Client testimonials for
our editing and writing

'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 writes and re-writes long- and short-form content for web, reports, packaging, articles, press releases, essays and more. She 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.' Brett Osmond, Managing Director, Leading Hand Design

'I was keen to have an expert set of eyes on my new services and pricing guide. Lee was fantastic - she pointed out editing issues I hadn't picked up and suggested better ways of phrasing some of the copy, so the guide was as good as it could be ... I know I'm in good hands hiring her as an editor.' Rachel Smith, RS Copy and Content

'Our experience has been great. Lee and the team are very professional and keep the communications open to ensure that timelines are met.' Craig Hall, Communications Manager, Rural Funds Management

'I've had the pleasure of working with Lee on several projects and have no hesitation in recommending her editing services. She is professional, sharp-eyed, thorough, responsive, flexible, knowledgeable, prompt and – importantly – a wonderful person to deal with.' Sarah Theeboom, Publishing Lead, NSW Bar Association

'I thought you’d like to see a few papers we published after your support … We have another one under review now. Thank you again, your efforts really helped our team.' SG, academic, Edith Cowan University
