Client Complaints:
As a service provider I regularly request, and greatly value, feedback from clients in order to improve the service I offer. To date, this feedback has been positive, and I continually strive to provide optimum value and meet clients' needs effectively.
However, should you wish to make a complaint about the service you've received, please get in touch in the first instance, so that we may try to resolve the issue fairly and promptly.
In the unlikely event we cannot reach a satisfactory conclusion, you may wish to refer your complaint to an organization such as the Chartered Institute of Editing and Proofreading at office@ciep.uk, the Society of Authors at info@societyofauthors.org, or the Alliance of Independent Authors at info@allianceindependentauthors.org.
