Mary and Christina spent a lot of time getting to know our business and understand our target audience. They presented us with a range of options as to how they could help with our website content which really showed how much they had listened to the brief. As well as writing the content which we’re really happy with, they also advised on how to make the website more user-friendly and consistent.
The Word Sanctum saved us a great deal of time, taking care of our written content and freeing us up to focus on developing the business. They really got on board with our ideas and delivered on time and within budget. With their journalistic backgrounds, we’ll be looking to them when we’re planning our press campaigns.

"The Word Sanctum delivered an excellent and professional job of proofreading and editing content for a publication and website for the project Richmond's First World War. Managed by Richmond Arts Service, the project was a celebration of the borough's contribution to the First World War, and The Word Sanctum offered incredibly helpful suggestions and ideas for ensuring content was accessible, engaging and consistent in tone. They delivered on time and for a very reasonable price. I would certainly recommend them."

"We were at a loss as to how to help our son with his UCAS personal statement when I came across The Word Sanctum quite by chance. With so much going on at this time of year he had struggled to put into words all of his many achievements, work experience and life skills in a clear and cohesive manner. He had created a long and very wordy statement which neither he, nor we, felt represented him in his best light. Having tried many times to re-write it, he just couldn’t see how to proceed. Mary and Christina looked at what he’d written, asked for a few bits of extra information (extremely relevant information which we had totally missed) and came up trumps! We were completely amazed that with just a few changes and additions they created something so fantastic.
The updated statement totally maintained our son’s essential voice and characteristics but just put so much more clearly and concisely. I will add that our son was extremely sceptical when I said that The Word Sanctum could help, but you should have seen his face when he saw what they had done. Total relief! Now he can go back to concentrating on his studies and aim for the university of his dreams. Thank you to The Word Sanctum for an excellent (and very reasonably priced) service which I thoroughly recommend to anyone in the same situation. "

“I didn’t have the time to create our company’s case studies. The Word Sanctum interviewed our clients and wrote compelling accounts of their experience with us – these have already helped secure new business. The whole process was looked after from start to finish and for a very fair price. Even our clients have commented on the professional way the case studies were handled.”

"Working with The Word Sanctum on my personal coaching website was an absolute delight. Mary definitely has a ‘deep dive’ approach to her work. She edited the first draft of my website and went through it with a fine tooth comb, flagging up typos and giving invaluable advice on how to improve the site’s credibility and appeal. The Word Sanctum offers a fantastic service, which I would highly recommend to other companies. "

"Christina edited my daughter's personal statement for her university application. She was keen to make sure she captured the essence of the message we wanted to put across and took time to fully understand our needs and requirements. We gave her a fairly average and disjointed piece of writing and she transformed it into a cohesive, concise and professional personal statement, that still maintained my daughter's unique voice. She then followed up to make sure we were happy, offering to make any further changes if we weren't completely satisfied. We were delighted with the service and highly recommend The Word Sanctum. I wouldn't hesitate to use them again."

"Mary works hard to understand the nuances of our business and therefore the writing she produces for us is always spot on. The content for both our website and social media is on brand and gets turned around quickly. The attention to detail is fantastic."
Nicki Tracey – Marketing Advisor, Syntec Projects Limited
"As a freelance writer, content creator and PR manager, I have worked with Mary at The Word Sanctum on various projects over the years and have always been delighted with her service. She is methodical, accurate and highly efficient, and takes direction really well. She understands the importance of using the correct tone of voice. The proofreading service has been invaluable...I must say, you will never have to worry about the odd wayward apostrophe if Mary is on your team!"

“The Word Sanctum gave our sanity back as they helped my daughter to edit and polish her personal statement for her university application. My daughter submitted a lengthy piece of writing, and Christina ensured that all of her points and thoughts were kept, along with her true voice, whilst editing it to the correct length (she had a lot to say!). Communicating with my daughter throughout, it was a relief to know that a professional eye had taken time to ensure that her efforts were presented professionally, yet still reflecting her own words and thoughts.”
