"Our research team employed Jane to peer review a final report for the Ministry of Education. The final report was developed using a wiki and Jane was happy to work in this environment. She did a very professional job in terms of quality of feedback (both on intellectual matters, as well as formatting and editorial issues) as well as completing the editing within a tight timeframe. I highly recommend Jane's work to others and would be happy to provide further details if requested."

"Jane came highly recommended by my colleagues at the University of Canterbury. Jane swooped in at the final stage of my draft PhD submission and worked meticulously, editing where I had ceased to 'see' and providing valuable feedback on grammar and style. She was respectful, generous, supportive and very professional. Nga mihi nui ki a koe Jane!!"
