English-To-Go Ltd’s online resources have been making teachers’ lives easier since 1997, and I have been with them for over 15 years working as a content writer, editor and proofreader.

It is my pleasure to recommend Rachel Ellis as an experienced editor and proofreader. Rachel is an invaluable member of the English-to-go.com editorial team, writing, editing, proofing and publishing ESOL and literacy online resources. She has an extremely sound knowledge of English grammar and syntax and is well-versed in different styles of English writing: literary, academic and general. She is a fast worker and always manages to hit deadlines.
Rachel is not afraid to say if something doesn’t make sense and will then work to ensure that it does. She is cooperative, professional and efficient. She will tighten your sentences, correct your errors and add a sparkle to your text.

Matakana Watercress sells bulk watercress to the wholesale market. We created a website specifically targeting bulk buyers.

Rachel did a fantastic job for us writing the content for our website, she then showed us more magic with her skills. She enabled our website to be seen on the 1^st couple of pages when entered in a search engine, instead of the 20^th page. She made the whole process very easy and I would highly recommend her.

Jenni Finlayson is one of Orewa’s top real estate agents. Jenni wanted some assistance with social media marketing;  I created and updated her social medial profiles.

I am thrilled with the work Rachel did my on updating my website. In particular, my profile was out of date and required a complete make over. She listened to what I wanted to portray, made some great suggestions and then very quickly and efficiently she composed a profile that I was very happy with. 

I also felt I needed to join the Social Media sites to give further exposure to my real estate career. Once again, Rachel came up with some clever designs and concepts and was very proficient in establishing me on those networking sites. I was very pleased with her professional manner and her resourcefulness. 

I am indebted to Rachel for skilfully completing the task I couldn’t do and in a very cost-effective way. She is very cheerful and enthusiastic throughout the process.

Black Earth makes mouth-watering kasundi sauce from their own ingredients grown in the rich peat soils of Omaha. They starting selling at Matakana and we developed their site so customers could find their products all year round.

I found Rachel at Wordright very personable and easy to deal with. She had the flare to make my food product ‘taste’ good on my website with how she wrote and really encompassed everything we were about. Websites and search engines are a foreign language but Rachel was someone we could place our confidence in.

Trailbalzers Northland wanted a brand new look and feel for their Northland based business. We worked with them to create a “fun” information-filled site.

Rachel was able to quickly comprehend the nature of our business using ‘speak’ that was practical yet engaging for the website browser. She explained the psychology around the written word and the need to ‘mix it up’ into everyday language. The result? A website that is vocally interesting whilst still being informative. It talks to all of our customer demographics.

Simple easy process well worth the investment.

Murray Holt Builders wanted a complete makeover for their site and wanted to place more focus on their sustainable, healthy homes.

Hi Rachel, Congratulations, your writing is better than good, it’s aspirational. You have said all the things we want to be.
Regards,
Murray

AA Directions is New Zealand’s top magazine according to readership, with 837,000 readers. The magazine celebrates Kiwi culture. From great places to inspiring people, the magazine explores New Zealand and showcases it in a range of visually stunning and brightly written features. AA Directions is published three times a year.

Rachel has been proofreading AA Directions for the past three years (remotely, with a system that works well) and I’m happy to recommend her to anyone wanting a careful eye cast over their ed material.
She’s thorough, professional and reliable.
We sometimes need last-minute attention and have quirks relating to branding to be considered, but I never get the impression that anything’s a bother to Rachel – she delivers, on time and to a high standard.
