Testimonials and reviews available through Find A Proofreader.com, where my listing is still somewhat a work in progress, as is this site!

“I don’t think I could have asked for a more thorough proofreader. Reasonably priced, efficient and extremely helpful. Highly recommended.”

— Ben, Music Critic.

“Very professional and thorough proofreader, helpful and patient with me despite needing extra support with dyslexia. Helped with both normal essays and my dissertation. I would recommend her to everyone!”

— Rachael, BA Criminology Student

“Red Ampersand delivers in spades. If you care about your material, you can do no better than putting it in her very capable hands. She has a keen ear for language that sings and sparkles and is right on the money. She knows her job and is dedicated to making your words shine.”

— Ryder, Writer

*Please be aware that when looking at academic essays, theses and dissertations I can offer only the Proofreading service, rather than copy-editing or critique, in line with academic code of conduct regulations regarding plagiarism and collusion. Any service offering to rewrite or copy-edit your academic work should be treated with caution, and could get you into serious trouble with your school or university.
