What clients say about my work
Samina Uddin
Author of Delhi Nights to London Lights
"Laura was a joy to work with. She was meticulous, marvelous and punctual. She delivered much more than I expected. She made my manuscript shine and sparkle. She gave me a value added edit.
I can’t recommend her highly enough.
It began as a professional relationship, now I’m grateful to have Laura as a friend."
Farah Zaman
Author of Beneath the Crimson Circle
"Laura proofread my last book, Beneath the Crimson Circle. From the start, I was confident that she would do an excellent job because of her impressive credentials. When I received the proofed copy of the first half of the manuscript, I was delighted that Laura had caught some of the subtle mistakes I had made. After she completed the full manuscript, I breathed a sigh of relief. Knowing that Laura had gone through my book with a fine-tooth comb and found every typo and inconsistency within it, took a great weight off my chest. For any writers or authors looking for a professional and reliable proofreader, I recommend Laura without any hesitation."
