I have trained as a proofreader and copy-editor and I have a good degree in English and Latin. I have an almost 'geekish' passion for linguistics and grammar and I actually enjoy burying my nose in a good grammar book! Almost a decade of editing and producing publications at St John's College, Cambridge, and several years working at a leading academic bookseller have given me a wealth of experience and knowledge of publications and publishing. Perhaps most important of all, I am scrupulously honest, hard-working, reliable and I am lucky enough to enjoy many client relationships that are based on mutual trust and respect.

Perfect Words (ironically) cannot guarantee 'perfection' in all cases. I would always ask clients to have realistic expectations about what can be achieved, especially if budget and timescale are tight. For example, if the English in the document is not very clear, the word count is high, timescale and budget are both limited and the brief particularly complex, there is a limit to what can be achieved. [Students, please also bear in mind that there are strict ethical guidelines regarding permissible levels of intervention and potential 'rewriting' issues.]

I promise that I will offer you a competitive quote; that you will be charged only for the time I have spent working on your document; and that I will use all my experience, skills and training to ensure that your work looks its very best (working within the budget and timeline discussed).
