"Thank you for the work you have done in editing, correcting the English and ensuring consistency in spelling, grammar, punctuation and the hectic work on the footnotes. Only I, from my six years' work on this thesis, can fully appreciate the efforts you have made to put all this into shape. Beyond any doubt, I will remain indebted and grateful for everything you have corrected or added. I am only too aware of the extra help and support which you have given me."

"I am an Editor and Project Manager at Hodder Educational Publishing, working in the FE, IT, Childcare and Teacher Education areas. I have worked with Martin Noble as part of my work with freelance editors and indexers. Martin's work for me over several projects has been of a high standard, and I plan to continue to forward new projects to him. He is very helpful and reliable, two very important features in my work. His skill as an indexer and his knowledge of IT in particular has been of great value to me, as is his cooperation and ability to meet deadlines. I would have no hesitation in recommending him to other publishers, and I have already recommended him to colleagues in my division."

"Copenhagen Peace Research Institute (COPRI) often publishes books in conjunction with Anglo-Saxon publishers, where the author(s) do not have English as their native language, sometimes far from it. We have several times had Mr. Noble do the language editing for such books. He is reliable with deadlines, capable of rendering into readable English manuscripts by authors from several language families while being sensitive to what they want to communicate, has a good grasp of what is technical terminology and what is everyday language and charges moderate honoraria for his services."

"Martin was a very good editor on a very difficult book. He put in hours beyond the call of duty and even managed to maintain his sense of humour. He is also, in my experience, one of the still small number of freelance editors who really has got to grips with using e-mail as an editorial tool."

I had been planning to write my own web page and set myself up; but I am quite a few years behind you and have nothing like your resources or your experience, let alone your graphics. You'll pardon the flattery - I don't think I've ever seen such a dazzling web page on any subject. You managed to get the sunset-sunrise of some alien planet with a golden atmosphere."

found Martin Noble to be conscientious, attentive to my needs and preferences, and highly
professional in terms of meeting deadlines. Martin's attention to detail, and the professional
perspective of his comments, assisted me a great deal in cleaning up my manuscript. The results
speak for themselves... A major US publisher, Quorum (an imprint of the Greenwood Publishing Group),
will publish my book, 5,110 Days in Tokyo and Everything's Hunky-dory: The Marketer's Guide to
Advertising in Japan, in the summer of 2000. More information on my book can be found at:
