Testimonials


​I always strive to ensure all my clients are happy with the work I have done for them. 

Here is some of the feedback I have received.

Took my concerns away

"Writing a book for the first time was a daunting exercise. Marja took on my book project, made the process seamless and took my concerns away by creating the flow and structure to enable me to take it to the next stage (publishing) without compromising the theme I wanted to achieve. She simply got it. The process was very professional and structured.
Marja always gave delivery dates, and always delivered on or before those dates. It really turned a process of ‘Where and how do I go from here?’ to an enjoyable and comfortable experience.
During the various editing stages, Marja created a platform to enable my feelings, opinions and thoughts to be expressed so as not to lose what I wanted to achieve. This was very important to me. I certainly recommend Marja for your own book editing." Paul Nielsen, business advice book

Would use Clearlingo again

"Our organisation had worked with Clearlingo on another project, so we returned to them for another piece of work. Marja was efficient and professional. My queries were responded to promptly and even my tight timeframe was not too much of an ask for Clearlingo to achieve. Would recommend and definitely will use again for other projects." Kalliana Kong, Communications Advisor, QEII National Trust

Outstanding editor

"I came across Marja from Clearlingo while searching for an editor for my book on the internet. I have to say it was the best decision I made. Marja was awesome to deal with. My time frame was quite tight but Marja made sure she fitted me in. She went through my manuscript with a fine-tooth comb, making suggestions along the way, ensuring a professional result. She communicated with me every step of the way and always replied to my queries quickly. I could not be happier with her services. If you are writing a book, do not overlook the importance of employing the services of an outstanding editor. You will not regret choosing Marja." Author, cookbook

Personalised support

Marja's professional and personalised support has enabled me to produce a polished manuscript ready for publishing.  I was highly impressed with the lengths that Marja went to, not only with editing and proofreading my text to a high standard but also ensuring that the content was error-free.  Throughout the process, I appreciated the clear feedback Marja provided along with the ease of email dialogue enabling me to gain further advice.  I would not hesitate to work with Marja again and recommend her services to any writer." Self-publishing author, non-fiction

Kindness, skills and patience
​

"I could not have done this alone without your kindness and professional skills. And the patience you have is amazing. A thank you is not enough - you are the best. If you are looking for an editor, stop. You have found one." Wendy Reynolds, memoir​​

I felt she was interested in my story

"This is my first attempt at writing a children’s book and I was recommended to Marja at Clearlingo to copy-edit and proofread my manuscript.
I found her to be very professional right from the start in all aspects of our communication.
Marja is very thorough with storyline, sentence structure, errors, timelines, plot structure and grammar and offers very good advice. I felt she was actually interested in my story by asking questions for clarification.
I would recommend Clearlingo to anyone interested in writing for Marja’s expertise and experience.
I would definitely use her services again."
L Wikeepa, children's book
Flexible and highly professional
 
"Marja was highly flexible to accommodate with my unusual circumstance, and the fact that the book had already been edited in German once.
Her editing and proofreading are highly accurate, precise and professional. I couldn't imagine a thing to escape her. Her work was very transparent as she always kept me up to date (which I appreciated a lot) and finished more than on time. I would absolutely work with her again." Silke Noll, intercultural training book

Positive and inspiring

"We found Marja through researching through the internet for an editor we felt would meet our requirements. On reading her testimonials we felt she was that person. She was positive and inspiring. She kept us up to date on the entire creative process. We would highly recommend her to anyone seeking further assistance in their endeavour."  Authors, self-help book

A high standard

"It was an absolute pleasure working with Marja. Her services were very professional. My manuscript was edited and proofread to a high standard and Marja’s responses were clear and concise. I particularly liked Marja’s tight scheduling arrangements as this kept me up to speed. I am looking forward to working with Marja again and I do recommend her to anyone in need of superior editing and proofreading skills."
Author, fantasy novel​

Enhanced the quality 

"Having recently engaged Marja Stack from Clearlingo to proofread and edit my manuscript, I have no hesitation in recommending Marja to any who would like to use her services. Mrs Stack’s suggested improvements  in both editing and grammar has been a big help in polishing my writing and added enormously to my books value, content and the points I’m trying to convey. While allowing me to have the final say as to what I want published, Marja’s ideas and professional knowledge of editing and proofreading has enhanced the quality of my manuscript and will allow me to publish a book I’m sure readers will find interesting, informative and entertaining." Kevin Murphy, self-help book

Easy to work with

"I was very happy with the services  provided by Clearlingo. Marja was easy to work with, responded quickly to e-mails. The work was done efficiently with attention to detail and was always clear where any corrections/changes had been made. The styling and phrasing suggestions were extremely useful. The end result definitely improved the quality of the article. I would highly recommend Clearlingo and will definitely use their services again." Ingrid, freelance medical writer

Patience, kindness and professionalism

"Thank you, Marja, for being present, enabling the two women’s voices to be heard by way of your kind, strong and gentle guidance. 
As a first time teller of a story, I am grateful that I was able to gain so much insight and knowledge. Thank you for your patience, advice, kindness and professionalism.  As expressed earlier, you were our Limani."
​K Carstens, fiction
Strongly recommend Marja

​"Marja did a splendid job both copy-editing and proofreading my English Key Terms book ahead of its publishing. I was extremely impressed with her attention to detail and her very efficient system for communicating her suggestions and tracking the changes she suggested to make. She is very easy to deal with and her correspondence is always very detailed yet precise, making sure her customers understand everything she wishes to recommend. I strongly recommend Marja and her excellent services without any reservation." Mariam Isaac, English reference book

Highly recommended!

"I was a complete novice. 
However, using Marja's services helped me produce a polished and professional piece of work. The process was made so much easier with her kind and sensitive approach that made me feel confident and at ease with our mutual collaboration. Highly recommended! Mark Camilleri, business self-help book

Improvements appreciated

"Your comments, additions, corrections and suggested improvements are appreciated. You may be turning me from an amateur into a professional." Author, memoir​

Accurate and prompt service

"Thank you for being so easy to work with, accurate with your changes and prompt with your service :) Much appreciated!" Debbie Newman, self-help book

Clear suggestions

"Marja communicated professionally, promptly and efficiently. She made clear suggestions which respected my own style of writing. I was impressed how thorough she was, especially with regards to paragraph and dialogue layout. ​Overall, she did a great job and was pleasant to work with." Author, science-fiction novel​

I feel more confident it can be published

"Marja was extremely thorough in her work and true to her word concerning her proposed timelines for the different stages of editing and proofreading. She did not only edit the text for sentence structure, grammar and spelling but also checked when she suspected an error in actual fact. I had many questions which she answered patiently. I appreciated her opinion on parts of the text which could potentially be libellous or interpreted differently from its intended meaning. I feel more confident that the manuscript can now be published for a wider audience. I can recommend her services wholeheartedly." John Hellemans, travel memoir 

Supportive proofreading and editing

"I would recommend Marja to anybody requiring supportive proofreading and editing."  Tertiary lecturer, paper

Much appreciated

"I particularly appreciated your suggested modifications and the untangling of the occasional mixed constructions. Your assistance in finding and listing the appropriate sources is also very much appreciated." Art F. Verschoor, memoir

Transformed Cinderella

"I do appreciate all the work you have done on the book. You have done everything you said you would do and kept to the times you gave.
I am so impressed by the work you have done on my book. What a difference it makes having everything formatted. You have transformed Cinderella dressed in rags to Cinderella dressed in her ball gown. Thank you so much." Jeanette Cameron, education resource
