CLIENT FEEDBACK
'Marie-Louise represents everything one needs in an exceptional editor – attention to detail, thoughtful and actionable feedback and the ability to see a piece of writing up close at a line level and further back from a conceptual and impact point of view.
Marie-Louise has a breadth of knowledge and skill that she effortlessly adapts to the task at hand, whether that be a contemporary novel, a government report, an academic manuscript or PhD thesis.
Marie-Louise’s editing of my work has strengthened my writing, and the work itself, whilst achieving a high standard of written expression. She is the first (and only) person I trust to find that tiny error others have missed, or to give me kind, considered and creative broader feedback on the readability and engagement of my writing. Highly recommend!
