Testimonials

“Thank you so much for your invaluable feedback. I truly appreciate your input and feel more confident about the series, as I was struggling. I love the way you can see things in my work that I'm completely blind to, but I know how to fix it with your observations, thanks.”

Writer, Nelson

“I approached Carol Garden to proofread my third book, the story of my doctorate. It soon became apparent that Carol’s rigorous, professional work was more akin to an edit than a proofread and so we amended the brief. I found the working relationship to be constructively effective and efficient. I am delighted with the outcome and look forward to working with Carol in the future.”

“Carol’s editing skills have helped trim my book into a concise, well-organised manuscript, without losing my ‘voice’ in the text.”
