Testimonials
Writers primarily concentrate on thought and putting the puzzle of words onto paper. What writers are often not necessarily good at, and what frequently gets overlooked, is grammar and equally importantly, the art of good punctuation. All writers need good proofreaders and editors, and that is where the brilliant skills of Mary Bate come in. The final draft of my manuscript was no exception. Mary was painstakingly thorough in picking up on detail and correcting even the minutest of anomalies throughout my lengthy account. A BIG thank you, Mary, for the valuable privilege of your discerning dedication and brilliant expertise.

Mary’s proofreading skills have been invaluable to us at Bishop’s Stortford Museum during the creation of our ‘On the Beat’ exhibition. Mary proofed all our display panels and her skill and detailed comments have greatly enhanced the readers’ experience. I cannot recommend her work highly enough.
