Testimonials
“Sally the most gifted editor I have ever worked with. She has an amazing memory, and can take a complicated sentence full of technese and make it so understandable that the information flows into your head without you even noticing. And she brings a particular grace and kindness to everything she does, which makes the editing process so much easier.” —Sue Andrews, technical writer at Reliable Controls
“Sally helps us maintain the voice and tone we’ve developed over the years, ensuring our messaging is crisp, clear, and appropriate for our academic audience. Her fantastic turnaround times make it easier for us to schedule and maintain an active communications calendar.” —Erin Beattie, manager, Marketing + Communications at BCcampus
"I have worked with Sally for six years and have found her to be punctual, dependable, a self-starter, and very organized. She has done everything from updating my website to monitoring my social media pages to creating newsletters and social media posts, handling mailings, brainstorming marketing campaigns, and proofreading manuscripts. She has tackled big projects and small, all the while helping me stay on top of my deadlines. I don't know how I would have managed my writing career without her." —Cora Seton, New York Times + USA Today bestselling author
“Sally has a deft touch as an editor and author mentor. She has a special skill for making your words better once you've written them and at the same time helping you articulate your thoughts better next time. She is amazingly supportive, effective, and efficient. I wish she could edit this post for me... It would be much better. I cannot recommend Sally highly enough.” —Levi Tully, LEED AP, PMP, executive vice president of sales at Reliable Controls
"I’ve known Sally for many years—both in-house and as she transitioned to freelance work. Her editorial expertise is excellent, and she has a real understanding of how to suggest changes without corrupting the author’s voice and intentions. Also greatly appreciated is her adherence to deadlines! She can always be counted on to deliver when promised. Her demeanor is professional and diplomatic—I know a book is in good hands when she takes it on. It’s truly a joy to collaborate with Sally!" —Tamara Shifman, proofreading manager
“Sally helps me be a better writer. She’s an invaluable safety net that allows me to focus on the message and story without worrying about niggly little things like punctuation and grammar. And subject-verb agreement. And serial commas. And run-on sentences. And starting sentences with ‘and’ too many times.” —Jason Finnerty, Brandscaping
“Remember Name that Tune? If I can name that idea in 10 words, Sally can name it in seven. Sally is an excellent editor and writer, a thoughtful and caring work colleague and friend, and an expert at handling any amount of work. I have learned so much from her already, and I continue to be amazed at how she is able to make very good content even better, clearer, more focused.” —Cesar Torralba, technical writer at Reliable Controls
