Biography

Marion Metz was hired to proofread and edit my recently published book,  "A Touch of Madness". 
Marion did an excellent job of proofreading and correcting all the typos  and mistakes made when writing this book. I have no hesitation in  recommending her and the service she provides. 
Marion met all the time lines agreed to, and delivered the completed  manuscript on the due date, she has a very pleasant personality, and was  extremely good to work with.

Every writer needs that one "go to" person they  know  will read their words and give them honest  feedback - Marion Metz is my "go to" person! Not only does she  make all the structural and grammatical corrections, she has the ability to enhance the topic with her editing  suggestions. 
Marion is everything a true professional copy-  editing &  proofreading partner should be and  more; she is  detailed oriented, on-time or early  with your deliverable and she truly cares about  your work as much as you do! 
I highly recommend Marion Metz to anyone looking for copy-editing & proofreading services. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Marion provided an essential proof-reading service for the Golden Bay Writers' Group short story collection. She highlighted inconsistencies within stories and corrected spelling and grammatical errors that had not been picked up by others. Additionally, she made some helpful suggestions for rephrasing to improve flow, whilst never inhibiting the author's writing style. Thank you!

Marion’s attention to detail was excellent. She picked up mistakes that others had missed and offered logical explanations for suggested changes. She preserved style and thank goodness she enjoyed the content! 
I’m about to ask her to work with us again!

​History Book

It is our pleasure to provide a reference for the fabulous computer skills and professionalism of Ms Marion Metz who carried out the complete typing, scanning of many photographs, layout and proof reading of our 67 page book “Shipwrecks Bluff Area 1845 – 1920”. Marion showed great flair in this work and used initiative where required. She was a diligent worker and meticulously organised in her work ethic.
The book was such a success, it went to a re-print within a month and we received excellent feedback from readers for the book presentation, layout and ease of reading.

I had a great experience working with Marion Metz. I was in need of fast editing services, because a few deadlines were closing in quick. Marion, came to my rescue.
Her style made it easy for me to make the changes I needed to make. This meant the grammar police did not need to arm themselves with judgements, and my spelling didn’t send off any ‘stupid’ alarms.
Marion has completed three editing projects for me and I have more projects lining up for her sharp eyes and grammar skills.
If you have written anything, or plan to write anything, it is always wise to have a professional look it over before you share your wisdom. Do yourself a favor and hire Marion to edit your work, so your readers can enjoy the garden of your intellect without weeding through the chaos of your thoughts.

I can't wait for Marion to edit my next book!!

"When it comes to editing my stories, I really suck at it. That's why I was so grateful to Marion Metz for helping me by proof-reading a short excerpt of a novel I was writing. Not only did she show attention to detail as she caught grammar mistakes I overlooked, but she also reworded phrases, which made the story as a whole easier to understand. Furthermore, she allowed me freedom to have the final saying on my piece. If I for some reason disagreed with her suggestion, I was able to decline it. Finally, she did all of this in a timely fashion. If you're looking for an editor who is dependable, responsible, and has a great sense of the English language, I recommended Marion."

— Iana McAllister (Aspiring Author)

"Marion did a fantastic job proofreading the first four chapters of my manuscript, giving me very useful suggestions.
Would love to work with her again!"
