She is a competent and talented editor who listens to her clients and helps them polish their projects. She has a proven record of meeting deadlines and offering suggestions for both grammar and content. She is also flexible and will go above and beyond when needed. I have been working with her since 2015 and she has been consistent in her quality of work and offered more services as time has passed. She has a variety of experience in editing and education, allowing her to meet anyone's needs.
I've had the great opportunity to work with her several times over the last few weeks on extremely time-sensitive content. She was always quick to offer a realistic timeline that allowed me to meet my deadline and ensure accuracy and clarity in my content. I'm a start up that plans to grow my online content and am happy to have found an editor that is interested in helping me maintain high standards of online content quality control. Her recommendations are precise and consistent.
Not only is her knowledge of grammar top notch, but she's not an intrusive editor. She caught inconsistencies in the timeline of my novel, and with details throughout the work, without trying to change the characters or story at all. Her suggestions were always spot-on, and her turn around time with the novel was very speedy - without her missing details, which is also quite critical in an editor. And she was always quick to respond when I had questions on her edits.
