Testimonials

Most of my clients are think tanks, academic publishers, business schools, or university departments. My experience includes everything from court judgements, automated learning, and biochemistry, to human rights, food supply chains, and historic religions. 

I also write marketing copy and support independent researchers. If you’re publishing anything from 1,500 words to 150,000 words, I can help.

Jonathan is a great editor. He skilfully polishes drafts without changing the author’s voice, he asks pertinent questions, he pays attention to detail, and he sticks to agreed deadlines. I have worked with him on a range of texts and can highly recommend him without any reservation.

I have relied on Jonathan’s editing services for a number of years now and have always been impressed by his professionalism, attention to detail, and adherence to deadlines. He’s also a pleasure to work with – I highly recommend him.

– Jackie Hanafie, Founder and Principal Consultant, Humankind Advisory

Our work at GPPi often requires a quick turnaround of complex, very technical documents. Jonathan’s consistent delivery of high-quality copy is one of the many reasons we turn to him over and over again. His attention to detail and knack for accessible language make Jonathan integral to our editorial processes – he is also flexible, adaptable and an excellent team player. Whenever we have a complicated piece to tackle, we rest easy knowing that we can rely on Jonathan to provide the attention and care to see it done correctly.

– Amanda Pridmore, Global Public Policy Institute, Berlin

Since 2019, Jonathan has supported me editorially in the production of both book-length and article-length manuscripts, including my last book published in late 2021, for which he is duly acknowledged.

His professional skills – his sense of language (both grammatical and stylistic) and his attention to best practice editorial production detail – are exceptional. Indeed, perhaps one of the best I have worked with in over 45 years of writing and editing three major international journals. 

Moreover, he is highly personable, of absolute integrity and a pleasure to work with.   I am happy to recommend him with respect without reservation.

– Prof. Richard Higgott, Emeritus Professor of International Political Economy, University of Warwick

Jonathan proved immensely valuable as editor of our volume ‘Questioning the Entrepreneurial State’ (Springer, 2022) and worked diligently with me and our 33 different authors from around the globe to provide rapid, helpful, and intellectually insightful comments and text edits to the highest professional standard that any academic or professional writer could wish for. I will certainly commission him again for future work of this kind, and would gladly recommend him!

– Prof. Karl Wennberg, Stockholm School of Economics, Sweden

Jonathan supported us by editing a collection of business articles about digital transformation. His experience, writing style and eye for detail helped us tremendously. He is incredibly reliable, very well organized and a joy to work. As compendiums go, our project was postponed and extended quite a bit and Jonathan was there to support us along the way. We truly could not have done it without him.

– Juliane Waack, Editor & Marketing Manager @ DIGITALL

I’ve had the pleasure of working with Jonathan on several projects. He always showed great flexibility to accommodate our needs, met all agreed deadlines, and delivered high quality work. I gladly recommend him for any copy-editing assignment.
