When I sent my 600-plus page book to Adrienne for proofreading I never imagined she would find so many errors. Not only did she find errors in punctuation and spelling, she fixed wrong use of English, and even factual details. I learnt more about English over one weekend than all those years at school.

Adrienne is professional and a pleasure to deal with. For me, she showed a genuine interest in my project and went the extra mile to help me make sure my book was all I wished it to be.

If it is perfection in a timely manner you want, at a reasonable price, Adrienne comes highly recommended.

It has been a pleasure working with Adrienne from start to finish. She is professional, efficient and has kept me informed every step of the way. Nothing has been too much trouble for her and I cannot praise her work highly enough.

After a very bad experience with a previous proofreader, I was very wary at first, but I am so glad that I put my faith in Adrienne as she did an excellent job, and I shall certainly be using her services for my future books and will recommend her to all my friends and colleagues.

There is nothing worse than opening up the pages of your newly printed book to find a spelling mistake glaring out at you. As you glance over to the 999 other copies sitting in your garage you start to kick yourself that you hadn’t used a professional proof reader. I certainly didn’t want to make that mistake for my first book and that’s why I got in touch with Adrienne.

When I gave her the manuscript I was pretty confident that she would be hard pressed to find that many mistakes. Boy, was I wrong!

Adrienne was very thorough in her work and what I liked best was the time she took to sit me down and explain what corrections she had made to make sure that it was what I wanted. I was under a pretty tight deadline but Adrienne was able to pull out the stops and get the job done both quickly and thoroughly.

She is very professional in her approach and I would certainly recommend her to authors, publishers and anybody wanting to make sure that they present the right image to the public with their written work.

I am editor for our community newsletter in North Yorkshire, England. Mrs Morris has proofread it for me from its inception nearly two years ago.

She is very thorough, and very easy to work with. She always deals with my documents speedily so that I keep well within my deadlines, and is always happy to explain any changes. It is not unusual for me to email several pages in the evening and find that the edited version is waiting in my inbox the next morning!

I am obviously in the UK, and Mrs Morris is in New Zealand, but I work in Microsoft Publisher, and Mrs Morris makes changes for me in red so I can double check them. Even when the newsletter has been checked at our end by two or three people, Mrs Morris still finds errors! But I have learnt a lot from her work and our newsletter now looks far more professional. We have in fact just expanded it by 50 per cent.

Mrs Morris's fees are very reasonable and I would recommend her services to anyone producing any type of document.

I have known and worked with Adrienne Morris during the year 2008 when she volunteered to help with the publication of the local history book entitled ... and then came the bridge.

Without her multi-faceted skills in editing, photo enhancing, layout and computer knowledge, this book would not have the professional flair which has made it so popular in the community and further afield.

Adrienne worked day and night to help meet a deadline set by the publishers. Her dedication to attain perfection was outstanding and with her keen eye she picked up many errors overlooked by me and my co-author.

I recommend Adrienne in any sphere of publishing she chooses, and wish her well. It is not often one is privileged to work with such a singularly focused person.

Adrienne Morris compiles and edits our Torbay 60s-Up newsletter every two months. She produces a very professional and attractive publication, complete with photos and appropriate illustrations.

Each publication has consistency of format with variations of colour and arrangement. The content of each newsletter has been accurate, comprehensive, and very economically set out.

She is always willing to “go the extra mile” to make sure everything is included so that we have an interesting and 'easily readable' newsletter. We are very proud of it.

Thank you for your feedback; it was much appreciated. I'm pleased it didn't take too much time to pack them all up. That's great.

I thought the finished product looked excellent. We will definitely give people your name if we have any enquiries.

You have been wonderful to deal with and I would like to forward your name if we can.
