What our Clients Say

The best way to judge the quality of our work, and our commitment to our clients, is to read what they have to say.

*************************************************************

Thank you Anthea for your very professional presentation and approach (as usual). Your seminars added real value to our business Expo, providing participants with practical and indispensable information they could use immediately in their businesses. The feedback from participants was excellent.

Maroondah City Council has engaged the services of Anthea Bibby, from Write it riTe, on a number of occasions over the past four years… to assist the Business Development team in the area of editing and proofreading, and, most recently,… to provide a number of training sessions for micro and home-based businesses.

On all occasions… she has been extremely professional, organised and has the enviable ability of always delivering a high quality product within set timelines.

It has also been refreshing to deal with a person who is not only able to clearly interpret the needs of the organisation or target audience, but is also able to add considerable value to any project via her own input and experience.

Write it riTe worked with us to review some existing documentation and develop a more concise and sharper document. The final result was outstanding, with numerous positive comments received across the broad spectrum of existing members. Most importantly, there has been an increase in new members. Write it riTe certainly helped Fire Protection Association Australia to get it right.

The Kenworth Drivers Handbook which you proofread is now in circulation throughout the continent.

Management and myself are very impressed by the way in which you read and marked our manuscript and found so many errors, after numerous attempts to proof it ourselves internally.

The time taken in marking the work was excellent. Grammar and punctuation were also if a very high standard. We all know how long it takes to read and understand the content of the information.

I have no hesitation in using your service in the future, as I plan to do for the next major update.

I find there is nothing more unprofessional or irritating than reading text that is littered with grammatical or spelling mistakes or just bad syntax. I always think that if the written communication is second-rate, then the subject, product, or service in question is probably second-rate too. First impressions are lasting impressions.

When I wrote a 64-page booklet recently on gearing shares and commercial property, I was rather pleased with the draft result. However, I thought it prudent to have it professionally proofread before printing, so I contacted Anthea Bibby to have her examine it. To my amazement, I discovered that it was littered with errors.

I am certainly glad that Anthea read and corrected the draft before I had it printed. I would strongly urge anyone to have their writings professionally proofread before printing, because, as I have discovered, it is almost impossible to accurately proof-read one’s own written material.

Anthea’s services were very professional, efficient, friendly and cost-effective and I wouldn’t hesitate to use her services in future or to recommend her to anyone.

Since 1996, AFAC has developed over 50 national products to support the learning and development of fire and land management personnel and the training of industry in fire emergency response. Both of these initiatives are a significant achievement for the Council and can be attributed to the work of Anthea Bibby.

Anthea worked ..with a team of writers to professionally edit all of the national learning products….This position required excellent editing skills and outstanding oral and written communication skills. Anthea far surpassed our expectations as a professional editor. Few individuals could take on the scope of this project.

Her work on the AFAC products has ensured that the language and style across all of the products is consistent and that any variation is kept to a minimum.

AFAC was awarded the prestigious Australian (newspaper’s) Award for Excellence in Educational Publishing. Anthea Bibby played a key role in AFAC’s achievement of this award…

Write it riTe has been associated with our company for several years, proofreading, editing or writing documents and letters, and advising on special material. Her attention to detail and "outside” perspective ensure that the final product is always of a top professional standard.

When co-writing with Anthea Bibby, my experience has been that she has a rare ability to intuitively pick the exact intent of what I have been attempting to communicate. This is extremely helpful and reassuring. I therefore call Anthea the ‘Word Catcher’

Wanted to write and say how thrilled I am with all the great work you have done recently in assisting me to put together my Profile; Products & Services sheet plus promotional material for presentations and website.

It’s been so easy working with you – you seem to know exactly what I need after just a brief conversation. I have found little to amend once your first draft comes through and that saves me heaps of valuable time ... and money!

Everyone that I have referred to you has also been extremely impressed with your level of personal service, professionalism and approachable manner.

I look forward to continuing our work together as my business grows and will continue to refer you to prospective happy clients.

With kindest regards,

Your independent perspective and probing questions crystalised my thoughts and helped me clarify my explanations. This made the final material clearer, more concise and more effective. Your professional, flexible approach to the process was also much appreciated.

The whole process has confirmed my belief in the value of putting the time into "getting it right", and in the importance of accessing skilled outside help. In that regard, your assistance has been invaluable and is definitely reflected in the great success of the product.

Late last year l decided to expand my business and look for potential growth. Whilst l am extremely confident in my abilities as a Speaker & Motivator, I was finding it hard to describe in my brochures the exact message l wanted to convey.

I was recommended to use the services of Anthea Bibby from Write it riTe and instantly upon our meeting knew it was the perfect decision. Anthea listened and helped me convey the message l wanted. More than that, she has given me many ideas l would not have thought of myself, she has been a breeze to work with and is extremely talented.

The real proof is always in the numbers and my business started to increase as soon as the new brochures went out.

Anthea is professional, has incredibly high standards and I truly believe this is a service that too few small businesses actually utilise.

With your help, we now have a cohesive, professional and satisfying product which has been reflected in the public response to the program.

I found your editing to be accurate and perceptive, and we greatly appreciated the immediate attention considering our very short time frame. It was a pleasure to work with you.
