Graham has done a fantastic and quick job for us, at a very competitive rate.
He went the extra distance to make sure we ended up with great copy for our brochure.

Graham edited over 70,000 words for my auto-biography. He was professional, accommodating, thorough, honest and really personable. He phoned me to find out my goals, and sent me regular portions of writing as he finished them. He emailed both the edited versions and ready to print versions which was very useful. Graham went the extra mile to fully understand the subject matter and phoned me after the job was complete.
I recommend Graham to any book writer because he is great at what he does.
I highly recommend Graham, very professional and prompt at returning work. Better than others I have experienced A++ Thanks :)

Graham Pedersen: Thanks for the great feedback Naomi. Keep checking the tips you can see on my mark up, and your English will definitely improve. Well done!
I recently had the opportunity to work with Graham on the editing of my novel, and though the process was long and complex, his professionalism in his work and passion for language made it super easy and enjoyable. Graham’s knowledge of language and his dedication to getting the work to be the best it can be meant I could focus on doing my own part, knowing I was getting far more than I was paying for. Perfectionism is definitely a good trait in an editor!
Graham Pedersen: Thanks for that Stu, it's been a great journey together and I've thoroughly enjoyed every chapter of your exciting novel, "The Adventurer's Daughter". I'm really looking forward to starting on Part Two in the series, and I appreciate the opportunity to be part of your dream.
