testimonials
Can’t believe how many errors you have spotted that I missed. Clearly it is well worth paying a proof reader!
JW, Essex University PhD student and university lecturer
René provided a helpful and very professional proof reading service. Communication about timing of submissions and returns was very clear as were other terms of engagement. René made several useful observations which informed my work and has helped with current writing, I certainly feel that using her proofreading services has been an investment, raising the quality of my academic writing.
FH, PhD student, University of Essex
René provides an extremely efficient and professional proofreading service. We’ve used her skills on a number of large scale international projects and she has always provided an excellent standard of work within agreed budgets and timescales.
