As a published author, it’s very important for me to have a reliable proofreader, and in my second book, Adrift in Caledonia, Jonathan Idle caught a number of details that others had missed. I was impressed by his forensic thoroughness, and would whole-heartedly commend him to others.
Nick Thorpe, award-winning writer, editor and speaker
It’s always reassuring to know that Jon is working on an editorial job. He’s got a good eye for detail and a great ability to make texts readable, and the queries he raises are incredibly helpful. Jon is reliable and never misses a deadline.
Dr Natalie K. Watson, Publishing Director, Sacristy Press
Jon proofread my PhD thesis excellently. He did the work not only professionally but also quicker than I expected. His comments are very clear and comprehensive. The quality of the work was outstanding, a demonstration of his expertise in his field. I highly recommend him for anyone looking for quality proofreading services.
McFoster Tembo, PhD researcher
Jon checked every detail of our publication ‘On the Street’, a toolkit for street-based youth work. He not only eliminated errors but made suggestions for greater consistency and clarity; his work helped with the success of the entire project, which has now been translated into four languages across Europe. I would strongly recommend Jon for other such assignments.
Don Irving, Chief Executive, Teesdale YMCA
Extremely grateful for Jon’s excellent proofreading service. It’s a relief to know my documents can be checked by someone that has a great eye for the small details, as well as knowing what context the piece should take for the intended audience.
Councillor Claire Critchison, Isle of Wight Council
Jon carried out proofreading of three manuscripts for me since last year (about 30,000 words). I am very happy with the service. Jon offers suggestions and tips in order to improve my sentences. I found this very helpful. I am also happy with turnaround time which is 3–4 days. Important to mention that he is very realistic in quoting.
Dr Salem Alhababsah, Assistant Professor in Accounting, Coventry Business School
We have been extremely satisfied with Jon’s work on our article. He not only worked on correcting errors and typos, but gave us helpful suggestions on structure, fonts and consistency. The final work is clean and highly professional. Jon proved to be extremely reliable and careful to every detail. Extremely recommended for any stage/level of your writing.
Mattia Bevilacqua, researcher
Jon proofread the material I sent him within the agreed time. His approach was thorough and efficient. He picked up a number of errors a previous proofreader had missed and his comments and suggested corrections were easy to understand. He was unobtrusive and only suggested changes to the original where necessary. I was more than satisfied with his work and would strongly recommend him to anyone needing the services of a proofreader.
Alison Mukherjee, novelist
I enjoyed having Jonathan as my proofreader as he was prompt in returning my work and he understood the text. As my work was for Local and Central Government Departments, accuracy and clarity were very important and Jonathan helped me achieve this. He can work to deadlines, another important factor, and I can recommend him as a proofreader.
Janice Webb, independent evaluator
I can wholeheartedly recommend Jon to anyone looking for proofreading, editing and formatting any manuscripts and text. Competent, high quality and time efficient. Thank you so much for your help, Jon, and for helping on the next step of my writing career.
Valentina Macchi, novelist
I always find it difficult to write and tend not to value too much someone looking over my shoulder. However, help is at hand from Jon, who offers both a keen eye and, unusually for proofreaders, intelligent and sympathetically delivered commentary on style. I have become somewhat of an evangelist for proofreading, and Jon is as good as it gets.
