“Lydia initially started working with us to help out during a particularly busy period at our agency, following a number of new business acquisitions. However, her assistance was so invaluable that we have worked with her ever since! Lydia has a brilliant eye for detail, is efficient and reliable and is a real asset to our team.”
Client Service DirectorCreative Agency (Healthcare)
“I was impressed straightaway with Lydia’s hard work, care and attention. Not to mention her reliability - I was so lucky to have found an editor whom I can trust implicitly. Handing a manuscript over for editing is one of the hardest things my authors do, their work is deeply personal and it’s imperative I find someone who will treat it with care. I found that in Lydia. Her edits enhanced the writing without taking creative control away from the author. I absolutely recommend her.”
Kirsty JacksonManaging Director, Cranthorpe Millner Publishers
“Lydia demonstrated considerable strength for applying herself to an editing project and methodically working through its errors and inconsistencies with admirable diligence and determination.”
Elizabeth JenningsAssociate Editorial Director, Lucid Group
“Lydia is an excellent medical editor. Accurate, efficient, timely, she asked the right questions, and made the work better: she was everything I needed from a freelancer.”
David, EditorMed Comms Agency
“She has been a pleasure to work with, bringing her attention to detail to every project. Her communication and people skills are excellent. I can highly recommend her. She is well suited to the challenges editorial work provides.”
Betsy ReavleyFounder and Director, Bloodhound Books
“Lydia is always very professional, delivers work rapidly, and has great attention to detail. She also picked up our processes for editing and formatting publications very quickly, and after a few projects required only minimal briefs. Thanks for supporting us through this challenging time, and I look forward to working with you again soon.”
Jake BurrellPublications Director, Rude Health Consulting
“Your work was great! It was very thorough and accurate, whilst also being fast. In addition, you communicated your expected timelines well, and asked questions upfront, both of which are helpful (and reassuring) for us.”
Medical Writer
“It has been a real pleasure to work with her and we have always found her punctual, accurate and an expert in her field. We could not recommend anyone more highly amongst all those with whom we have worked and I am sure that you will end up as positive about her services as we do if you begin working with her.”
