Testimonials
Associate Professor Kristine Barlow-Stewart PhD, FHGSA (Gen Couns)Faculty of Medicine and Health, University of Sydney
Working with Fiona is always a pleasure. She has edited a number of student manuscripts to a standard for peer reviewed publication. Her writing style is clear and concise. She is efficient and meets timelines. Her work is always of high quality as she takes care to ensure any facts are checked and referenced appropriately.
Van Hai HoSenior SAP HANA/BI/Analytics Technology Specialist
As English is my second language, writing a PhD thesis and trying to articulate ideas and explain the details in English is quite a challenge for me. Fortunately, Fiona has provided invaluable advice and assistance when proofreading my thesis. Fiona's attention to detail has helped the contents of my thesis to flow more fluently and coherently. When proofreading my thesis, Fiona was a reader without the knowledge of my technical work, but she raised questions on my writing that helped to prompt me to think about how to explain the content more clearly. If you need assistance with editing and/or proofreading your writing - whether it is a thesis or an article to be published in a magazine or journal - I highly recommend Fiona's service.
Lyndal DouglasGenetic Counsellor, NSW Ministry of Health, Australia
Fiona was an excellent support when editing my literature review for my Genetic Counselling Certification. She is thorough and not only corrected grammar and spelling, but also provided me with feedback for sentence structure, alternative options for the overall essay structure, and referencing suggestions. Fiona also assisted several of my colleagues (trainee genetic counsellors and geneticists) with their writing. I really appreciated all of Fiona's help and would not hesitate to recommend her skills to others.
