Clearly Edited
Testimonials and selected work
With 15 years’ experience editing theses, academic articles and other publications, I have supported writers through the challenges of preparing their work for submission and publication. Here are two clients’ experiences, followed by a selection of works I have helped prepare.
Supporting a doctoral researcher
“Adele was an amazing support while I was writing my PhD thesis. I had lost my Endnote database and Adele was an expert in helping to re-establish all of my citations. Having her support meant I could focus on my writing and research instead of worrying about referencing protocols. However, I am most grateful to Adele for her editing work as the thesis was completed. Her expertise was invaluable when it came to correct style and formatting. I was so grateful to have worked with Adele. I doubt I would have met my submission deadline if I didn’t have her wonderful help along the way. Highly recommended.”
Dr Leanne Faulkner
Leanne completed her PhD thesis, When size matters: Mentally healthy workplaces for sole traders and micro-business owners, at the University of Newcastle in 2024. Her research offers valuable insights into mental health in Australia’s sole-trader and micro-business workplaces.
A longstanding editing partnership
“Adele has been my editor for more than 10 years. From first draft to final, she has a sharp eye for clarity, precision and grammar. Her standard of work has been consistently of an exceptionally high standard.”
