Testimonials

Vicki has copyedited and proofread a significant number of our books for teachers and school leaders. Meticulous, thorough and professional, she is an extremely competent editor and proofreader. Vicki is reliable, flexible and able to accommodate tight deadlines and complex briefs. She is always a pleasure to work with and I would highly recommend her to other publishers.

Hannah Marston, Senior Commissioning Editor, Bloomsbury Education

Here at the Chartered College of Teaching we have had the pleasure of working with Vicki for the past few years on numerous publications and she has very much become an extended part of the publishing team. Her work is flawless yet speedy and I speak for the whole team when I say she is a delight to work with. We hope to continue the relationship for many years to come.

Miriam Davey, Head of Product, Chartered College of Teaching

I’d just like to say a very big thank you to Vicki for helping me with the story of Frances Fidget-Knickers. Having found Vicki on the internet, I can’t stress how important it is to get a manuscript proofread. She went that extra mile, giving it that spit and polish that made it so much better than I thought it could ever be. I will definitely be using Vicki again for my follow-up stories.

Colin Wicks, author

We are very happy with the work that Vicki has provided for us. Her proofing is accurate, meticulous and provides our documents with a professional finish. We would not hesitate to use her again.

Martin Hoare, Historical Association

Vicki is a reliable and diligent proofreader. I have used Vicki as a proofreader for my final year at university, and have always found her diligent in her attitude, accurate in her work and utterly reliable on her dates. I will always first check the availability of Vicki for my proofreading jobs. A true professional and an absolute pleasure to work with.

A Ali, Cyber Security Analyst

I contacted Fool-proofs to help me with some proofreading symbol questions, and some grammatical issues I was having with a project I was working on. The attention and service were both simply awesome. I was acknowledged immediately, and not only were all my queries addressed, but Vicki also noticed some issues that I hadn't even raised, and listed the solutions for my attention, with fantastic explanations. It's astonishing what an accomplished proofreader and editor can bring to a text. Regardless of how good you believe your piece to be, having a trained pair of eyes go over it for you will almost certainly be worthwhile. I have no hesitation whatsoever in recommending Fool-proofs.

D Payne, Risby

I recommend Vicki to everyone. She is very efficient about her work. When I came across her website I contacted her straight away because English is not my first language and it has been letting me down. I needed someone to proofread my work and Vicki has been very helpful, finishing on time with no problems at all. Vicki does a great job.

T, London

I have been pleased with the services you've provided and I would recommend you with pleasure to everyone.

As a German, writing a Doctoral Thesis in a second language, I have used the Fool-proofs professional academic proofreading service for my final draft to detect spelling and grammatical mistakes. The service was prompt and I would like to recommend this academic proofreading service as truly reliable.
