Proofreading and Book Editing Testimonials
"I have been writing short stories, autobiographic and fictional, for years. Without Jackie’s expert help I would never have got to the point where publishing could become a reality. She corrected my numerous grammatical errors, she gently suggested alternative (and needed) changes to the text without ever losing the humour or the way that I wanted something portrayed. Jackie’s painstaking attention to detail meant that even short phrases in my execrable French were corrected and accented properly, allowing the story to flow better. I cannot thank her enough for her help and expertise." John Beadon
"What a wonderful job you have done! I have made the corrections on the proof, and given you a copy of what and why. There are only a very small number of areas where I disagree with your decision"! Frances Denz
"Tauranga Yoga Centre is a non-profit Incorporated Society and has been providing classes in Tauranga Moana for 47 years. As a member organization we rely on the generosity of our members to give of their time and skills when, where and how they can. Last year Jackie responded to my request for someone to assist with editing our TYC Policy and Procedures Manual and the TYC Health and Safety Policy Manual. This involved a lot of work including editing layouts and formatting, as well as checking for spelling, punctuation and grammatical errors. Jackie completed all this quickly and efficiently and I would be delighted to be a referee for her, on behalf of the organization." Sue Furey, Operations Manager, Tauranga Yoga Centre
"Regarding the course itself, you have been a thorough and committed student, producing excellent work throughout. Very well done and congratulations once again." Dick Ward, Tutor, NZIBS
