TESTIMONIALS
Rashid Maxwell
Author, poet and artist
You managed an intense and difficult operation – wielding a scalpel neither too broad nor too narrow – what more can a writer desire in the delicate, creative and critical restructuring of his or her work?

Hilary has been a great editor, precise and rigorous. Despite her heavy workload, she has always helped me and delivered the work in time, showing a great knowledge of philosophy, anthropology, and law. During my PhD I have contacted diverse editors but I have to admit that Hilary is the best editor I have ever had and I am sure that our professional relationship will not end with the conclusion of my PhD. Hilary is also a very polite and kind person and it is a real pleasure to work with her.

Hilary has edited and also proofread three books, one non-fiction and two fiction, for me. With regards to editing, I’ve found always found her comments and suggestions useful. Invariably an editor has to impart information that the writer might not want to hear! Though needs to. Hilary always does this tactfully with a positive slant. The great thing about Hilary is that she GETS what I’m writing about. With regards to proofing, Hilary must be the most erudite person I know. Nothing slips past her. Oh, and she makes the whole process of putting a book together fun.

I had finished what I thought would be the final draft of my novel, 1066: What Fates Impose and I decided I might just require the services of an editor. A friend recommended Hilary and I sent her my manuscript for comments. It's just as well I did!
Hilary had many useful suggestions to make and pointed out, very sensitively, what ought to be omitted, things that needed to be changed and what might usefully be added.
Over the time we worked together I always found Hilary to be professional, accommodating and a pleasure to work with.

Hilary Arundale was recommended to me by my PhD supervisor to proof-read my doctoral thesis in Law. This was the best decision I ever made! I would like to emphasise that the fact that my thesis contained legal terms and notions, Hilary Arundale was superb in her task and made very good observations and corrections.
I would highly recommend Hilary Arundale, as her meticulous approach and clear comments made the final revision of my doctoral thesis a very straightforward process. Her work was accurate, perceptive and informative. She enabled me to make the necessary adjustments easily and quickly, while maintaining the clear professional line between advice and direction. Despite the very tight deadlines, Hilary Arundale responded promptly and conscientiously, making my thesis revision her priority. She met agreed deadlines and was flexible over my precise requirements. Beyond her professional competence, expertise and overall excellence, Hilary Arundale was easy to work with and has a pleasant personality. She took personal care for the task at hand, doing her absolute best to achieve the best result. I have learnt a lot from the process, which has helped my own writing and I am indebted to Hilary Arundale for all her help, support, and excellent work.
