Thank you for sending me a copy of The Pocket Book of Proofreading. I am finding it very interesting and am nearly finished... I am ready for the de luxe version of the course. I haven't quite finished the book and am still finding it extremely interesting, especially as I am discovering so much I didn't know on the subject. Thank you for keeping me updated.

I have now completed the course and must congratulate you on this masterpiece. I have read a lot of ‘guides’ recently but none more informative or friendly. The information on how to get started is invaluable.

I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend The Pocket Book of Proofreading, and the unique online three-part course, to anyone who wants to work for themselves or just find out more about the work of a proofreader or copy-editor. My thanks and regards.

I’ve had four jobs so far with xxx Publishing, and am really enjoying the proofreading assignments from them.

It is great getting paid to read. When I tell people what I do, they can’t believe it.

Just a quick email to say thanks for all your help … the first publisher I called offered me work! I’m now working on my second book for them, with promises of more to come.

It was a course that changed my life and has given me a career that I love and the flexibility to stay at home with my son. Getting paid to read is like heaven on earth! I have three regular clients that give me all the work I want right now. Taking your course gave me the courage to take the plunge and go for it.

Have just finished my sixth book for them (a well known London publisher).

I love every minute of it. Thanks again. Best wishes.

I thought I’d let you know where your course has now led me! I have recently begun work full time for an Internet news group as a sub-editor. Little did I know that, when I started your course … it would result in me securing full time employment from home with my first ever invoice for £1,000 about to be issued. I have the champagne on ice.

Great book! Love the bookmark. It has everything anyone could ever need to make a fulfilling proofreading career.

Thank you very much for the speedy delivery of the course materials you sent and you have my most sincere apologies for not letting you know I had received them, as I intended on doing so but forgot. I look forward to starting the course soon!

I have just finished reading The Pocket Book of Proofreading and found it an extremely helpful resource . . . It is actually the sort of book I have been looking for for at least 3 years when I became interested in the field of proofreading. (Rosemary S.)

I have received the book and am finding it very inspirational. I can honestly say it is very user-friendly and positively written, which is refreshing to find! 

Also thank you for proofreading my email!  I do remember reading in your book about 'thank you' being two words, and hopefully won't forget again! (D.E.)

Please find enclosed cheque for the freelance proofreading & editing course, which I look forward to receiving.

By the way, a Dr R of Grayhill Surgery suggested I check out your website when I went to see him recently, and mentioned that I was in training for indexing. I thought you might like to know your friends are rooting for you! (Dr Kate Inskip, Monmouthshire)

Really enjoy the book and hoping to build a business proofreading. Kids get cross when I ban them from ordering restaurant dishes because of spelling errors on the menu! Smocked salmon the most common at the moment! Thank you for your well written book which has inspired me further.
