“I first worked with Alexis in my mid-20s when we both ran departments at The Guardian and I was in utter awe at her skills as a writer and editor. The fact that she agreed to help research and sub-edit this book was my very great good fortune.

“There is no one who could have done a better job at knocking me and the copy into shape or who could have helped with everything from tidying grammar to shoring me up when the process became daunting – which it frequently did”

— Mary O’Hara – Award-winning journalist; author of Austerity Bites and The Shame Game; founder of Project Twist-It

“Finding an editor who is a joy to work with isn’t easy. Finding an editor who has the sensitivity, insight and intelligence to tune in to the work being edited is even more difficult. Alexis edited a 75,000 word manuscript for me, preparing it to be fit for submission and publication.

“I have no hesitation in recommending her because she is an editor who is all of the above and also wonderfully skilled at her work, one who can efficiently and effectively enhance a piece of writing, make helpful and appropriate suggestions as to structure, time, style and content, and who became a trusted partner in maximising the potential of my manuscript. Not only all of that, she is great fun to work with and I will always want her to be my editor in the future.”

— Rick Tucker – Author of Under The Flamboyant Tree, A Dog Unchained and Softly Falls the Stars at Night (forthcoming)

“Having worked with Alexis on a demanding project I can quite confidently say she is organised, efficient, able to work to deadlines and produces good, strong, clear web content.”

— Jackie Blaker – Maxx Design Ltd

“Alexis got to work quickly, interpreting the brief as we’d hoped and asking questions when further clarification was needed. She saw the project through to the last moment to ensure quality and consistency – we very much valued her contribution.”

“Very responsive and clear. Worked extremely hard to understand a fairly complex offering. Tried to be creative and constructive in her criticism. Very pleasant and easy to work with. I would use her again unhesitatingly. Very good value for money.”

— Business consultancy and business plan writing for international investment company.

“We have used Alexis for over eight years on a wide range of writing, editing and whole projects such as her heavy involvement in our annual report – the quality is always high and she always delivers on time. I would recommend her without hesitation.”

— Peter Bennett – former Partnership Executive Officer, Bates Wells

“Alexis worked with us on the wholesale rewriting of our website, working closely with staff at the firm and the web design team. In addition to copywriting services and profile pages, her work included restructuring the content, where required, and ensuring that design and copy worked effectively together.

“Of all the components necessary for a new website, we recognised that producing good copy was likely to prove the biggest challenge. Fortunately, with Alexis on board we were able to meet the challenge with confidence. Her contribution was immense. We now have website content that accurately reflects the range of services our firm offers and successfully conveys the firm’s ethos.”

“We’re delighted with the brochure copy that you put together for us. We fully expected it to be tricky to simplify our offerings and make them easily understandable and attractive – not least because we’re targeting both native and non-native English speakers! But you managed it effortlessly, with copy that was succinct, well-written and covered all the points we discussed. 

“A truly impressive service.”
