Tailored content
"She went above and beyond and made the leaflet much more accessible to my target audience. She responded promptly and moved quickly to meet an incredibly tight deadline. Provided with bullet points and a general thrust of the intended outcomes Ruth went to task and composed a thoroughly well researched document written in a style that far exceeded my expectations. From start to finish I received a professional service.
I could not be happier with the outcome or the time it took for delivery. "

Summarising policy documents
"Ruth has been proactive in identifying documents to send out to French contacts e.g. on UK skills policy and the Tomlinson review. She has also produced excellent summaries to present these documents."

Breaking down complexity
"I have had the pleasure of working with Ruth on several projects which involved presenting and communicating complex ideas to non-specialist audiences in a community setting. Ruth is an excellent writer and editor, and has an uncanny ability to anticipate the needs of the reader."

An effective style
"She has an effective, plain English, succinct style and particularly enjoyed drafting an article on equal opportunities for a local MPs event brochure. Her enthusiasm for the subject showed through and it was all the more rewarding to know that the ambassador had barely amended her version."

Accessible commentary
"Her reports on secularism have featured a persuasive and accessible commentary on a very complex issue."

A value-added service
"So helpful! Ruth edited a number of documents for me and provided an incredible 'value-added' service. Not only did she improve the language and the structure of the documents, and make them way more readable, but the questions she asked helped me think further about what I was really trying to say and produce much better work. She knew very little about my subject before starting but was able to make it her own in a very short amount of time. I have absolutely no hesitation in recommending her."

A much-needed makeover

A seamless service
Ruth provided an editing and proof reading service for my team. She responded to a tight deadline, delivered ahead of the agreed timescale and communicated with me throughout. Her eye for detail and skilled editing helped us to articulately convey our message to a professional audience with total confidence. Ruth also researched and amended factual content which was not requested or expected but was very much appreciated. Ruth provided a thoroughly professional and seamless service which I would wholeheartedly recomm

Never underestimate the value of a good proofreader!
"Never underestimate the value of a good proofreader! I asked Ruth to proofread a student guide written by multiple authors who were not necessarily native English speakers. She returned the finished work on time and with all the glitches ironed out. Needless to say I'm delighted to have used Ruth's proofreading service."

Clarifying concepts
I was an intermediary between Ruth and the author of a long and complex report which needed to be summarised. Ruth turned this job around very rapidly, and went beyond the call by creating a long summary, and a much shorter version in addition. Both elements of the work were considered to be very useful, identifying the key points and concepts accurately, and expressing the issues very clearly in accessible language. I would highly recommend her to anyone with a need for an editing task to be carried out.
