What the Dragon said about Ripple Copywriting:
“James was a pleasure to work with. He returned his amends promptly and his feedback was both detailed and easy to follow. With James an Old Dragon himself, he understood the School’s unique style-guide and could relate to much of the content — it was great to hear his thoughts on the articles ahead of publication.”
