“I can recommend Susie as a talented writer and a fabulous person to work with!”
Tom C.
“Susie did a first-class job in terms of proofreading and editing. Although my publisher did the final editing, I was complimented by the editing staff on how well prepared the manuscript was and that was due to Susie’s excellent and professional work. She was very well organised, delivered all the text on time, and I was delighted with the result. I would certainly recommend her to anyone looking for someone to edit a fiction or non-fiction work.”
