We do not ask for a deposit or payment upfront until the work has been completed to our satisfaction. At this point, we will email you our invoice with banking details for payment. Upon receiving proof of payment, we will email you the work.
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 are two seasoned professionals who are both voracious readers and 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, legal secretary and sub-editor.

We both have versatile working histories, which have proved helpful for proofreading and editing.
We both love animals and the environment, and we are happily living in a delightful seaside town called Struisbaai in Agulhas, where the Indian and Atlantic oceans meet (the southernmost tip of Africa) in the Western Cape, South Africa with our nergetic little boy, our rescued Yorkie ‘Taffy’ who is ‘the credit manager’ and our recent addition ‘Smokey’ who is the ‘dogs body’.

Don’t forget to send your manuscripts to Brenda and Hugo for proofreading and editing. Here are some examples of book covers that Cliff Kriel designed for Busy Bee for our various authors who have self-published on Amazon.
