About

We have found that most editing and proofreading ‘services’ do not offer a one on one relationship as they assign each project to only ONE Editor or Proofreader. Busy Bee Editing remains one of the FEW services of its kind in South Africa that GUARANTEES that a team of two will be dedicated to YOUR project from start to finish. We double check and correct your work BEFORE sending it to you.

We do not ask for a deposit or for a payment upfront until the work has been completed to our satisfaction.

We are two seasoned professionals who are both voracious readers and we are passionate about the English language. We GUARANTEE your satisfaction. Brenda was born in South Africa and Hugo in Sri Lanka. Hugo has a degree in Psychology and Drama from the University of Cape Town, South Africa. Brenda is an experienced self-taught personal assistant, secretary and sub-editor.  We both have versatile working histories, which has proved useful for proofreading, editing, and bio writing.
