Working with Shelby was fantastic! She was communicative and transparent from day one, and her feedback was always thoughtful and on point. What really stood out was her collaborative spirit—she didn’t just make changes, she walked me through the pros and cons so we could make the best decisions together. Her work seriously elevated the book, and I know my readers notice. If you’re looking for a copy editor who truly cares about your project, she’s the one.

I had the pleasure of working with Shelby on the English version of a qualitative research report Integration of Asylum Beneficiaries in the Czech Republic. Shelby was very helpful and I really appreciated how she showed empathy to the subject while being very professional and accurate about the form. I will definitely seek her help again!

I am a person who is willing to apply for a master’s degree in the US. At first, I faced some barriers because of a statement of purpose and a personal statement…Based on her comments, I could fix my essays and successfully applied for a master’s degree…Also, I could improve my english writing skills based on her comments. She left comments like ‘In this case, 000 is a more proper way to express your thoughts’ … Even though I improve my english skills, I will request proofread again with Shelby Harbour. Jeon Ujin
