    Stephen reviewed and proofread my new book adding value in the process. He caught errors that both the software and I had missed (and I'm already a published author). He suggestions truly helped make the book all that more useful.

    Stephen's edit of my novel was very detailed and included suggestions to improve the writing. He provided more than I expected. The rating was reduced to the additional time it took for him to finish the work and me having to chase him up. His response time in replying was always great but I would have...

    I am very disappointed. The "result" of the proofreading assignment is inadequate. Sentences were not rewritten (85 pages of text, after all), nor were suggestions made for better content. Instead, the text color(!) was corrected or single commas were deleted. Not ONE new suggestion or sentence change...
