What my clients say...
‘I have no hesitation in recommending Abi for all your editorial needs! She has a great eye for detail and is great to work with. I really enjoyed working with Abi; especially her calm nature in pressured situations. Abi is hard working and committed to creating great products that also look fab!’
‘Abi has proofread quite a few cookbooks for me. She has always been very thorough, followed the briefs closely and is always on time with sending back the marked-up layouts. Abi is highly skilled in her command of English and always picks up typos, grammar and punctuation errors as well as checking ingredients and measurements in recipes and making sure the recipe makes sense. It’s always a pleasure to work with Abi.’
‘Abi is a pleasure to work with. She is a thorough editor, keeps to schedule and works well with authors and designers.’
‘Abi brings a wealth of specialist knowledge to the food and drink books she edits. Her work is meticulous.’
‘I’ve worked with Abi frequently over the last few years to help identify potential authors for new book ideas, to brief and commission them, and to prepare sample text for creating sales blads (sample pages). Abi is great to work with, always hitting the tight deadlines this work requires, and has always been able to find suitable people to work with across a wide range of subject areas from crafts and home books to survival skills and educational subjects. I really enjoy working with Abi, she is reliable and enthusiastic, and brings out the best in the new authors we work with.’
