Testimonials

Debra cleaned up the spelling, punctuation and grammar issues in my recent masters assignment. She also made comments to help me make my writing more readable. Debra is very friendly with a key eye for detail. She is knowledgeable about academic writing and understands the ethics and boundaries involved in working with students’ writing.

MH, Spain

I am an Arabic speaker and sometimes I have to write letters in English to high level government officials. Debra has helped me several times with ensuring that the English was good. Most recently, she worked with me on an important project tender and reworked my long, translated text into a targeted and effective slide deck proposal. Debra is very efficient and good to work with.
