 Miranda is one of our most trusted freelancers, a copy editor and structural editor with a brilliant eye for detail and whose queries are without fail precise, intelligent and pertinent. She has saved me and many authors from countless embarrassments. She’s quick and prompt and a joy to work with. I’d recommend her without hesitation. – Anna Simpson, Managing Editor, Unbound

I have worked with Miranda regularly since September 2020 on both proof-reading and copy-editing projects, mainly in the historical fiction genre. She is an absolute pleasure to work with, unflappable, and always meets agreed-upon deadlines. I have found her attention to detail consistent across entire novels, even with the most convoluted of briefs, with an eye for inaccuracies that borders on hawk-like. I now regularly use Miranda's services for my frontlist titles, confident in the knowledge they are in safe hands. I cannot recommend her highly enough. – Craig Lye, Commissioning Editor, Canelo

We've thrown a diverse range of work at Miranda, both as a copy editor and as a development editor.

Highly recommended. – C. M. Taylor, Prepare to Publish
