“Sandy is imaginative and conceptual, with a broad flair for marketing and PR copywriting.”
Guy Gueirard, EMEA Director Office & Logistics Agency and Consulting JLL
“Two things particularly stand out about Sandy’s bid writing capability: her tremendous work ethic and her meticulous attention to detail.
Given a verbal briefing, she quickly distils the essential technical detail — even in subjects outside her sphere of knowledge — to craft new prose on that subject, or to edit others’ work without modifying the message.
Against looming deadlines, she remains unfazed when material suffering from poor grammar and spelling is passed to her: her journalistic training allows her to focus not only on improving the syntax, but on making the message compelling.”
Tim Kirby, Rail Manager (retired)
“Sandy offered valuable industry insight which helped us to navigate the tricky path to publishing our Benjy Bunn series for children. The back-cover blurb is also, thanks to her, a fitting homage to author Bev Scott Prior.”
Danielle Melhuish, Illustrator
“Sandy’s writing and editing skills bring real value to the bid process, turning often-dry material into succinct narrative. Her sharp proofreader’s eye also spots inconsistencies or content gaps, prompting her to check facts or seek an elusive detail to make an argument more compelling.”
Tony O’Donnell, Engineering Director Morgan Sindall
“To say that Sandy is a perfectionist would be something of an understatement! As a writer she is relentless in seeking out new detail to make her narrative watertight, as an editor she focuses on succinct and streamlined structure and flow, and as a proofreader she is the ultimate Grammar Ninja. I can’t wait to work with her again, and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to others.”
Paul Probert, Director CHC Complementary Healthcare Ltd
“Given only the vaguest brief – and in a remarkably quick turnaround – Sandy returned a polished and eloquent version of the text to accompany the new website for our French gîte business. By applying a mix of wordsmithing, editorial insight and constructive critique she raised the original dry narrative to a whole new level of marketing appeal. The website is now up and running and attracting new guests!”
Bruno & Ritva Speed (Proprietors) La Belle Etoile
“I recommend Sandy to anyone who needs help writing a winning proposal. She takes time to understand her audience and writes with eloquence and simplicity.”
