“Collaborating with Tom has been a great experience. He is pragmatic, solutions focused and has a keen eye for detail – the perfect recipe for a successfully managed project!”
— Sam Brierley, Project Manager, Cambridge Learning for Schools
“Tom managed the requirement capture, drafting and publication of curriculum workbooks at short notice and with a challenging timeline. In spite of this, he has delivered a magnificent publication for the children and at a very competitive price point. I would have no reservation in using his services again, or indeed, in recommending him. A pleasure to work with.”
— Richard Brent, Bursar, St Faith's Independent School, Cambridge
“Tom has been an integral part of my freelance team on a particularly demanding and intensive project delivering online Masters programmes for a UK university. His professionalism, attention to detail, timeliness and thoughtful comments and suggestions have ensured that we have delivered a great product to our client. I don’t hesitate to recommend him.”
— Carly Linghorn, Content Development Editor, Pearson
“Tom worked as a project manager on one of our more complex English language series and was incredibly patient and supportive throughout. He dealt admirably with complex and detailed changes and the project significantly benefitted from his involvement. It was a pleasure working with Tom and I would happily do so again.”
— Cathryn Freear, Project Co-ordinator, Cambridge University Press
“ORP transformed a large amount of poorly translated, technical text into bright, crisp and accessible web copy, fulfilling our brief to a very high editorial standard and for a competitive price. Great to work with someone so professional and considerate to our requirements.”
— Andrew Conroy, Director, Vohm Ltd
“I was impressed with Tom’s work as a proofreader on two books from our Selected Tales from Chaucer series. The work required careful checking of the original Middle English text as well as the accompanying notes, and Tom did a very thorough job within the agreed timetable, including clear handover notes which helped ensure consistency of style across the series as a whole.”
— Tom Parker, Project Co-ordinator, Cambridge Learning for Schools
“Thanks for being the most sympathetic, nice and helpful editor I have come across! I’d love to be able to work again with you – it was a pleasure!”
— Elizabeth Whittome, Author, International A Level English Literature Coursebook (CUP)
“There was never a feeling of pressure – on the contrary, the feeling was extremely collaborative and supportive. What more would you want from an editor!”
— Patrick Creamer, Author, International A Level English Language Teacher's Resource (CUP)
“I’ve had the pleasure of working with Tom as my copy-editor on six GCSE History books so far, and I have been deeply impressed by his attention to detail, accuracy and ability to pick up new styles and requirements quickly. I would thoroughly recommend him and look forward to working on many more books with him myself.”
— Cally Harris, Freelance Project Manager, Pearson
“His support to the author was excellent and he ensured he advised her throughout the writing stages by offering constructive feedback as well as valuable suggestions to help develop the content. His handovers were always on time, clear and thorough and he was very communicative throughout the process.”
— Laura Collins, Senior Project Co-ordinator, Cambridge University Press
“I consider myself very, very lucky to have had your guidance and support. I’m sure it wouldn’t have been as easy to write without that!”
— Margaret Cooze, Author, International Approaches to Teaching & Learning: English Language (CUP)
“Tom is amazing to work with and adds substantial value to any task he is involved in. He has never failed to meet incredibly tight deadlines (across multiple parallel projects) while always maintaining the absolute highest standard of work and never missing a detail. He is equally apt at completing copy-edits to the letter of a brief, providing feedback and insightful suggestions if requested. Tom is a copy-editing paragon!”
— Nick Clark, Content Producer, Pearson
“Tom contributed greatly in the copy-editing of my PhD thesis in urban anthropology. His input was always well thought through and accurate, while at the same time respecting my own style and line of thought. I can definitely recommend him!”
— Dr Vania Ludmilia, Ruprecht-Karl University of Heidelberg
“Un bon traducteur fait une traduction “literal”; un très bon traducteur sait jouer avec les mots et les expressions afin de donner un sens ‘in English’ aux messages que l’on souhaite transmettre; Tom est un très, très bon traducteur ... et, en plus, il est rapide!! Bravo, Tom. You are The Best!”
— Jeremy Dufour, MeloDuende Guitars, France
