A recent project involved copy editing this corporate magazine for Bulldog Abrasives (see my name on page 5!). I worked on it from inception, receiving and editing articles and advertorial items on a daily or weekly basis, working with the writing team. After this was completed I proofread the final draft before publication.

“Without Gaynor Paynter, who runs her business Typewrite Transcription and Editing in Johannesburg, I would never have met the deadlines to deliver the manuscript. Gaynor typed the first draft of the manuscript – yes, the first version of this book was written in longhand – and she and her colleagues typed it up, and did the first phase of editing and proofreading. She really was a trooper, and a million thanks to her.”
