“Wendy did a fantastic job of proofreading Nada, a historical thriller, delivering ahead of schedule. She provided an edited Word document with Track Changes on as well as a separate final version to help save time for the author in processing the changes. In addition, Wendy also included a style sheet with common issues, fantastic for improving the next manuscript. Highly recommended for authors needing that detailed polish.” Joanna Penn, www.TheCreativePenn.com

“Wendy Janes is a proofreading goddess! She is prompt, meticulous, and a pure pleasure to work with. Wendy completed my edits ahead of schedule, her price was more than reasonable, and even though I was confident my manuscript was squeaky-clean, she found an embarrassing number of mistakes and inconsistencies. I also loved her sense of humor, the way she explained why she made certain changes, and the fact that she would give me several alternate options in many cases rather than just making a flat-out change. I absolutely cannot recommend her highly enough.” Jenna McCarthy, co-author of The Size of Everything

“I’m a British novelist writing in the United States, and the different UK/US spelling and punctuation conventions can lead to manuscript chaos! Fortunately, Wendy Janes is a diligent, knowledgeable ally in the proofreading process. She completed More or Less Annie, a 76,000-word manuscript, ahead of schedule and at reasonable cost. She also went above and beyond proofreading to point out word choices that didn’t fit a British character’s dialogue, and inconsistencies in context. The icing on the cake was her ability to identify and correct several formatting errors; though she suggests using a professional formatter for complicated issues. I wish I’d found her for my first novel. I highly recommend Wendy and look forward to working with her again.” Tracey Gemmell, author of Dunster’s Calling, www.traceygemmell.com

“Wendy proofread my second novel, she is a pleasure to work with. Her knowledge, skill and sharp eyes picked up numerous, minor errors which both I and my editor had overlooked despite numerous read throughs. Wendy noted misleading sentences, caught graves which should have been acutes and found spaces in places they shouldn’t have been.
My manuscript now sparkles, and I would definitely use Wendy again. Her prices are fair, her work is exemplary, and the proofread was completed ahead of schedule.
Thank you, Wendy, for a scrupulous and professional service. Thoroughly recommended.” Sam Russell, author of the contemporary romances A Bed of Barley Straw and A Bed of Brambles

“I highly recommend the proofreading services of Wendy Janes. She is a consummate professional with a keen eye, and she completed the job exactly as she described (no surprises!) ahead of schedule (amazing!) with a lovely, positive attitude. Her rates are reasonable; she always replies to emails within 24-48 hours and she delivers exactly what you pay for–a red-inked copy; a clean copy with thoughtful, articulate, helpful suggestions; and a comment sheet that highlights measures of improvement. Working with Wendy was a joy. I plan to use Wendy’s proofreading services for my next novel.” Gina Fava, author of The Sculptor

“Wendy did a fantastic job proofreading my manuscript. She corrected space, spelling and punctuation errors and made notes where she questioned things I may have done intentionally instead of assuming they were mistakes. She noted where my use of nicknames was not consistently capitalized and corrected grammar. I am from America and we speak slightly different than those in the UK but this did not pose any issues for Wendy. She returned my corrections as promised, not later than requested. I highly recommend her and will use her upon completion of my next novel.” Carolyn Ridder Aspenson, author of Unfinished Business: An Angela Panther Novel
