Brontë Proofreading and Editing Services

     

 I asked Paula to help organise a biographical account of Paddy Doherty’s life in the 10 years since he won Celebrity Big Brother. Most of the material was there as documents or recordings of interviews. Paula took the myriad of files, organised them, developed the prose and even helped to provide additional factual details or creative descriptions in some areas. She did all this while preserving the author’s voice and style, making the most of the comedic elements, with laugh out loud moments and ultimately making the book easy to read, which I know will be welcomed by Paddy’s fan base and new readers alike. Paula was very accommodating to changes in scope, she kept me updated with progress and I was delighted with the effort she put in to meet my needs and to deliver the end product. I would have no reservations in recommending Paula and Brontë Proofreading and Editing Services and I would not hesitate to work with Paula again on future PICTUREPOINT Films book projects.

 Paula did a fantastic job proofreading my book. The proofread added an extra polish to the book. I would highly recommend her work. Paula has a great eye for detail and spots the smallest of errors. I applied every suggestion she made. The book is now at a stage where I feel confident about publishing it. On top of that Paula created a Query and Style sheet.

 Outstanding copy edit. I highly recommend Bronte Proofreading and Editing Services. I used Bronte proof reading and editing services for my first book to be self published on Amazon. I was so impressed with the amount of work that Paula put into this. Paula really did go through my work with a fine tooth comb and came up with some brilliant suggestions for where I needed to reword sentences. Paula was really easy to communicate with and gave me regular updates with how she was getting on with the copy edit. I was amazed at the level of detail and am now very proud of my final draft. I would highly recommend Bronte Proofreading and I will definitely use them again.

 Just as Yorkshire is steeped in hidden gems, Paula Kench is most certainly a glorious Yorkshire gem! Having searched months-long for an editor and proofreader, I kept coming back to Paula’s website. And the results were not only turned around within a very short deadline, but were immaculate! Paula is truly a master of this profession! The writing/publishing world can be intimidating, especially as a new author. However, I felt in complete safe hands with Paula as per her remarkable communication. Paula elevated my writing to a polished piece of literature with her ninja-level attention to detail and her dedication when researching the topic of my historical fiction story. It truly felt as though Paula treated my work as if it was her own! The feedback was clear and easy to follow through, after Paula had provided extremely useful documents: my very own personalised style sheet and a query sheet. The query sheet listed all feedback and changes. My files have been formatted to a high publishing standard and I even have a second pass free of charge. For the quality of work that Paula has provided, the price was exceedingly reasonable! Throughout the process, Paula has been professional. Though it is very clear that Paula does not treat this as just a job, rather a passion. She is so well informed and has even suggested improvements and queries that I had gave no thought! The process could not have gone better, I could not recommend Brontë enough! I feel at ease knowing I will never have to spend months searching for another editor/proofreader again! Thank you for everything, Paula!

 Proofreading of Poetry A very professional and speedy service from start to finish. Reasonably priced for the amount of work done. Paula Kench interacted in a friendly manner and has given me positive criticism for me to move forward with my work. I didn’t expect this added to the proof read. I am so grateful of her professional opinion. (Hoping I've spelt everything right here 😀) I most definitely recommend this lady! 👌👌

 I would highly recommend Bronte Proofreading and Editing Services. Paula was very approachable and provided a very comprehensive, sympathetic but flexible approach towards the manuscript put forward for editing and proofreading. The quote given was extremely reasonable for the work that was required. Paula dealt with any queries or difficulties with professionalism and the timescale apprehended was swift but realistic.

 I was to work for Paula at Provident Financial as the IT Risk Manager. During this time Paula was to support and mentor me into a Senior Manager position at the Company. As well as a fantastic role model and source of advice, Paula's high attention to detail and command of the English language was to prove invaluable in putting together a series of Board reports to (successfully) seek funding for IT as well as report on material risks. Without Paula's help and support, I would not be where I am today.

 Congratulations on completing an absolutely excellent piece of work. You spotted most of the errors (both the originals and those made by the proofreader) and explained your corrections extremely well in your query list. In fact, your explanations were exemplary! Paula, you’ve completed an extremely good piece of work here. You have a good eye for detail with your editing and have explained many of your changes in a succinct manner. Paula, you have turned this around, removing all the inappropriate references and creating a tone that suits the target audience and anyone who may not have English as a first language. Furthermore, your rewrite was especially good with respect to the short and clear sentences (and bullet list) and the easy and friendly language, and your comments were good, well expressed and appropriate. Finally, you succeeded in working out the role of Del Boy and Stan, and in reducing the piece to the required length (around 50% of the original).

 A passionate, persuasive, listener, does the right thing and gets the job done. It was an absolute joy to work alongside Paula during my engagement with the Provident, she challenges well and like to get to the root of your thinking and why you make the recommendations you do. She uses this to apply fully the logic to the business problems and issues in hand to deliver a long lasting quality solution for the business. Fully appreciates and understand the part IT plays in the business process makes the links understands the need to provide excellent service and loves doing so. Measured and considered excellence at the heart of everything she achieves. Would work with her and for her at the drop of hat.

 Working with Paula was always straightforward with the outcome being either some clear direction from her, or a decision. She is extremely well organized, calm under pressure, re-assuring, commanding when the situation requires, practical and a good Team player. I know her staff hold her in high regard and as a Project Manager, working at Provident, I knew I could always rely on her advice and knowledge. She has a talent for being good at both operational and project roles!

 Paula's attention to detail is second to none. She prides herself on ensuring any documentation is completely accurate, readable and engaging, with the content directly relevant to the intended audience. When working with Paula I had full trust in her ability to produce meaningful and succinctly written communications.

 I recently employed Paula's services and was blown away by the results. Not only was the work turned around quickly, but the end product was immaculate. I'm a copywriter myself, so I appreciate good writing when I see it. I recently received some documents for a magazine. I didn't have the capacity to proofread them myself, so I passed them to Paula. If I thought the articles were okay when I received them, then I thought they were unbelievable when Paula sent them back. Paula took complicated topics like finance and investment, broke down sentence structures, corrected errors, and increased readability without compromising any of the core information., The end result was the same informative piece of material that would have been easy to ready for anyone, regardless of their finance and property knowledge. Paula knows how to make things make sense. She makes meanings clear and produce professional content. Thank you so much for everything, Paula. I would never hesitate to recommend you to anyone.
