My husband wrote an autobiography for our grandchildren. I typed it into Word, added pictures, and ran it through several editing and grammar programs.
We proofed it many times and still thought there were errors and repetitive stories throughout the book.
I decided to hire Pencil Writingservices. It was the best decision I made. My only regret was not contacting them sooner. It would have saved us many hours of making incorrect editing changes.
This company is terrific. Their fast response time and availability were impressive.

I am writing this review regarding this pencil writingservices that I had just few days ago.
I was looking for a writer who can be able to helps with my writing project. I informed her regarding my project. This lady writer was so nice and had good manner as well. She was so patient with me she send me her hand writing examples and answering all my questions. It was really sad that she located too far from me at first her area code was (510) so I thought she was located in same area that I am in, but she located in different state and I told her that I was prefer to look for a writer located in same area however I had a such good experience with her.
Thank you for kindness!
Helen

All I can say is LIFESAVERS! I was dreading setting up my table of contents - APA for my final Doctorate project, and did not have the time due to work and family constraints. I needed this to be completed and although we did have a few glitches, they were problem solvers and worked with me every single step of the way. Well worth the cost - which is fairly priced - you will not be disappointed. I will be referring them to friends, family and other students!

Did a wonderful job with editing my PhD dissertation. I needed a lot of help with my writing and the turnaround was faster than I expected. Highly recommend if you need a fast turnaround and excellent work done. Will definitely be using them again for my other writing projects. Thanks.

I'm a writer who writes for a living. Short stories, blog posts, etc. Thus, I felt that my manuscript didn't need much editing. PENCIL WritingServices caught mistakes that I should have noticed and were very professional. Sierra was patient with answering all of my questions and put my mind at ease. She was very accomodating and willing to work with me. If we set a time to discuss the work, she was very punctual and flexible with working around my schedule. They also provided very insightful and helpful commentary helping me to improve as a writer and for that I am very grateful. PENCIL WritingServices did a fantastic job with editing and proofreading my book. Definitely worth the price. I received excellent quality and peace of mind just as they mentioned. It was truly a pleasure working with them. They are the best. I look forward to working with them on another project soon. Thank you.
