What clients say…

‘I’ve been really pleased to add Tania to my pool of proofreaders for fiction. She is always completely professional, punctual and precise in her work. I know I can always rely on Tania’s eagle eyes and thoughtful comments to improve a manuscript beyond merely picking up typos. I’m very happy to recommend Tania to anyone looking for a keen proofreader.’
Emma Grundy Haigh, Editorial Director, Joffe Books

‘I’m so pleased to have recently discovered Tania Charles and would recommend her highly for proofreading. Not only does she have a really keen eye, but she also picked up on a number of words and phrases that some readers may have found offensive and suggested alternatives for them. A pleasure to work with!’
Leanne Bryan, Senior Editor, Octopus Publishing
