"Glenys did an absolutely outstanding job on the index for my academic book. She is thoroughly professional and extremely careful in every aspect of her work. I particularly appreciated her attention to te reo Māori and cross-cultural concepts. I hope to work with Glenys again in the future and would recommend her wholeheartedly to writers of both academic and general works."

"I am thoroughly impressed by your careful eye  and appreciative of the additional checking of details you've done. The notes, whether on capitalizations, conceptual domains of Māori knowledge, or extended commentaries, are astonishing in their conscientious precision."
