‘In the early stages of writing, a lot of my beta readers told me it’s vital to invest in an incredible proofread, so I was particular about who I would hire. Tania did not let me down. She went above and beyond her duty of proofreading. I loved working with Tania and will be back to work with her in the future.’
Ben T. Clarke, middle grade fiction author
‘I’m so pleased to have begun working with Tania Charles – she has an excellent eye for detail and is thoughtful, professional and thorough. She has picked up on issues ranging from typos and inconsistencies to minor plot holes and timeline slips that were missed at earlier stages, and she always returns work on time. She is a pleasure to work with!’
Lianne Slavin, Managing Editor, Severn House (Canongate)
‘Tania has an excellent eye for detail and is a trusted freelancer for the Adult team at Pan Macmillan. She’s meticulous, thoughtful and fully engages with the text, and her comments and queries are always written in a professional manner. We hope to continue working with Tania across our imprints at Pan Macmillan and I can’t recommend her editorial services highly enough.’
Laura Carr, Managing Editorial Director, Pan Macmillan
‘Working with Tania has been a pleasure. She has an uncanny eye for detail, but doesn’t lose track of the big picture. Her flexibility to accommodate a changing schedule has helped me reach my writing goals, even though at times the timing was a challenge. I enjoyed discussing the finer points of the English language with Tania and learning from her insights. She knows her stuff. In communication, Tania has always been respectful but frank. I would recommend Tania’s services to anyone looking for a professional and thorough proofreader and, in fact, have already booked time with her for my next project.’
Koen Martens, science fiction author
‘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
‘I was looking for a proofreader for my first novel, The Man Who Kept Dying, and after having sent a sample chapter to different proofreaders and reviewed the corrected samples they returned, it just felt natural to work with Tania. I couldn’t be happier with the final result: Tania possesses a great attention to detail and even though the manuscript had been reviewed multiple times before she saw it, I was surprised to discover how many minor errors (spelling, grammar, repetition, inconsistencies) she found and corrected. On top of that, Tania was professional, punctual and kept me updated on her progress at all times. A pleasure to work with.’
Vincent Ollivier, fiction author
‘Tania offers a professional and expedient service. She was flexible with shifts in our project timeline and delivered high-quality proofreading service for the Young People’s Guide publication.’
Pippa Couch, Freelance Project Manager, Cheltenham Festivals
‘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
‘It is always a pleasure to work with Tania Charles. She’s an ace proof-reader: eagle-eyed, professional and knowledgeable. She has proof-read a number of my titles – of various genres: fiction, biography, history – and always does a marvellous job. I have complete confidence in her work.’
Polly Pattullo, Publisher, Papillote Press
‘Tania was the perfect proofreader for our project – precise, speedy and excellent value for money. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Tania Charles for any proofreading requirements you may have. I look forward to working with her again.’
Nick Holland, Hanover Press
‘Tania managed to find me just at a time when I needed a replacement, reliable proofreader. I’m so pleased she did. Her attention to detail is excellent. When it comes to deadlines Tania is superb and she hasn’t missed one yet. What is remarkable is that a tight deadline doesn’t affect the quality of her work. Apart from being a first-class proofreader, Tania is an absolute pleasure to work with.’
Jane Moffett, JJ Moffs Independent Book Publisher
‘Tania completed a proof read within good time and in good detail. Her edits were thorough, demonstrating both her experience and her in-depth knowledge of proof reading. In particular, I was impressed by her dedication to keeping the manuscript consistent, with meticulous page references of any differences between spellings throughout the manuscript. I would feel confident working with her again.’
Hayley Russell, Publishing Assistant, Troubador Publishing
‘Thanks for doing such a thorough and efficient job of proofreading our anthology.’
George MacBeth, Editorial Officer, First Story
‘Tania proofread my manuscript. She did an amazing job using an extremely concise, comprehensive and professional approach. Tania helped me enormously, not just with grammar and spelling but ensured there were no inconsistencies and repetition. I found the whole experience impressive to say the least. I would without hesitation recommend Tania to anyone who needs a professional and high-standard proofreading service.’
