TESTIMONIALS
I recently worked with Sarah on my promotion application and was very pleased with the results. She has a keen eye for detail and made sure every part of my application was carefully reviewed and improved. She also took the time to understand the specific criteria and tailored the language to fit my institution's standards. Despite the tight timeline, she worked quickly and efficiently. Thanks to her help, my application is stronger, and looking nice. I would recommend Sarah to anyone in need of quality copy editing services for promotion applications — Academic, Australian university (July 2024)
A pleasure to work with, Sarah understands how to get the best out of a story. Her insights and recommendations have exceptionally enhanced my fiction manuscript. Not only does she pick up on the slight nuances, she considers the whole story to ensure a coherent flow — Independent Author (February 2024)
Sarah is able to effortlessly transform briefs — however complicated or research-intensive — into succinct, well-written pieces that always meet our high expectations. When writing for a client, she is skilled at meeting their particular guidelines and ensuring consistency in style, while her pieces for Insider Guides are infused with personality. Her background in copyediting ensures her pieces are polished and ready for publication — Alex Craddock, Insider Guides (August 2022)
Sarah is a pleasure to work with. She's responsive, hardworking, and demonstrates a high level of professionalism. Her adaptability and versatility in managing various client requirements have been a significant asset to us. I would highly recommend her services to anyone seeking a top-notch copywriter — Rebecca MacFarlane, Insider Guides (August 2022)
As an academic, researching and writing down my ideas is half the publishing battle won. The other half is editing. Driven by her ‘love of words’, Sarah has helped me to succeed by emphasising what needs to be highlighted while removing redundancies and acknowledging academic conventions - quickly and efficiently.
Academic promotions and job applications are challenging to write. They’re detailed and lengthy … and must tell a compelling narrative in the best possible light that highlights relevant strengths and achievements with honesty and modesty. Your knowledge of what’s needed, ‘love of words’ and eye for detail have provided the expert help I needed to successfully secure my last two academic promotions and job applications. Thank-you, Sarah! — Dr Diane Kalendra, Australian Institute of Business (April 2022)
I have availed the services of Dr Sarah Pearce to edit several journal articles and book chapters. Her meticulous editing and proofreading significantly improved the quality of those papers. She has also edited two successful promotion applications for me. I would like to express my sincere thanks and gratitude to Sarah for providing me with valuable suggestions to improve the content, structure and presentation of these applications. Given her proven professionalism, respectful communication and experience, I would recommend her services for any research papers and job/promotion applications — Dr Mamun Ala, Australian Institute of Business (July 2022)
Our organisation has engaged Sarah on a number of projects, including copyediting, document drafting and formatting of a 500+ page document prior to publication on a tight schedule. The quality of Sarah’s work was excellent, she responded quickly and communication was easy and efficient. I highly recommend Sarah and will most certainly continue to work with her on future projects — Susie Hughes, International Coalition to End Organ Trafficking in China (February 2021)
Dr Sarah Pearce has edited one of the fictional stories that I have written. Sarah’s editing work has been exemplary, that I could see the story's soul gently emerged with each iteration in the editing process. Sarah edited the language and offered suggestions on the story's structural and narrative side, making a significant difference in the end product. The working process has been seamless, and it took a week or so to complete the work after a few back and forth email communications. I highly recommend Sarah’s editing services for any creative and professional writing — Sumesh Nair, independent author (March 2021)
I engaged the services of Sarah to edit my honours thesis as she had come highly recommended with good credentials. Working with Sarah as she edited my thesis was easy as she had a personalised approach to my needs as a client. No question was too silly and she took into account my concerns and made recommendations based on her expert knowledge of what was required to polish my thesis to perfection. I was impressed with Sarah’s attention to detail. I am not sure that I would have achieved the mark that I did had I not had such a professional and accomplished editor to skilfully transform a sound piece of research into a great thesis. I will be engaging Sarah for future pieces of work and recommending her services to anyone I know who seeks a masterful editor who takes the time to really understand her client’s needs — Paula Medway, Honours student (February 2021)
