Testimonials and Kind Words ...
I employed Jan Peters of AbsoluteProof to proofread and edit my first novel - It Never Rained; It Poured which has been published and is now selling on Amazon. She did a great job.
Initially I wasn't sure what to expect when I first approached Jan to help me with my novel; it later turned out to be one of the best decisions I made. She offered plenty of great feedback and ideas during the editing and proofreading process.
She was very approachable and communicative which helped me with my writing. Working with Jan was a positive and satisfying experience. She is very professional, knowledgeable and reliable.
I will be contacting Jan again when my next novel is ready. Dr Okwun Ojah - Medical Doctor and Lawyer

I recently engaged the services of Jan Peters to proof read and edit my first novel.
I found communication from Jan to be not only regular but also very constructive. Even though my novel was quite large in size; Jan had finished and returned the ‘Tracked’ and ‘Final’ copy to me in a timely manner.
She took the time to know who I was and what I was trying to achieve, taking into account that I am vision impaired, she tailored her services and still sends me recommendations and industry information she feels would be beneficial for me.
I have future plans of more sequels and could not imagine going to anyone else for proof reading. It is my personal recommendation that Jan Peters would be an asset as a freelance proof reader and editor with her exceptional services.

" I am very pleased with the work quality produced by Absolute Proof and would strongly recommend it to all professionals and students out there!
Sean - Medical Doctor I used Jan to proof read my assignments. Although I gave a short notice to get my stuff proofread, she was very prompt in her response and ensured she got my assignment across on time. I am extremely happy with her quality of work and the level of support I received - Chaitz - PhD student Some time ago I wrote a series of stories I classified as Historical Erotica.
Friends who read them thought they had merit but I knew they needed editing and because of their sensitive nature I was reluctant to engage a proof reader. My three books sat languishing for more than ten years until I was introduced to Jan Peters who encouraged me to continue writing and put my fears to rest. Fortunately we lived close by and met regularly over coffee to discuss my objectives and literary progress. Jan proof read all of my novels and encouraged me to open my own website Riptornbooks.com At all times Jan was encouraging and constructive taking the time to understand my stories and their historical settings. I would have no hesitation recommending Jan to both aspiring and established authors. As an editor and proof reader, Jan Peters will always be my first and last choice. Victor Lutze – Author RipTorn Books Jan Peters of AbsoluteProof was efficient and true to all proposed deadlines. It was a pleasure doing business with someone of such high integrity. Lorraine Nilon - Author of Your Insight and Awareness Book - Breaking Free From the Chains of Silence Jan Peters from Absoluteproof was kind enough to write the Foreward for my book - as well she proofread and edited to a high standard. I thank her most sincerely for the wonderful conscientious job she made which helped me in publishing my first novel.
Jan said: "The Bond written by Giuseppe Sorbello was placed in my hands to proofread before going to print. It was a large novel, which at first seemed rather daunting. Before the first chapter was completed, I was glued to my office chair, and days went by as I read on, completely capitvated by this wonderful story of strength, courage, tragedy and most of all, Family." It is a 'must read'. Now available on all major online bookstores world-wide (Amazon, Booktopia, Angus&Robertson, Dymocks etc). Thank you so much Jan for your dedication to my work. Highly recommend you to anyone looking for excellence. |
I recently employed Jan to proofread, edit and add comment on my website which I had recently updated.
Jan proved to be an asset to my business, adding valuable comment where needed and also correcting the spelling, grammar and punctuation. I would have no hesitation in recommending her work to anyone wanting an excellent job done. Jan understands what you want, talks about anything that she is not sure of, and most of all keeps in touch with her customers.

TESTIMONIAL FOR JAN PETERS, ABSOLUTEPROOF After investing countless hours mentoring and advising a Chinese author to write an inspiring memoir, I needed a top-notch proof reader to ensure the grammar, punctuation and spelling was correct before sending the work to print. Tom Kwok had an amazing story to tell, and it was my great privilege to be asked to help him produce a published work he could display with pride and offer for sale with confidence. I was able to mentor him to shape and structure his story. I was able to help with the descriptive phrases and with re-wording those occasional phrases that betrayed his ongoing struggle with the English language. But when the work reached final proof-reading stage, I needed a sharp ‘’third-eye’’ to ensure the final product met Tom’s exacting standards. The author was a perfectionist. He had worked tirelessly for several years to produce a memoir that would entertain, educate and inspire readers. He had made a substantial investment of money as well as time. He wasn’t averse to adding to his monetary investment, but he wanted value. He was uncompromising in his demands of service providers. I did considerable research and entertained many quotes before selecting Jan Peters of AbsoluteProof to proof-read ‘’Iron Rice Bowl’’. My choice was a wise one. Jan delivered beyond expectations. Her service was speedy and efficient, and the end result delighted both Tom and I. My business, Rainbow Works, offers mentoring, support and structural editing services to writers, arranges publication, and assists with marketing and distribution of self-published works. To deliver a complete service to my clients, I need a relationship with a proof reader I can count on to deliver accuracy in appropriate time frames and at fair prices. Absolute Proof delivers. I will have no hesitation in engaging Jan Peters again, and I am confident to recommend her to anyone seeking qualify proof-reading services at fair cost.
