What people say about me:
Dolly Nontlantla Kunene, Post-graduate student
— Dr Delia Layton is an amazing editor. I was under pressure when I sent her my work for editing and she offered me guidance with my writing. She made comments and strong suggestions that helped improve my writing. I’d recommend her because she is punctual and clear when it comes to writing and editing.
Kamati Vuyo, MEd science education
— Delia Layton’s service was great, she edited my minor dissertation in October 2019 and her service was professional and she was quick to respond to my emails. In addition, the price she quoted me for editing my minor dissertation was reasonable and my 102 pages minor dissertation was edited within a short period of 2 days and I passed my research with a distinction.
Mothofela Msimanga, Education Academic
— The work was completed on time as promised. The manuscript was thoroughly read and edited with precision. I was happy with the quality of work done and would recommend Dr Delia Layton for language editing of academic manuscripts.
