“Lucy did an outstanding job on the launch issue of SCIDAC Review, a publication we published under contract for Oak Ridge National Laboratory in the US.  Lucy consistently produced work of the highest quality and frequently ‘went the extra mile’.”

JN, group publisher, IOP Publishing

“I was impressed with the copy editing of my book; the comments helped me further improve the concepts I wrote. Very often I take for granted that the reader knows what I am talking about. Lucy helped me by clarifying my writing and making it intelligible for a larger public.”

DM, postdoctoral researcher, University of Helsinki

“Lucy performed a timely, sensitive and professional job on the copy editing of the PDF pages of a significant technical resource. I am grateful for her flexibility, rigour and ability to deliver on time.”

IL, Supporting Physics Teaching
