About
Proofreader Editor Writer/
We commend ourselves as creative, reliable and sympathetic people who spare no effort to give our clients good value. A request for our service is welcomed with a precise statement about what we can do to provide that service. Our clients soon find out that they are free to put their requests candidly. Experienced as we are at sorting out writing and study-related problems, we cannot but respond equally candidly: We know where we can and cannot accommodate you, so nothing you ask us will draw a vague answer.
