Testimonials
I was lucky enough to have Liz proofread my PhD thesis and couldn’t have been happier with the results. Liz was turning around chapters as fast as I was writing them, and her attention to detail saved me countless hours of proofing. It’s often difficult to find someone to review a thesis that can critique technical writing without getting in the way of the intent, so to have that was invaluable at a time of peak stress. Thanks to Liz, I was able to focus on the content of my writing in those final weeks, and I know my thesis ended up much more polished as a result. Anyone finishing their degree would benefit from Liz’s help!
Collaborating with Liz Bird has been an absolute pleasure. Her remarkable attention to detail is second to none. Throughout the process of proofreading my book, The Christmas Box, Liz’s keen eye uncovered numerous small errors, proving her assistance to be invaluable. What sets Liz apart is her thoughtful approach; she not only identifies potential errors but also ensures that any deliberate additions I’ve made are preserved. Her passion for her work is clear. It provides me, as the author, with an appreciation of her unwavering dedication to my project. I’m looking forward to continuing to work with Liz in the future. And I highly recommend her services to others.
Liz was incredibly helpful in proofreading and embedding consistent formatting for my PhD thesis (~300 pages and 75,000 words). I really appreciated the regular check-ins to seek clarification where I had differences across chapters, as well as the attention to detail on extensive reference lists. I highly recommend utilising Liz’s services for peace of mind and quality proofreading.
I am very fussy about who I work with. When I need our websites checked for spelling and grammar, as well as consistency, I go to Liz. No one else has the eye for the level of detail that she does. If Liz has gone over our websites, I know that we’re in tip-top shape!
