Goodnight Doll, Dr Angélique du Toit

This was a 45,000 word project. It was marked up in Word using Track Changes.

“This book is a tribute to two ordinary people and their journey with cancer through a love that was anything but ordinary.”

You can view Angélique’s blog, including posts about the book’s journey to publication, here. Alternatively you can view her author page on Amazon here.

Deciphered Emotions, James Reynolds

I worked on two versions of this 80,000 word project. Proofreading was undertaken in Word and marked up using Track Changes. I also provided a preliminary check for layout issues on PDF.

“Deciphered Emotions gives readers a comprehensive evidence-based understanding of the automated reactions that govern behaviour. Over sixty emotions are described in detail.”
