"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

Blunders

Written by Andrew Miller

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?

Whatever the cause, here are two prime examples of blunders that should never have hit the pages of so-called prestigious newspapers...

Right off??

Obviously neither the writer nor the subeditor knows the difference between right and write – a prime example of a homophone (two words that sound the same but are spelled differently).

Plural verbs go with plural nouns... surely?

No passwords … was compromised in these attacks. Again, neither the writer nor the editor seems to understand that plural verbs should be used with plural nouns....
