“Matthew is a very good trainer who really knows his stuff. Recommended without hesitation.
We asked Matthew to design and deliver an advanced copy-editing training seminar for our publishing team, who come from a mixture of editorial, production and design backgrounds. The material was appropriate and the workshop engaging, with useful anecdotes made to highlight the key points, drawn from his wide industry experience.
As well as positive feedback from the session, we have seen a significant improvement in staff self-confidence and expertise in this area, resulting in fewer errors and less queries being referred upwards, contributing to a more streamlined publishing operation.”
