Craig proofed a rugby book I had written prior to publication. The copy he sent back was perfectly done, with no further work needed by me. Very happy.

I recently engaged CRS Editorial for a project which had a pretty tight turnaround to hit a printing deadline. Craig was fab! He was fast, efficient and really clear with his feedback and support. Cannot thank him enough for his prompt and professional service.
