"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."

Beth Cooper

"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

Does this kindle your interest?

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!

But in shame and secret, the other day I Googled Kindle, Amazon.com’s offering to the world of electronic readers – just to research it, you understand, never to be converted. I needed ammunition to fight the good fight on behalf of book publishers everywhere. And having looked, I’m afraid I could, I just could, be converted!

It appears that the Kindle is the size of your average paperback, but thinner and lighter, and the promise is that you can download any book available on wireless reading devices in less than a minute, for considerably less that it will cost you at your local bookshop. Not only that, but the great newspapers of the world are at your fingertips – you can download the New York Times while you’re waiting for a flight or sitting on a train. The promotional video shows a screen “that reads like real paper”, with pages that turn at the press of a button. You can download a chapter to read free of charge, before you decide to buy. There are more than 300 000 books available, with New York Times bestsellers at $9.99 – tempting? Definitely.

They’re expensive, though, at US$359, and you’d have to save a lot on downloaded books to justify that expense. Which is what I keep telling myself as I rearrange the books on my bookshelf! On the other hand, though, perhaps this is what’s needed to start the electronic generation really reading!

What do you think?
