Novel development and full edit
CLIENT COMMENTARY:
"She sniffed through my manuscript like a bloodhound. Her general
knowledge makes it possible for her to find anachronisms that not many
other people would be able to.
What I realised only afterwards was that, through asking questions,
Heléne came to understand the language I use and with which I am
comfortable. While she could make me furious with all the questions at
times, it is exactly her insistence on asking them, and forcing me to
answer, that made it possible for her never to hijack my story.
Her quest for a product as close to perfect as humanly possible would be an asset to any fastidious author."

CLIENT COMMENTARY:
"Heléne is the most sterling editor I have ever worked with. She has
the ability to research and verify facts to the finest detail. Her
thoroughness, professionalism and ability to honour deadlines are
traits to which I am prepared to commit my reputation as an editor."

| And
more... It is not possible for me to showcase all my work here,
firstly, because I do not have all the documents available, and
secondly, companies requiring edits and reviews of documents most often
let their freelancers sign confidentiality agreements. To summarise:
• School books
• Academic work
• Medical and pharmaceutical edits, proofreading and reviews
• Technical edits, proofreading and reviews
• Short-term insurance
• Promotional edits, proofreading and reviews
To see full details and a chronological list of all my work, please contact me.
