Cecile Shanahan, my first editor and early reader. You are so awesome and so good at what you do.

-Amy Doak, Author of ‘Eleanor Jones is Not A Murderer’ and ‘Eleanor Jones Can’t Keep a Secret’

Working with Cecile to bring my books to life has been a pleasure. Her expertise ensured that the characters and settings in my manuscripts were brought vividly to life. She has incredible attention to detail, catching inconsistencies I had overlooked, including grammar and punctuation, but also historical detail. Cecile has always communicated with clarity and shown respect for what I was trying to achieve in my writing. I cannot recommend her highly enough.

- Pauline Wilson, Author of ‘Conflict At Hanging Rock’, ‘Breaking Free’ and ‘Family & Fortune’

This was the first time I have used Cecile for a proofread. By the time she received the manuscript, it had already been structurally and copy edited. In her own words, 'The text was in quite good shape, there were not too many instances of errors.' Nevertheless, Cecile responded quickly with some valuable input. I would certainly request her services again in the future.

- Colin Sole, Author of 'Thirty Four' and 'Running Forever'

I found Cecile so easy to work with. The service she offered was very prompt and the suggested edits were clearly presented and concise.

Cecile was thoroughly professional and a pleasure to work with. She dealt with my manuscript in a timely fashion and spotted plot points that needed blending into the story in a better manner.

Cecile is an excellent proofreader, spotting errors that I just couldn't see despite reading my manuscript many, many times! Her response was timely, and allowed me to finalise my book in very good time for its launch.

Thank you, Cecile! You did an incredibly thorough job of editing my latest book, and turned it around so quickly as well. Along with your signature attention to detail, I also really appreciated the added feedback with regards to layout and voice. This was absolutely invaluable advice for me moving forward, and I look forward to working with you again.

When we approached Cecile to assist us with editing our three WholeBrain Learning books, we found her insights with words very helpful. Her friendly, professional manner and skills are outstanding. 

Cecile edited our work with care and accuracy; she was able to quickly understand our unique requirements with careful consideration of our audience. She was able to guide us to write our visual-auditory-movement-program in a way that is easily understood. 

We highly recommend Cecile for all your editing needs.

Cecile has been an amazing resource for our editing and copy requirements. Aside from being efficient and professional she provided copy that was interesting, relevant and perfectly suited to each of our four businesses. Cecile was able to supply us with a collection of different copy to be used across various platforms that could be mixed and matched depending on our needs. Cecile provides insightful feedback and has a keen eye for detail. We worked with Cecile from the other side of the country without any issues, she carefully researched our businesses to enable her to effectively deliver what was required. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Cecile for any editing, copy writing or proofreading tasks.
