“Miriam Yorks read through my children's picture book, The Pajamas of My Dreams, and provided me with direction towards keeping the relatively simple text consistent.  She offered clear and concise editing corrections that still left my writing voice evident in the text.   She is honest and pragmatic in her approach to editing, thus easy to work with.”  -  ​Laurie Collins . Author . Pajamas of My Dreams

“Miriam has been proofreading our annual Celtics Media Guide for the past seven years.  She is an astute proofreader with a meticulous eagle eye for detail.  She is responsive, as well as responsible, efficient and precise.  She assists with grammar, narrative and consistency, from comma … to comment … to content.  She is low maintenance and a joy to work with."   -  Brian Olive. Media Relations. Boston Celtics

“As Goof Proof states ' ... don’t trust just anyone with your final project'!  Before I send any completed project to print, you can bet that Ms. Goof Proof sees it last.  Distributing your final product with errors only makes you look bad!  Miriam is the VERY BEST at catching everything!  She is a job savior!"  -  Connie Kelly . Graphic Designer

“I just recently started working with Goof Proof, and am amazed at the numbers of errors that Miriam has found.  I am a sports reporter and my work must be picture perfect.  We are working toward getting my website and content 'beyond reasonable expectations', and am confident Miriam will get it done.  She has come highly recommended, and is the angel that my businesses have been waiting for.  #Blessed.”  -  ​Travis Singleton . The Sneaker Reporter . The Black Athlete

“I don’t know what I’d do without Miriam.  I thought that my work product was pretty clean, but she made it sparkle."  - 

“We rely on Miriam’s grammatical expertise, but even more so for suggestions on improving style and presentation.  Goof Proof makes sure everything is as clear as can be, and that there are no inconsistencies.  She is an excellent copy editor in the finest professional sense of that term.  She goes beyond simple proofreading and makes excellent suggestions regarding use and appropriateness.  She is dedicated to her profession, striving to deliver the best product possible." -  Julie Schuster, J.D., President. U.S. Satellite Laboratory .

“I had a huge project for the American Bar Association that involved compiling photographs, resumes and materials for more than 100 speakers at an annual conference.  Miriam took on the entire job – getting in the materials, filling in gaps and blanks in the data, correcting errors and omissions, making it all look great.  Simultaneously, Miriam is a  'take charge' person, and also great fun to work with.”  -  Forrest Milder, Esq. . Boston MA

“I’ve worked with Miriam Yorks over many years to proofread a variety of different types of professional documents.  I pride myself on having my work products read with no imperfections and I owe the quality of these results to Miriam’s impeccable eye.  Miriam has an uncanny and keen sophistication to catch any and all “misses” and turn them into a perfect read.  There is no one better!”  -

"Goof Proof improved our Business Plan.  Miriam cleaned up all the grammar and also helped us present everything in a much more cogent and understandable way.  She is responsive and responsible.  When she says it’ll get done, it’ll get done."  -  Lillian S. . Louisville KY (confidential due to nature of Business Plan) . Linda G. . Sharon MA (confidential due to nature of Business Plan)

“For the past five years, Miriam has been working on our website, brochures and emails.  She has created templates for future emails and alerts.  If she has one fault when it comes to proofreading, it is that she is too particular and the ultimate perfectionist.  Is that anything to complain about?"  -  ​Dudley Darling . General Manager . Juniper Hill Golf Course

"We would like to thank Miriam for the outstanding job that she did on our Reagle Players Playbill." -
