Get to know our founder
Delilah Nosworthy
Delilah Nosworthy
Proofreader | Copyeditor | Corporate Governance Consultant | SEO
My experience in proofreading is somewhat atypical. I took the scenic route to become a freelance proofreader, amongst several other paths.

Here are just a few of my stops along the way:

I was an executive assistant for many years, and proofreading and copyediting were integral to my roles within the various organisations I worked for. Over the years I was also exposed to corporate governance and developed a passion for the system of rules, practices, and processes by which organisations are directed and controlled.

I completed a BA in Health Sciences and Social Services—specialising in counselling psychology.

I completed a graduate diploma in marketing, a diploma in proofreading, a creative writing course, and courses on becoming an effective company secretary.

I’m a grammar nerd and I love everything about the English language. I enjoy researching how companies are governed and for what purpose. In this way, I ensure that my clients govern their organisations well and abide by the Companies Act and governance frameworks. Another passion of mine is improving the quality and quantity of website traffic to a website or web page through search engine optimisation.

I love my work and thoroughly enjoy working with my team. I leave the website development, design, and digital marketing strategies to my other colleagues. Together, we function like a well-oiled machine.

PRAISE
ImageImageImageImageImageImageImageImage
Writing is integral to my role in the asset management industry and something I have been doing for close to 30 years. Delilah recently edited an article I wrote and I was immensely impressed with the professional way in which she went about it. It was particularly impressive considering the fact that the article was packed with financial market terminology and jargon.
Wikus Furstenberg
Futuregrowth Asset Management
I have worked closely with Delilah over an extensive period of time and can confirm with unwavering confidence that her ability to edit documents is by far a superior skill. Every document she proofreads is checked with the utmost attention to detail as she takes great pride in all the work she delivers.
Marlene Coetzee-George
CEO - Laureus Sport for Good
Professional, prompt, meticulous, and friendly. I would highly recommend their services.
Karin Wilson
Veterinarian - Cantebury Vet Clinic
Delilah is the servicing officer on two Boards I joined in 2020. Coming from an environment of decisions by committees, having minutes not only reflecting the discussions but also the decisions is key. This is even more important in an online environment. I would like to commend Delilah on her professionalism and ability to not only capture what was said but also emphasise the importance of what was said. I have never been in committees where there are rarely queries regarding the minutes, not even typos. The art of minute-taking is a rare skill, which Delilah embraced, and clearly loves it!
Lesley Haddow
University of Cape Town
It has been a pleasure working with Any Time Proofreading. They are contracted to draft and send out notices and agendas for our regular Trustees’ meetings, to sit in and take the minutes of the meetings, and thereafter circulate the final set of minutes. They are meticulous, accurate, and always come up with helpful suggestions to move things along. I cannot recommend them highly enough.
Sheila Camerer
Chair, Board of Trustees, Cape Town City Ballet Endowment Trust
It’s my great pleasure to share with you my experience with Any Time Proofreading to date. We contracted them to do a major website rebuild, which they did without any downtime, in accordance with their brief and with their own valuable input. Nic and Delilah are awesome to work with, their technical knowledge of all things social media-related and their friendly, professional attitude has made my job a pleasure in turn. There are no small-print catches either – their contract is fair and it protects our company’s ownership rights of all our social media platforms. They also respond promptly to our requests for info or guidance.
Ingrid Olivier
Keringa-Petwings
ATP's services are absolutely amazing in terms of phenomenal attention to detail, quick response at literally all hours of the day, and adhering to timelines all-year-round. Delilah has capably assisted us with a high level of corporate governance assistance, which has included planning ahead and setting up of agenda packs, engagement with senior management and board members, policy-drafting, minute-taking, proofreading and copyediting of executive documents. We have also made great use of ATP's IT support, which includes web development, website maintenance, SEO, and digital marketing.
Mandla Moyo
CEO - Sports Science Institute of South Africa
I have worked closely with both Nic and Delilah Nosworthy for over 3 years. Their dedication to their work is exemplary, every task given to them is completed to perfection. They have worked with me in my role as Chairperson of Cape Town City Ballet in many different capacities. This includes corporate structure, running all the administration of Friends of Cape Town City Ballet, putting new governance systems into place, and taking the minutes of all our meetings (which are always recorded and transcribed without a single correction or mistake). They’ve also assisted with the content curation and delivery of our monthly digital newsletter and helped us with membership certificate designs for all new Friends members. The list is endless. They are both so versatile that no task is too difficult for them. I will certainly contact them for any future administrative or digital tasks but their expertise covers far more than just that. Whatever I ask of them they just carry out to my entire satisfaction. I can only highly recommend them and can assure you that once you have worked with them you will never want to work with anyone else.
