Copy-editing and proofreading are, fundamentally, all about communication, both in terms of the results and in terms of the practice. The ability to rapidly understand both the subject and precisely what is required in any given piece of work are critical – the best results come from working closely together:
Hi Mark, You recently edited the servant leadership and POS paper, thank you for this!! It was amazing. [Reader, University of Bath]
Thanks ever so much Mark. It’s nice talking to you. The proofread sections already look better and I absolutely have no regrets spending my money on this. They [the previous chapters] have actually helped and I’m beginning to take notes of some of the same mistakes I have made in the [new] chapters I am going to send. Thanks for everything. [PhD student, Sheffield University]
Thank you Mark! Nice work as always. [Senior Lecturer, Griffith University]
Thank you very much Mark!! Very happy with your work. The pleasure has been mine. I will recommend you if someone needs your services. [PhD student, Miguel Hernández University of Elche]
Hello Mark, Many thanks for all the help you have offered me on improving my papers. [Professor, University of Bath]
Hi Mark, I like your revisions and, in particular, your clarifications in my introduction. I feel much better having seen your edits. I look forward to working with you again on my other papers! [Senior Lecturer, Oxford Brookes University]
They [the leaflets] look great, everyone is really pleased with them; they are streets better than any of the other parties’ leaflets. If people were voting on the quality of literature we’d win by a landslide! [Shrewsbury & North Shropshire Green Party]
Dear Mark, Thank you so much for your excellent proofreading work. [Researcher, China Pharmaceutical University]
Thank you for your help: I am sure it changes a lot in quality. Chapter 1 was already proofread but … I do find your style much better. [PhD student, University of Bradford]
Blimey! Proved to be a worthwhile exercise. I’m sure you will be able to offer a very worthwhile service to a very wide audience. I will recommend your services wherever I can. Will definitely engage your services [on the new website] when ready. Once again a big thank you. [Company Director, Kidderminster]
Hi Mark, I would like to thank you for the great work on my literature review. [MSc student, University College London]
