    Dominic Kemp, art dealer, Dominic Kemp Modern British Prints

  • "The transcription of 19th-century letters is crucial to my work. Alison has proved to be both more accurate and more enthusiastic than I could have hoped for. I’ve no hesitation in recommending her wholeheartedly."

    Nick Hills, BA (Cantab) – author of Arnold Hills and the Lure of Extremity

  • "Alison is an excellent proofreader – eagle-eyed, extremely thorough, professional and quick to spot not-so-obvious errors. She picked up the intricate APA 7 house style very quickly."
