KOHLER Communications(Editing/English Instruction)

Thanks, Danielle. I believe writing a book about how one's ancestors have been inspirational is a great idea, and I hope that you continue to develop it. I enjoyed helping you reach for your writing goals and look forward to doing so again in the future.

That's high praise coming from an award-winning and Pulitzer Prize nominated journalist. Thank you. I’m thrilled to have been granted the opportunity to edit your adventurous stories, my second memoir editing experience. I loved not only fixing grammatical errors but pointing out all sorts of word choice and style decisions that took the manuscript to another level. During the proofreading stage, it was a joy to see that nearly all of my suggestions had been implemented, and it was an honor to work with you on every aspect of your book, including choosing the perfect cover! I’m looking forward to seeing American Oz available at bookstores in just a few weeks! Thanks again for this wonderful and memorable experience.

Thank you, Kelly. I found your dissertation on how social media use has impacted government agency transparency an interesting read. It was a pleasure to edit it for you.

I edited Nadine’s 31,000 word (124 pages) dissertation. While I appreciate her saying I was a great editor, I don’t feel her rating accurately reflects the service I provided or even how she viewed my services. When I asked her about the four-star rating, she told me that she never gives five stars because “nobody is perfect.” I find that an odd and disappointing practice. She told me before I was even completely finished editing the manuscript that she was recommending me to other students at her university and showed me a text her professor sent that said my comments were “very good.” In fact, that professor will be calling me about serving other students at the university, which I am very grateful for. So Nadine actually is easily among my best supporters for helping acquiring new academic clients. I just wonder why none of that was mentioned. Incidentally, regarding the suggestion: When requested, I did edit the tables and references but as a policy, I do it only upon request because some clients don't want the addition expense (I charge an hourly rate--not a flat fee.). I am glad the rest of my clients have viewed 5 stars as outstanding, excellent, and/or superior service as opposed to “perfection" and that Kohler Communications maintains a 5.0 rating.
