Comments

‘I was very impressed with Jane's flexibility and attention to detail. She took on a complex editing job for me and kept us all to schedule, a particular challenge as the work was being passed back and forth between a number of people at our end. Her project management skills are great, as is her diplomacy!’ Chloe Griffiths
