Customer reviews

Here is a selection of testimonial reviews from author clients of mine. 

“Jessica has proofread several of my novels, and I’ve been consistently impressed by her professionalism, sharp eye for detail, and her ability to deliver to schedule, even with tight deadlines. I’m very happy to recommend her to other authors looking for a thorough and reliable proofreader.”
Rachel Abbott, no. 1 bestselling author

“Jessica was fast, professional, and insightful in her edits, and made my book so much better! I highly recommend her services!”
Beth Revis, New York Times bestselling author

“Jessica has a gift for critiquing novels and can see detailed things that I cannot. I have benefited greatly from her help: in just one chapter she highlighted something no one else had picked up on that affected the entire book.”
Liz Fenwick, bestselling author

“Jessica is a fantastic proof reader and master of the word – I wish I could keep her here at our publishing company all the time!”
Angus Kennedy, author

“Jessica critiqued my work for several years and I found her services to be immensely helpful. She is an experienced proofreader with excellent critiquing skills. I would recommend her to anyone seeking proofreading or critiquing/editing services.”
​Nell Dixon, award-winning author

“Several years ago, I discovered that I loved storytelling, and this new passion blossomed into my first novel. Chapter after chapter flowed from my laptop, but I knew that my lack of English writing skills urgently required my extensive jottings to be thoroughly edited by someone who knew what they were doing! That’s where the amazing Jessica Read came in. She patiently worked through my drafts, teaching me about spelling, grammar, sentence structure, and how to create concise, meaningful content, while ensuring the story made sense. Thank you, Jessica. You changed my life.”
​Peter Sissons, author

“It was Jessica’s personable professionalism and impressive resume that drew me to work with her on my first project. However, it is her consistency and eye for detail that keeps me working with her project after project. I can depend on her to be candid yet kind, responsive yet not overbearing and dependable. When I send her my manuscript, that is the moment I exhale.”
K. A. Bryant, author

“This is the first time I have used a professional proofreader and Jessica has proven to be a breath of fresh air. Not only does she provide the attention to detail you would expect from someone in her field, but she is sympathetic to your aims; her suggestions are constructive and encouraging; in short – she understands what you are trying to achieve. I am particularly impressed by how she continues to answer questions and provide support after the job has been completed. I would definitely recommend her services to others and shall be using them myself again.”
Emma-Louise Cartwright, Owlight Creative

“Working with Jessica Read on my novel was a very positive experience for me. Not only was she was accessible and flexible but her knowledge and integrity gave me confidence in her work. My writing was more polished after making the changes she suggested. It was a pleasure working with her on my novel and I hope to do so again in the near future.”
Noreen Flanagan, author

“I was a little worried working with a new proofreader. But I needn’t have worried. Jessica was both fast and accurate. She started on the job when she said she would and finished within the very tight schedule. I will definitely be working with her again.”
Mark Capell, author

“I have no hesitation at all in recommending Jessica’s work to anyone. The whole process, from initial contact to receipt of the final proofed copy, was a seam-free process. I found Jessica friendly and easy to work with and the proofed manuscript showed great attention to detail.”
Sarah Elizabeth Ashley, author

“I had thought that I’d covered most angles in my manuscript but Jessica’s critiquing service proved how much value she can add. Her phenomenal attention to detail and many constructive comments moved the manuscript to a better place. It proved to me that proofreading is an essential stage in the writing process and using Jessica to proofread should be essential. As the saying goes, I cannot recommend her highly enough (and it’s true).”
Craig Scott, author

“Jessica’s input was marvellous and I highly recommend her as a useful ‘pre-publication’ critique service. Not only was her eagle-eyed proofreading input of great help to me personally, but her reader’s point-of-view critique and writing instincts were spot on. I would not hesitate to recommend any aspiring or published writer to use her services.”
Judy Jarvie, author

“I wish to express my appreciation to Jessica for the invaluable proofreading and book critique services rendered to me, which I found to be outstanding. I have used Jessica’s services before and I must state I was – right from the start – very impressed in the quality of her work, her efficiency and professionalism. She has been incredibly helpful to me and has critiqued my latest work with great skill. I am also very grateful for insightful comments. I strongly recommend her services without any reservation whatsoever!”
Lucy Boutaleb, author
