Here are kind words of praise from some of the writers and publishers I’ve worked with.


‘He works magic’

Emma Ellis

author of the Raft Series (2022 -)

I have been delighted with Graham’s work with both my novels and will not hesitate to use his services again.

He has a skilled eye for detail and works magic to make a manuscript polished and professional. Highly recommend.


‘Fun to work with’

Pat Spain

Wildlife Biologist, Cryptozoologist, and TV Presenter

Author of the On the Hunt series for 6th Books (2022)

Graham's work made me feel truly confident that my books were ready to be published. He completely understood my style and what I was trying to achieve.

His guidance, suggestions, and opinions were invaluable, and he found the guiding thread in my book series so the whole thing stayed focused. He was also fun to work with.


‘Highly professional’

Henry Rowley

Ortac Press

Graham carried out a line and copy edit on our debut title, Flower Factory (2022). He was great to deal with from the word go, and the edit itself was thorough, nuanced and highly professional.

I wouldn’t hesitate in recommending Graham to other publishers looking for high quality editing work.


‘Alive to discussion over the finer points’

L. A. Davenport

Author of Dear Lucifer and Other Stories (2018) and No Way Home (2018)

Graham is a highly professional editor who is attentive to detail, imaginative, alive to discussion over the finer points of a story and thoughtful in his feedback, all without losing the bigger picture of what a narrative is trying to achieve.

Just as importantly, he is easy to work with, prompt and clear in his responses, and always reasonable in all aspects of his work.


‘Superbly measured advice’

Martin Weitz

Author of The Elena Text (2017)

Graham helped transform my ideas into an Amazon no. 1 best seller. He has the great ability to correct every tiny detail while giving superbly measured advice on overall structure.

He is a pleasure to work with - 100% reliable, endlessly patient, and with an understanding of complex writing ideas.


‘A personal interest in my story’

Lewis Talbot

Short story writer

Following a fantastic developmental edit of my short story, Graham was happy to engage in further discussions around the work, and continued to provide me with expert advice until I simply ran out of questions.

He understood and took a personal interest in my stories, and I wouldn’t hesitate to work with him again. His service was invaluable.


‘Precise, rigorous and thorough’

Vlado Kotnik

Author of Opera as Anthology (2016) and Small Places, Operatic Issues (2018)

Graham is not just a very precise, rigorous and thorough editor, but he also understands what the author wants to say - that's hard to find.


‘Above and beyond what I paid for’

Awais Khan

Young Adult fiction writer

Graham's work left me speechless - it was that good. Through a wonderful copy edit he offered vital advice on the story world, plot inconsistencies and character development. He even had a thirty-minute phone conversation with me to discuss things. This went above and beyond what I paid for.

I couldn't be happier to have a found Graham, and I look forward to a long and fruitful working relationship with him.


‘An excellent job’

Mike Dines, the Punk Scholars Network

Editor of Punk Pedagogies: Music, Culture and Learning (2017) and Postgraduate Voices in Punk Studies (2017)

Graham is affectionately known as the Punk Scholars' official editor, and he's done an excellent job on everything he's worked on for us.


‘Consistently stellar’

I have relied on Graham’s work for the past eight years. His work is consistently stellar, and goes much beyond syntactic and semantic editing, offering cues for improvement of your writing and spotting inconsistencies.

Ana

University of Lisbon

He is also great at fact checking. I recommend him to colleagues and postgraduate students all the time.


‘Dedication and readiness’

Yonatan Mendel

University of Cambridge

I was most impressed with the great effort Graham made in copy editing my thesis, with the dedication and readiness to respond to my special language requests, for being able to work around the clock, for being punctual and accurate, and also for the fair price. It definitely helped make my PhD become a reality.


‘Graham did it excellently’

Maria Nawojczyk

AGH University, Poland

I published a volume written by authors from nine countries, all of whom were writing in English as a foreign language.

This was a very challenging work to copy edit into a homogeneous entity, in good English, while keeping each author’s individual style, and Graham did it excellently.
