Hi, I’m Cindy.

I’m the owner of Shadow Reviews, based in Cape Town.

I provide expert and full-service editing and research support services to postgraduate students and academics.

Conducting research is a complex and time consuming process. By partnering with me, you can remain focused on the subject matter and allow me to work behind the scenes. My goal is to perfect the aspects of your research outputs that fall within my expertise to produce error free, high quality content to improve examination outcomes and acceptance rates for publication.

More about CIndy

I have been referring my Masters and Doctoral students to Cindy since 2018. Cindy is the best academic editor I have worked with, over my more than 15 years of supervising postgraduate students. Her timelines and the quality of her academic editing services are consistently excellent. Most importantly, she truly cares for each and every student that she works with and is strongly committed to their academic success.

Cindy quite literally rescued me, and my PhD. She worked with me as a research assistant on two scoping reviews, where her endless patience, knowledge, and support allowed me to gain confidence and to become ‘unstuck’. Her meticulous attention to detail has facilitated the successful progression of my manuscripts through rigorous journal quality checks and peer review. The extent of support and excellent feedback has far exceeded my expectations and has been instrumental in my journey towards successfully completing my doctoral studies.
