Hi John: Thank you so much for your thoughtful way of doing business and the fast turn around time throughout the editing process. We so appreciate having received a referral from a colleague about your service and still can't believe that we have finally found a great editor, someone we can call on for all future editing needs. Your editing service was far beyond our expectation, specifically the grammatical details and use of prepositions that only experienced editors like you can catch. Thank you for all of your timely e-mail to follow up and for charging us the promised rate. We have used other services in the past and everyone was charging us left and right for their time. You are so refreshingly different as you were never about the money, but a commitment to understand your client's needs and determination that your client must be completely satisfied before the money topic came up. We are so impressed with how you conduct your business and with such sound principle. Your warmest wishes for Paul may be just the what he needs :) We feel like you are among our great teachers! The best kept secret is now out and we will tell friends, colleagues, and students about your service! Thank you.

My manuscript was long and needed to be edited within 3 - 4 days. Very short time for such a long writing! Given the limited time, one may question the quality of final product. On contrary, my manuscript looked simply great thanks to John's interventions. I was absolutely happy. John did a very neat, fast and clean job; he expanded the vocabulary by using proper words or substituting them for synonyms, rearranging words, clarifying sentences when needed, and keeping consistency. His suggestions regarding the structure and the meaning of some sentences, or their completeness were very helpful, clarifying and explanatory. For example, in some cases, he would say: "this sentence is missing something." Then I searched and figure out what was missing, or when the thought was incomplete. Consistency: Only after John’s editing I figured out that I failed to keep consistency in using names, abbreviations and subheadings. In short, he noticed something that I wasn’t able to do so due to the lengthy of my paper and tiredness. Only after I worked on those suggestions, I came to realize that the job was (finally) done. Overall, John was responsive, cooperative and fast, providing a product on the due time, and as required. He was my first pick when I was still reading five other editors’ charts and contacting some of them, simply because he provided comprehensive information, his resume showing his credentials, experience and professionalism, and good reviews. The price was even modest. Looking forward to work with him again in my future projects.
