"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."

"I have hired Maureen to do editing work and value her professional services and good on-the-job communication.
Highly recommended."
Sharon Davis

"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."

Published in 1995, The Reader by German Bernhard Schlink is a Holocaust novel that draws on the inability of today’s youth, German and otherwise, to fully appreciate the horrors of the war years and to understand the responsibility 20 years later for the deaths of many people.

New Oxford Dictionary for Writers and Editors The New Oxford Dictionary for Writers and Editors A good dictionary is an indispensable tool for anyone involved in writing or editing of any kind. But after you have your first hefty tome sitting on your desk, your reference book library needs to expand; as soon as you can afford it, I would heartily recommend that your next purchase is the New Oxford Dictionary for Writers and Editors.

Review Globalisation and its discontents So everyone goes on and on about globalization, but, to be honest, I've seldom heard a decent, easy to follow articulation about what is so bad, why the phenomenon screws up the development of the world, and perhaps most important of all, what can be done to sort it out. Joseph E Stiglitz is an academic economist. He was part of Bill Clinton's economic advisory team and he served as the chief economist at the World Bank. In Globalization and its Discontents he explains the mechanics of how the global financial sector, spearheaded by the US Treasury and the International Monetary Fund (IMF) have ripped off developing economies with wrong headed, market fundamentalist 'solutions' that are, at the very best, ill suited to emerging societies, and, at the worst, reveal the slick ability of Western money men to pull billions out of these economies, while leaving the citizens with the bill. |
