“Stan worked for me on a number of reports in the area of women’s rights and human rights. I was completely satisfied with his editing, which was thorough, reliable and effective. He improved the readability and layout of the text, clarifying points without changing the meaning, and he was always willing to give advice on points of English grammar and usage. I would have no hesitation in recommending his editing service.”

“After completing a Master’s programme as part of a senior management course, I was keen to maximise the potential of my thesis. Stan Carey was highly recommended to me by one of his clients, who told me that he possessed a very sharp eye for detail.
I found Stan to be extremely accommodating, proactive and someone who demonstrates exceptional attention to detail. His vast editing experience, very firm grasp of grammar, and constructive feedback assisted greatly in fine-tuning my thesis. He made himself available at short notice and provided very helpful insights into thesis structure and layout.
I cannot recommend Stan highly enough as someone who strives to make any written academic submission achieve its potential. I received a very strong 1st class honours grade for my thesis.”

“I enlisted Stan Carey to proofread and sub-edit Irish Vintage Scene, and I always found Stan very helpful and professional. Because our magazine is monthly, time was never on our side and I never had a problem with Stan – he would work unsociable hours to ensure that the magazine’s content was proofed and edited correctly. For the time Stan worked for us we never had an error in the magazine, as he was very thorough. I would highly recommend Stan if you want a professional, fast, and efficient service.”

“We have worked with Stan Carey Editing for several years. Whenever a customer requests proofreading or editing – whether it’s for a website, brochure, cover letter, press release, or advert – Stan’s diligent proofreading ensures that the text we generate for marketing is always correct, which in turn ensures that our customers’ copy is always professional. This, combined with a rapid turnaround time, makes Stan’s editing a service we could not do without.”

“When completing a research thesis, the last thing on your mind is ensuring that the finer grammatical and stylistic issues are the best they possibly can be. I was fortunate that a Google search found Stan, without whom my thesis would have fallen short of the mark. Stan is one of only a handful of professionals that I can say truly has your best interests at heart. He is also patient and flexible, he maintains the integrity of the original content, and lastly he really cares!”

“Stan Carey was first recommended to me while I was completing a Master’s degree in Training and Development. The Dean was to correct my thesis and I knew that getting a professional proofreader was essential.
Stan is simply fantastic, and his expertise in comprehension of the English language and its complicated grammar is outstanding. However, his true skill lies in giving you options, suggestions to improve your text, rather than wanting to change it into his. He will keep the feel, the flow of your writing and just suggest changes to make it clearer, sharper, easier for the reader to understand.
When the thesis was returned the Dean made a special mention of the proofreading – even commending the proofreader, something I have never heard of happening before. Since then Stan has done occasional work for my company, checking ads, presentations and various texts for errors and ambiguity. His critical eye provides us with great peace of mind and ensures that we get our message across in a professional manner. We would strongly recommend him and his editing services to any individual, organisation, or business.”

“Our independent research group, Community Works, has delegated a number of community development reports to Stan Carey for editing. Some reports required a basic proofread for typos, spelling mistakes and grammatical errors. Others needed a more in-depth edit to reduce the word count and to make the text more coherent and effective. All these jobs were done without fuss or delay. Stan’s editing work is of a very high standard and enhances any report we send his way. We will certainly continue our working relationship with him.”

“I unreservedly recommend Stan Carey’s editing service. During the final weeks of my PhD I contacted Stan to edit my 100,000-word PhD thesis, after he was recommended by a colleague at NUI, Galway. Initially, I was worried that an editor might negatively affect my thesis. However, without Stan I would never have made my submission deadline.
Stan’s work is impeccable. He is utterly professional and edited my thesis with extreme precision. Stan’s strengths were: he was able to edit according to my specific needs; he kept to strict deadlines; he was flawless in ensuring consistency of style and terminology; and he ensured correct internal citations. Moreover, he made many suggestions for improving my writing style and syntax, and ensured the high standard that was required for a PhD thesis.
I intend to continue to use Stan’s services in the future, and I wholeheartedly endorse his work. If you need a thesis or piece of writing edited, then have no doubts – Stan is your man!”

“Stan edited a law dissertation and several essays for me. I found his editing a very reliable and efficient service, providing a reassuring review of grammar and punctuation in an unobtrusive way that did not undermine the integrity of the text.”

“I would like to offer my sincerest thanks to you for your care and attention to detail. I think it goes without saying that you have helped to present my work in a manner that would have been impossible for me to achieve on my own. Hopefully we will be in contact again.”
