and attention to detail, along with her excellent communication skills and ability to meet deadlines. She is very reliable and conscientious and I would highly recommend her for editing work.
Editor, Bloomsbury Wildlife
Our partnership with Myriam goes back years. She works on our speeches, results, reports, presentations and articles, many of which are highly technical. She works to an exceptionally high standard, often with tight deadlines and texts that are changing until the last minute. She has been a lifesaver.

We’ve relied on Myriam’s copyediting work since our Amadeus Global Report 2014. She’s a great professional and she perfectly understands our need for flexibility and adaptability to changes. Her attention to detail and expertise are not easy to find nowadays!
Sustainability Project Manager, Amadeus IT Group
Myriam has collaborated with Skira for the copyediting and proofreading of English texts for several art books and exhibition catalogues over the past few years. Her work is rigorous, with great attention to detail. Myriam’s comments and suggestions are very pertinent and show an understanding of the subject matter. She is always very responsive and reliable, making it a pleasure to work with her.

Commissioning Editor, Éditions Addictive (Multimedia Press)
Myriam is a trustworthy collaborator. Not only is she a great professional – able to edit complex texts, apply the required tone to corporate messages and come up with creative copy – but she is extremely organised and always delivers on time. We have worked with her on a variety of projects, from travel tech companies to the website of our own creative agency, and the result has always been fabulous.
Managing Director, Cocota Studio
Myriam Birch is valued member of the FQS editorial team, with a keen insight into what authors (especially non-native speakers) intend to express. Her academic knowledge and background is highly relevant, allowing her to edit for content and logic as well as language. She has a feel for the subtleties of the English language and produces high-quality copy. Would not hesitate to recommend her.
Editor-in-Chief, Forum: Qualitative Social Research
