Craig was absolutely brilliant from start to end. He was so clear in the way he worked with us and also a really lovely and easy going personality in the mix. Such a fantastic person to work with, so methodical in approach but also so encouraging and patient. We feel so lucky to have come across Craig and are delighted with the final draft.}

• Isabel Carter

  

  ^{Thank you Craig for editing my book. I had been warned that the editing process could be quite painful so working with Craig came as a very pleasant surprise. He was always sensitive with his comments, made excellent observations, questioned the right things and generally made me think about what I had written. His input undoubtedly elevated the quality of my prose and has left me with a far more polished and professional book without me ever feeling I had lost my voice. I think it is also worth pointing out that on the odd occasion where I didn’t want to follow his advice he was always respectful and did not try to push his opinion on me, which I very much appreciated. He also has a good eye for detail and picked up on all the spelling and grammatical errors! All in all, working with Craig was a very positive experience and I would not hesitate to recommend him.}

I highly recommend him, as his skills and expertise will take your content to the next level.}

• Keith Blakemore-Noble

  

  ^{Having written a few books, I appreciate the importance of a good editor. It’s more than proofreading and catching typos, spelling mistakes and grammatical errors (which require an incredible eye for detail). A good editor also takes a view over the entire book, checking it makes sense, that everything flows, that there are no inconsistencies, and a whole lot more. I’m extremely grateful Craig was this pair of eyes for my book. He is always open, friendly, dedicated and professional.
  His feedback and editorial suggestions were spot on – they highlighted sections which benefited from further work to make things crystal clear for the reader. I’m very happy to be able to offer my book to the public knowing it is the best it can be. I shall be looking to work with Craig again on my next book – he makes a great addition to the team!}

I would 100% recommend him and he will be the first person I think of when I need some copywriting completed.}

  ^{Craig fulfilled my request for copywriting to promote two projects for my business. He took time and care to understand the messages needed. Craig is easy to work with and I much appreciated his professional help.}

• Jody Fletcher

  

  ^{Craig is easy to work with. Quick, very efficient and friendly. Thanks Craig!}

• Angela Wren

  

  ^{Craig edited a short story to go into an anthology. He was efficient, worked within the constraints that were set by the compiler of the book, and met all deadlines throughout the whole process. The role of an editor is not just to correct the text but also to ask questions. As my story was historical, Craig quite rightly challenged me on some of the facts and contentions within the fiction and I was grateful that he did so. I will be happy to use Craig’s services again and have already asked him to edit another story for the next release in this set of four anthologies.}

• Carmen Playfair

  

  ^{I learned about CRS Editorial via the London Book Fair. I contacted Craig as soon as my manuscript was finished.

• Gemma Wilks

  

  ^{I have had the loveliest experience working with Craig. I met Craig networking a year or two ago and always knew I’d be hiring him to write content for me one day. The perfect opportunity came up to outsource some of my writing work, but I needed the finished product the same week. Craig wrote in the exact style I asked for and the piece of writing was perfect. Normally I’m quite picky but didn’t feel I needed to make any tweaks or go back to him with any questions at all. Speedy, reliable, accurate and creative. I’d highly recommend Craig and I look forward to passing on more work to him in the coming months.}

• Dominic Carter

  

  ^{I can’t rate the services of CRS Editorial highly enough. The support given while I embarked on my first foray into the world of writing has been second to none.

• Richanah Daly

  

  ^{I’ve been incredibly lucky to have found Craig to support me with my forthcoming book.

Alongside creating consistent and engaging text, he also offered helpful insights about the wider project. We cannot recommend CRS Editorial highly enough and will continue to use their services going forward.}

• Deby Jackson

  

  ^{Craig was a delight to work with. I met Craig through LinkedIn and as a networker there’s a wide range of choice for copywriting service providers. Craig stood out for me with his super-friendly approach. He nailed the brief to write copy for a very niche and hard to explain business. He was very patient with us, as our drafts and planning took longer than originally anticipated. I’d highly recommend his services.}

• Kevin Roach

  

  ^{I recently needed a mailshot for my business and had no hesitation in contacting Craig. He sympathetically edited my clumsy attempts and crafted exactly what I wanted, which resulted in a professional and successful campaign. I have no hesitation in trusting Craig and his helpful manner to represent me, and recommend his talents to anyone who needs them.}

CRS provides a personal and friendly approach and the value is outstanding. I am so pleased I had the good fortune to discover CRS Editorial.}

• Emma Hurst

  

  ^{We used CRS Editorial to copy edit and proofread some policy and procedure documents. Craig was very thorough and professional. He found inconsistencies we didn’t know existed and was very clear in the improvements we needed to make. Subsequently, Craig spared me his time to take me through his services, particularly around content editing and all the terminology and processes around creating excellent content. I am looking forward to working with Craig on future content that will support our volunteers in athletics and running.}

• Ashley McCarthy

  

  ^{CRS Editorial was recommended to me by a book production company as part of my self publishing process. Craig handled the final proofread for my book, The Heralding. During the process I found Craig to be professional and affable. He was prompt with deadlines and saw all the details hidden within the text which were either incorrect or potentially confusing for the reader; whether that be interrupted flow of words or problematic language. He was also very supportive and encouraging which was greatly appreciated, as this was my first published works.}

• Family Fit UK

  ^{I was introduced to CRS Editorial when attending various business networking events and after a short time of knowing Craig it became very apparent that his professionalism and expertise to his work shone through, which made CRS Editorial the obvious choice when I required them to take on a content project.

• Steven Bancroft

  

  ^{Where do I begin with my recommendation of a thoroughly professional, loyal and hard working colleague. Accuracy, organisation and a fastidious nature are common among editorial professionals, but Craig offers so much more as he’s approachable, friendly and a thoroughly decent guy to boot. His project management skills are top drawer, as are his client management skills, making him a great choice for a freelance project. If you’re looking for a reliable, honest and trusted professional, I’d have no hesitation in recommending Craig.

Craig assisted me with the modernisation of an outdated newsletter for ECB’s cricket umpires and scorers into a professional magazine that the content deserved. I had a vision which Craig, managing his team, turned into reality via highly competent project management, fine tuning supplied content and developing a flatplan to work from. I extremely valued the editing and proofreading that Craig undertook for me, releasing valuable hours in the week to deliver other projects – I quickly knew I was in safe hands.}

• Paul Randle

  

  ^{When it comes to timing, scheduling and deadlines, there are few people that I have come across in my career that are as organised and reliable as he is. Craig will always make time for the person in front of him, before getting stuck into the task at hand, it is a pleasure to work with him! Writing this testimonial took me longer because I was conscious that Craig would read it – with his eagle eyes that have a natural ability for spotting editorial errors and inconsistencies, that, even after many proofreads, overt me!

He was a great foil to work with, very efficient and proved a very good writer, always taking on guidance and advice, and improving his skills all the time. His project management skills were second to none, and more importantly, he had a great sense of humour and knew that the reader was the most important person in everything we did.}
