WHAT PEOPLE SAY
Birmingham Proofreading
Colette has been proofreading with us for around a year now. I can honestly say that she is one of the most hardworking and professional people we have worked with. Her work is always excellent, she commits to deadlines and is very personable. Highly recommend!”
Claude Rapport - Writer
I’m enjoying working with Colette and appreciate the fact that she is only an email away. Good relevant comments, an eye for detail, and I like that she reads my work as a writer herself. Very happy working with her.
Roger Clifford - Writer
I would like to thank Colette Duggan, who is a first-class professional, who kept me informed from start to finish guiding me through the whole process of editing and proofreading of my work. I’m delighted with the work she has provided for me, and indeed her help.
