'Lee is the best. She is our copy magician. Not only does Lee proof all our content, she has also become a critical editor of our clients’ material and in many cases actually writes and re-writes long- and short-form copy for web, reports, packaging, articles, press releases, essays and more. Lee adapts her vast skill set to meet the various tasks, voices and tones required for consumer-facing projects large and small. She also fact-checks and is a source of wisdom and professional assistance in finding exactly the right way to weave a sentence that hits the mark, no matter what the subject. Lee is reliable, great value for our clients and, above all else, a delight to work with. We are very lucky to have her as part of our extended team.'

'As an editor myself, I felt self-conscious and vulnerable about handing over my draft book manuscript to another editor to review. While I was prepared for my written words to be carefully scrutinised and commented upon, what surprised me was how much I enjoyed the editing process. Collaborating with Lee Ellwood from EllWords Editing and Writing was like having an in-depth conversation with an insightful and knowledgeable friend. Yet, at the same time, Lee is a consummate professional – a highly-skilled editor who had a discerning and thought-provoking approach to my manuscript to ensure my text was vastly improved. I am so grateful I had the opportunity to collaborate with Lee on my book project and I highly recommend her editing services to other authors.'

Your diligence and attention to detail, coupled with your uncanny ability to put yourself in the minds of my characters, has resulted in a polished manuscript, of which I am now very proud ...

Thank you, and I look forward to working with you on my next project.'
