“I can thoroughly recommend Vanessa’s services. I could not believe how quickly she proofread my dissertation. Her service was professional, prompt and respectful of University guidelines. The way Vanessa provided two copies of the document, one with changes approved and one with tracked changes, allowed me to check I was happy with the recommendations, but also enabled me to learn about some of the grammatical errors I had made. Some of the spacing and alignment recommendations Vanessa made were so subtle I would not have spotted them, yet they significantly improved the overall finish of the document. I would certainly use her services again.”
