"Axius Publishing has made use of Full Stop’s services for the past five years. It is a pleasure to work with someone as professional and committed as Maureen Miller. For her, language really does matter, right down to the last comma, colon or full stop.
It is rare to find someone these days who not only has the knowledge, but is also passionate about the correct use of language. Quality editorial is a primary requirement for all our publications and it is a pleasure to come across, and work with, someone of Maureen’s calibre. She always adds enormous value to any piece of writing".
Sheenagh Levy
CEO Axius Publishing
"I have had the pleasure of having my work sub-edited by Maureen Miller while contributing to Sawubona magazine.
She has also been a kind and wise mentor to me since my foray into the world of freelancing.
A thorough professional with a range of skills, she is the epitome of excellence."
Beth Cooper
Freelance writer
"Maureen is a willing and hard worker who gives her all to provide a top-class service to her clients."
Daphne Burger
Owner, Lexinfo
"I have hired Maureen to do editing work and value her professional services and good on-the-job communication.
Highly recommended."
Sharon Davis
Freelance writer
"Maureen is one of those fabulous editors who are able to fix copy with tact and objectivity.
She has a supportive non-judgemental personality and sports a decidedly positive approach to life.
I can recommend Maureen without reservation."
Tess Fairweather
Joint owner at DogTail Inc
"Maureen’s attention to detail when proofreading our stories and articles is absolutely refreshing. She also thinks 'laterally', which adds enormous value since I can count on her to point out inaccuracies or misleading paragraphs that otherwise would have gone unnoticed. I love her honesty and transparency and she’s not shy to tell me when her working hours stop – I respect that! Her word is her bond and she has never disappointed me on delivering her work within the time frame promised and at the quality standards which exceed my expectations."
Roland Hein
MD, Performance Enhancement & Rewards
"Maureen has been the sub-editor of Sawubona magazine since May 2007. She is an extremely valuable and dedicated part of a small team that ensures the magazine’s consistency and quality. Her “beady” eye, attention to detail and technical editing skills are unmatched.
She is a pleasure to work with and her reliability and willingness to do more than is required of her ensures the smooth flow of a magazine with tight monthly deadlines."
Mario d’Offizi
Assistant Editor, Sawubona

I have been outnumbered! I give up – I cannot for the life of me think up and remember one more pin number or password that is alphanumeric and that by some obscure elaw must contain more than eight letters or numbers or signs that in the normal scheme of things no person in his right mind would use on a daily basis in an address or reference. I am tired of having to dream up a password that is different from the dozens that I'm already drowning in, to write it down and commit it to memory, then to chew up and swallow or burn the paper, never to divulge the password to another living soul! I’m tired of using the wrong password for the right egroup, or website, or bank account, or online order, only to have to request a new password from the authority concerned, which password sometimes takes up to a day to be granted.

I am a book lover. Always have been, always will be. The smell of a new book, the soft pages turning, the rows on my bookshelves, all confirm that I can pick up a book at any time and be comforted and intrigued, or can escape from whatever life is chucking at me. So the thought of yet another electronic device in my life, this time to replace my beloved bookshelf companions of years, was enough to send me straight to bed, clutching my latest read firmly to my bosom. Quelle horreur!

My penpal, editor Gerhard Burger, saw this classic on a rugby website recently ... "The final of the 2005 7s Rugby World Cup was one of the most exciting matches I have ever seen, with Fiji beating New Zealand in a coat hanger!" Don't you love it?

The standards of newspaper writing and subediting are plummeting daily, and errors appear on almost every page – where are the good writers and subeditors today? It appears that there are no longer training facilities run by the major daily publications, many experienced journalists have gone the freelance route or are now seen as too expensive to employ, and young people entering the industry simply don’t read – enough to produce good and careful work, anyway. Surely the electronic age of computer-speak and texting has a lot to do with it as well?

Communication is fundamental to life itself. From birth to death, we all communicate every day, be it through speech, the written word, body language, eye contact or electronically. But it is only fairly recently that business has started to realise that communication is its lifeblood; business survival depends today on two-way communication, both to and from all stakeholders.

Newspaper columns in South Africa are becoming increasingly badly written, with little obvious subediting before the papers hit the streets. And as for headlines – many would be laughable if they were not tragic. But tragic to whom? One man's food is another's poison ...
