"Dr Karen Atkinson, also of the Charity Law and Policy Unit, has provided peerless editorial assistance. Her contribution goes beyond even this, however, as she has provided insight through thoughtful comments on chapters' structure and rigour. This volume was immeasurably improved by her participation, and we are grateful." (Extracted, with permission, from Acknowledgements page) Dr J. Picton & Dr J. Sigafoos Debates in Charity Law |

"Working with Karen has been excellent. She is very reliable, eagle-eyed and supportive. The idiosyncracies of my draft work were addressed thoroughly and she made observations which were thought-provoking and astute. Usually these prompted me to clarify a point or strengthen the line of argument. We negotiated the timeline and she always managed to turn work around as agreed. This ensured I was able to meet some tight deadlines. I have no hesitation in recommending her." S. Pearson Rethinking Children and Inclusive Education |

Further feedback
"Karen is an absolute professional. She proofread/edited (as much as is allowed for works that are assessed) my work, which I've recently submitted for approval as a PhD thesis. Karen gives to her clients the feeling, and also the experience, of full security and stability - one feels that they are in the hands of a very competent (knowledgeable and experienced) person who guides them through an excellently organised (by her) and thus smooth working process and saves them in tricky situations. In the beginning, she had explanation for all my questions about the working process and the practices in the proofreading/editing field (which also showed that she possessed great experience). Then, she was delivering always good quality, well-planned, accurate and quick work and she showed responsiveness and great patience answering all my questions or doubts! At the end, when I was under huge time pressure before the submission, she was there for me - she was helping me with everything that I wanted to work up till the very last moment. Also the price for her services is great - especially for such quality. In addition, Karen enriched my modest knowledge of English and made me see even more beauty in that language than I could see before - a contribution which goes well beyond the concrete project. I found Karen after quite some searching, and my search definitely paid off."

"I may be a Fellow of the Higher Education Academy and a Master of Laws with Distinction, but I was not so complacent as to submit my redrafted and many times revised 80,000 word PhD thesis without proper proofreading. I approached Karen and can honestly say that all the reviews here are absolutely spot on. Karen’s approach is honest, confident and reassuring. She had no difficulty keeping to agreed targets despite dealing with new complexity and dense philosophy. Her professional integrity, skills and superb attention to detail are combined with a much-needed personal approach. I sincerely, thoroughly recommend her service."

"I needed to have my PhD thesis proofread prior to submission. Luckily, I got in touch with Karen. Karen did excellent work on the thesis; I have had my viva and have been awarded my PhD! Amongst others, the examiners commended the beauty of my writing (thanks to Karen's polishing!). Need I say any more? Oh yes, Karen's fees were extremely good value. I am definitely working with Karen in all future academic write-ups."
