Testimonials

Thanks again for doing such a great job and making wise suggestions.  You're by far the best copyeditor I've dealt with!

Colin Cooper, author, Individual Differences and Personality (4th edn, Routledge, 2021)

May I also please say at this juncture that it’s been an enormous pleasure to work with a copy editor of your calibre. I am truly humbled by your ability to digest this manuscript and offer those insightful, valuable notes.

Lyn Stone, author, Language for Life: Where Linguistics Meets Teaching (new edn, Routledge, 2024)
