“I was commissioned to write three ‘provocative pieces’ for a university textbook on psychology. The pieces were: Obesity, Suicide and Transgender. Obviously I was concerned that I would be subject to politically correct pushback which might impair the factual nature of the messages I was trying to convey. The subeditor – Erin O’Dwyer – did nothing of the sort. Erin carefully reviewed and improved my prose, and went above and beyond in suggesting useful links that I had missed. After Erin had been through my pieces, they were vastly better than the original. I would welcome the opportunity to work with Erin again and I strongly commend her talents to you.”
– Emeritus Professor Felicity Allen, Charles Darwin University
“During the final stages of my PhD candidature, Erin has been an incredible asset to my work. Her precision and eye for detail has given me peace of mind upon submission. Erin’s engagement with my thesis went beyond her expert work in formatting and grammatical coherence, which has no doubt has yielded a stronger submission. Endeavouring to complete a PhD is a taxing thing, especially on the tail end; I have been so grateful for Erin’s expertise, time and flexibility around my own deadlines in such a timely fashion. I cannot recommend Erin more and hope to have the opportunity to work with her again in the future.”
– Amy Wright, PhD candidate, Flinders University

“I cannot recommend Erin more highly as an editor for your PhD thesis. Erin’s editing was extremely detailed and picked up a number of grammatical and formatting errors that had been missed, even after multiple reads! Erin provided professional and interactive support for my thesis and went over and above what I expected, providing detailed commentary to support the process. Erin delivered my thesis on time for submission. Thanks Erin!”
