Catherine proofread my debut novel, Penknife, and did an amazingly thorough and professional job. Having been over and over the 87,000 word manuscript myself, I was sure that she wouldn’t find much to pick up on, but I was totally wrong about that. As well as spotting any typos I’d missed, she also showed a great sensitivity and skill in tuning into the style of the novel and her grammatical suggestions have lent some of my sentences a better flow.
I found Catherine very easy to deal with and extremely reliable. I would recommend her services to any fiction writers without hesitation.
By the time I sent the final manuscript to the publishers, I was as sure as I could be that it was in the best possible shape, and after so many years of work, that is a very satisfying feeling.
