Her keen eye for detail, deep understanding of educational content and commitment to maintaining high standards greatly contributed to the quality of our publication in ‘Educational Challenges’.
Paula consistently met tight deadlines while ensuring accuracy and thoroughness in each review. She is not only skilled in identifying areas for improvement but also provides insightful feedback that helps authors strengthen their work.

I have just finished my first project with Paula, and I have to say that I’m very impressed.
She worked for us as a freelance proofreader for a series of textbooks. Not only did Paula find the tiniest small fault, but she also went way beyond, proposing improvements and adding commentaries.
In the hurry of last-minute corrections, I appreciated that I could always see whether a correction was necessary or optional at first glance.
Paula is very reliable and flexible, and her work always arrived on time.
Last but not least, she’s kind, open and friendly, too! It was simply a pleasure to work with her. I’m already looking forward to our next project.

Many thanks for the marked Student's Book and Workbook 2nd proofs and the Handover Notes (and ahead of schedule!). Thanks for all your great work on these titles.
M George
Customer Experience Manager
Aviva Life & Pensions (Ireland)
Paula has – for several years now – been involved in the generation of new (or re-wording of existing) customer literature. She has also created valuable content for our customer website. Paula always takes the time needed to ensure the content is produced to a very high standard, is correctly proofread, and – crucially – is worded in plain English that our customers will understand. She resists industry jargon, starts with the customer in mind and identifies the key things the customer needs to know.

Academic paper review
Paula has been an incredible help in improving my writing. Her feedback has been spot on. She has a keen eye for detail and is always willing to help me understand how I can improve my work. Thanks to her, my writing is much more clear, concise, and engaging.
C Gant,
Training Consultant,
Aviva plc. (UK)
Our training course went live in early March 2022. The current reviewer status is 5/5. Without the expert input and guidance from Paula, the solution would not be in the excellent shape that it is.
