Kind words
What clients have said.
I really appreciate the wonderful work and professionalism of Critical Hit Proof Reading. Mallory has helped me with a wide range of projects in my Master of Divinity program. Critical Hit proof reading with their attention to detail has helped me very much. They were especially helpful with Turabian formatting that meets the standards of my institution. The proofreading has been incredibly helpful and has elevated my scores.
Kind, professional, swift, excellent pricing and customer service. Mallory helped my husband tremendously with his master level papers. She knows her stuff. Highly recommend!!
I was looking for someone to proofread an Adult Activity Book and was referred to Mallory. She was super fast and helpful! So worth it! If you need someone to proofread, definitely check her out!
I recently used Critical HIT Proofreading for the launch of my first ever eBook. I could not have been happier with the process. Mallory edited my eBook faster than the allotted timeframe, with frequent status updates. I now have the peace of mind to publish my eBook knowing it’s been properly edited and proofread. I 10/10 recommend and look forward to having all my work checked here in the future.
