What they are saying about
Better Scribe
Danielle Hughes
"I have had a very positive experience with the manuscript assessment. You have been approachable, accessible and reliable. I love your positive comments both in the report and throughout the manuscript. It's very encouraging, especially for someone like myself doing this for the first time. I feel confident moving forward with the editing process and will not hesitate to engage in your services in the future."
Mark Gillespie
"Just wanted to say a big thank you for your help. I spent the last two days going through your comments for the 'FAB' manuscript. It's been a huge learning experience and you've made many valuable points. Some I might have discovered on further edits, but others I'm not so sure. It's made me realise the importance of using an editor. First time for me and for sure, I'll get back in touch next year with another manuscript. Well worth the cost."

"The editing team of Better Scribe have done a great job in editing and proofreading my book. They are prompt, professional, friendly and exceptional in their job with editing. They had fine tuned and shaped my book within a short time span and it is truly worth working with them! I thoroughly enjoyed working with Kelly and her team."
Sam Taylor
"Kelly and the team were great throughout the manuscript assessment and proofreading process. She was positive and encouraging, but at the same time didn't let anything get past them. They always returned the proofed manuscript exactly when they said they would. Their very professional input helped me create a tighter, more readable book which has now been published. I will certainly be using them again in future."
