“I was extremely satisfied with the edits and suggestions I got for my research article. Although I had a tight schedule, Amy was able to proofread my text with good quality (and in time!) and she even spotted some common phrases I use too frequently.”

"Amy has proofread several of my texts, and has been indispensable in improving those texts. She not only did the proofreading, but has also provided feedback on my writing style and on the common mistakes I have made: e.g. the use of commas and en-dashes. I have been very pleased with her work before, and will return when I need more of her services!"
