Sarah was the copyeditor for my first monograph and we spent a few intense weeks together getting the book ready for publication. Throughout this process, Sarah was wonderful to work with: extremely friendly and professional, always quick to respond, utterly reliable, and patient with a first-time author’s concerns. Her background in Arabic and Middle Eastern Studies was a huge help as well, as she was intimately familiar with the field’s intricate conventions and technicalities. I was very impressed with her ability to balance full attention to detail with complete accommodation of my own distinct authorial voice: it felt like we were partners in making the text ‘flow’ as nicely as possible, rather than an vying with each other to impose our own preferences. I would be delighted to work with Sarah again and wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone looking for an experienced, skilful, and committed copyeditor!
