I’ve been using Gary’s services for a few years now. I’ve always found him to be professional, detailed and hard-working. His comments are insightful and precise, making my work much better than it has any right to be. I would unhesitatingly endorse Gary if you want to use his services. Your precious work is in safe hands.

MJ Lee, author of The Missing Father, The Coffin in the Wall, and Death on the Dee

I asked Gary to proofread my latest novel (Well of Souls). I was most impressed by his efficiency, his communication and the quality of his work. He was admirably easy to deal with and great value for money. Would definitely recommend!

Thank you so much. As always you have done such a thorough job and it’s really appreciated. I hope you’ll stick with the [Malvern Farm] series as it grows as you always go the extra mile with your research etc to make sure the book is in the best shape it can be before signing off for print.

Kate Wells, author of the Malvern Farm murder mystery series

I have worked with Gary on several of our books and found him to be thorough, diligent and with a keen eye for spell, grammar and punctuation errors as well as keeping a great ‘sense check’ on our novels. Gary works with us every step and often goes beyond what has been asked of him. Receiving the finished work fills me with confidence in our manuscripts moving forward to print. Always a joy working with him.

Darren Laws, Managing Director, Caffeine Nights Publishing

Thanks so much for all your help and ideas – they make a huge difference. I am delighted you have been working on the Bad Girls again.

Diane Saxon, author of The Good Twin, My Mother’s Lies, and The Quiet Wife

I was impressed with the standard and attention to detail provided and found going through the edits very helpful. I’ve been delighted with the effect the suggested changes made to the impact of both my movie scripts.

His communication skills are excellent, responding quickly and keeping us up to date throughout the process. Gary has done a really professional job proofreading our new book and met the timescales with no problems at all. He is reasonably priced too.

Abbe Wheeler, Executive Assistant at Agencynomics

Thank you for your sharp eyes and suggestions!

MJ Porter, author of Kings of War

Gary was thorough, thoughtful and efficient. It was clear he was truly reading the material and not just looking for typos; his diligence spotted inconsistencies in chapter order, interview introductions, list and section accuracy and much more. I would highly recommend his services.

Lindsay Kohler, Lead Behavioural Scientist at Scarlettabbott and co-author of ‘Even Better If’

Gary is a very professional copy-editor… excellent consistently. I really appreciate his service and would strongly recommend [him] to all the people who need their work to be proofread and copyedited.

Professor Aaron Tan, University of Bradford

You are a joy to work with and great at what you do, I highly recommend you Gary and will definitely be back to work with you again if you’ll have me! Thank you for all your hard work and support!

Jemme MD Art, author ‘We Are All A Beautiful Mess’

Thank you for working on it, thank you for enjoying it… It’s hard sometimes for a writer to know the people who work behind the scenes to bring a book to life… so big thanks from me, Gary!

Ami Rao, author ‘Almost’

The detail and care taken in copyediting my PhD thesis greatly improved the quality of the entire work. I really appreciated the constructive and sustainable approach that Gary took in explaining the points that needed changing. I have recommended his service to my fellow postgraduate researchers and will be contacting Gary again to copyedit the manuscript for my postdoctoral research!

Dr Vipavinee Artpradid, Postdoctoral Research Fellow, Coventry University

Really happy with Gary’s work, he’s proofed most of my uni work and the mistakes that he fixed I think helped improve my results. Thank you!

Leanna Roni, The Open University

I could not be more satisfied with Gary’s service. He has been professional, reliable, responsive and he demonstrated great attention to detail. Any unclear context was discussed on a Zoom call. He has been helpful with rewording my thoughts to make the message come across clearly and academically right. If I get to continue in my academic studies in a form of a Ph.D. thesis, I will definitely ask for Gary’s service again.

Katie Nguyen, MSc student, London College of Fashion

Fantastic! A really solid, thorough job, and a tremendous help.

Dean Street Press

A methodical manner, sound knowledge [in his field]. Perceptive comments on the use of language. Really engages with the material and provides critical analysis.

Dr Penny Manford, The Open University

It was great working on the book with you, as a non native English speaker the insight was invaluable in picking up those small things that only people who grew up in a language will notice! I was surprised at the price too – I thought it would cost a lot more but you were very reasonable.

Emina Lindberg, author ‘Losing My Religion: From Faith to Faithless’

Gary has been really helpful with my assignments for uni, returning documents quickly and he always makes clear notes on what I need to change to improve things. Thank you!

Laura P., The Open University

I’ve been working on my sci-fi novel with Gary for what seems like ages now, and he’s been really patient as it takes me forever to write it seems! I like that his suggestions are always constructive, it’s never just ‘delete this’ or ‘rewrite that’ – it’s always useful and productive. I just wish I could write faster!
