Full Stop Learning

The Full Stop Learning course has been developed according to a practical mindset, and is structured to benefit the self-motivated student. One of the major aims of the course is to give second language speakers access to a set of tools that will help them develop their English skills and writing abilities within the context of their working life.

"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".

"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
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

How Do We Work?

  • FULL STOP will take a full brief from you, and discuss with you any unclear aspects of that brief so that we can be sure that your intended meaning has been understood by us.

  • We will ask you for a sample of the copy to be edited.

  • We will also ask for a company style guide, or discuss preferred style with you, and we will adhere to that style.

  • We will discuss deadlines with you, and whether these are realistic or not.

  • We will furnish a quotation for the job within one day of our taking the brief from you.

  • Should you accept our quotation, we will edit the document in MS Word, using the Track Changes function, so that debatable changes can be accepted or rejected by you.

  • Where applicable, we will offer suggestions or comments for you to consider.

  • Most work will be received and submitted via email; however, if you have hard copy to be proofread, we can make arrangements to collect and deliver this copy.
