Testimonials

I shared your evaluation at a session with my Santiago Writers group, then—at their request—sent it as an attachment. All agreed that this was a superb evaluation and wanted you to know that we all learned from it. So it was as if you gave us a master class in editing. Hats off!

I recommend this service: Claire is a highly educated professional who delivers. During this sensitive and intensive process, I have come to see how Claire established her long-time track record for quality.

A good and reliable service! Claire did a great job in editing my master’s thesis and she returned the edited thesis exactly at the agreed date.

Executive Master Student, INSEAD [Institut Européen d’Administration des Affaires/European Institute of Business Administration, Fontainebleau, France]

I would highly recommend this service to others! Claire…was invaluable to me in the editing of my dissertation. At that point, a fresh set of eyes saw things that my eyes, so used to the text, were no longer capable of seeing. I truly appreciate her assistance and expertise. In addition, Claire herself was calm and reassuring, helpful and available, during and after the editing process. I am grateful. Her experienced eye and guidance gave me the impetus I needed to move forward to the next step of this academic process with confidence and hope.

Anne Walsh, Doctor of Ministry candidate

The editing services provided by Claire were over and above my expectations. She provided clarity and strength to my words which advanced my project greatly. I would strongly recommend her services to anyone requiring an editor! Thanks Claire!

Jeremy Chippett, Master of Education candidate

When I decided to publish a book I immediately turned to Claire. Her knowledge of the editing and publishing process is extensive. Claire’s advice and guidance helped me feel confident heading into the publishing process.

Corina Walsh, President, Shift People Development

Claire proofed our book under a very strict deadline. She found errors that only a professional editor could identify. I only wish I had hired her to do copyediting as well.

Dr. Elizabeth Murphy, Faculty of Education, Memorial University

I was fully satisfied with Claire’s services … Claire was clear about the process, content and timing from the beginning. She was totally reliable and even flexible, when I needed to postpone handing in the text a few days later. Still I got the corrected work back even in advance of the agreed date … Claire’s editing helped me to improve the flow of the text a lot especially since English is not my mother language. Working with Claire was a great pleasure and I recommend her to everyone looking for an editor in English. If I had to write another opus ever in my life, Claire will be my editor!!!

Kristina Flügel, Executive Master Student, INSEAD [Institut Européen d’Administration des Affaires/European Institute of Business Administration, Fontainebleau, France]

Your invaluable editing on the article was a great help, as the following reader’s comment indicates: “In reading this much-revised version of the paper I also went back to the previous version and also to my detailed comments on it. The structure of the present version is much clearer in the new version and in my view the essay benefits enormously from the refocussing of the argument.”

Dr. Robin Wood, Department of English, Memorial University (retired)

Claire did a terrific job for us! She researched the bios and promotional
material of other chamber ensembles, found the tone we were looking for, and
turned rough drafts into documents that generated a lot of positive feedback.
I’ve recommended her to others and we’d definitely use her services again.

Dr. Nancy Dahn, School of Music, Memorial University

I was very impressed with how quickly Claire worked, and by virtue of the comments she included in the text, it was clear she had done her fact-checking too. When I sent the material to my producer at the record label, she wrote this in an email response: “Now that’s someone I could get on board with — her grammar is impeccable.” Indeed, the work was first-rate.

Dr. Vernon Regehr, School of Music, Memorial University

Great service, Claire, and I greatly appreciate your thorough review. I will recommend you to others.

Dr. Sue Ann Anstey, Centre for Nursing Studies

Claire was very honest and upfront about everything.
