We have been working with Die Leserei for several years on various digital and printed products. We value Anna Dätwyler’s deadline compliance, her accuracy, and her sincere transparency. She questions us and keeps a close eye on us. This helps us to position ourselves also on a linguistic level – and we can even deal with gender issues in an elegant, efficient, and nearly invisible way.
Anna Dätwyler is an excellent proofreader, very precise, and extremely critical. She spots EVERYTHING. What I really appreciate is the fact that she takes the context into consideration, looking beyond the horizon of the “normal proofreading”, questioning things and coming up with valid suggestions. I can warmly recommend her services.
For years now, working together with Anna Dätwyler has been professional and friendly. I can always rely on her to proofread and edit our texts carefully, to make sure they are reader-friendly and tailor-made for our audience.
Congratulations from the bottom of my heart for ten years of Die Leserei: ten years of love for language, thoroughness, intelligence, accuracy (and also for deliberate imperfection). Thank you for your wit, your skill, and your wonderfully subtle way of accompanying texts – and people.
Thorough, reliable, thoughtful. These are just some of the reasons for working with Die Leserei. I am extremely pleased with the editing and proofreading of our technical texts and am very happy to recommend Die Leserei.
Our work with Anna Dätwyler is the link in a chain that makes our final product, the GasseZiitig, into what it stands for and what our readers have appreciated for years now. Her view from the outside and her involvement in both content and style are a valuable addition to our own point of view.
Thank you for your help. I can finally publish my book and it is well edited and proofread. I am looking forward to our next collaboration.
Anna Dätwyler might not be an economist, but our close collaboration during the copy-editing process for my publication on practical business management was extremely inspiring for me as the author. Her excellent linguistic competence, together with her fine sense for the nuances in the wording, set her apart.
As a copywriting professional, I really do not like anybody meddling with my work. But after writing the texts and even after several proofreadings, there is always the risk of not spotting some of the slips of the pen. But I cannot afford to become numbed by routine. That is why I have been trusting Anna Dätwyler for as long as Die Leserei has existed. What I value most of all is the respect Anna Dätwyler shows towards my work.
Anna Dätwyler was the perfect proofreader/editor for my book project. With her insistence and her critical questions, she always managed to make sure that my wording was even more accurate. I always felt in the best professional hands and she encouraged me to achieve more. She motivated me to improve my style so that it would touch the readers.
We greatly appreciate the uncomplicated and professional cooperation with Anna Dätwyler. She knows how to empathise with the content of the articles and at the same time preserve the writer’s voice. She ensures that the texts are not only corrected but also improved in terms of content. Many thanks for the excellent work, it’s always a pleasure!
The famous “view from the outside” is absolutely necessary for a successful finish to a text, no matter how good – be it an article in a magazine, a contribution to a report, or an entire book. It was precisely this critical, carefully reasoned, and factually sound view that Anna Dätwyler provided me with in her highly professional editing and proofreading work – and thus made me and my clients happy. Thank you so much!
Die Leserei is a great place to go to: texts are always delivered on time, free of any errors and with the necessary polish to make sure the articles are perfectly readable by their target audience. And the icing on the cake: Anna Dätwyler is always there for me if I have any questions. Thank you so much for all this!
