Pearl J. says, "I eventually reached out to GW after months of searching for the appropriate grants for our nonprofit. I spent two hours with their consultant, who thoroughly examined our activities and mission. They helped us choose which grant possibilities to pursue first and unearthed options I never would have discovered on my own. Two grants have been obtained six months later. It was well worth the initial consultation price."See more

Eric N. says, "I hired Larice because my book consultant said that I must get a professional edit. When the edited manuscript was returned to me, I was at first shocked at the number of mistakes I had missed, even after multiple drafts and several read throughs by colleagues and friends. Some might find this discouraging—and it was humbling—but the whole point of editing is to generate an improved manuscript, which means correcting grammar, punctuation and sentence structure. Larice delivered this. And she did it on time and in a professional and friendly manner. By request, Larice also provided much appreciated feedback on my book. She is a pleasure to work with, and I highly recommend her."See more

Lakeisha J. says, "I've worked with Lynnet of Lynnet's Professional Touch on many occasions and her service has always exceeded my expectations. I reach out to her often for various editing and writing projects related to my own business and she is always timely and accommodating of my turnaround time. She's great to work with because she asks good questions and always overdelivers. It's clear that she loves what she does and I appreciate that as a repeat client. Her early learning resources are impressive. Her flash cards are premium quality and since they are laminated my daughter has spilled stuff and got them dirty but I just wipe the off and keep using them. I've purchase the ABC, colors, and number flash cards for my little one and will be back for more. When my school-aged kids needed a private tutor I reached out to her. She was patient, she listened to their struggles, helped them work through them, and was prompt and prepared each session. She researched anything she was unfamiliar with and helped my kids develop their research skills as well. She was great and well worth it. Lynnet's Professional Touch offers so many enriching services and delivers every single time. Her work is top notch and her rates are well within reason for the quality of her work. You will get more than what you pay for and you'll be glad that you hired her."See more

Yasamin G. says, "Wow! Chip was so responsive and so QUICK to deliver his work back to me! He took what I wrote and made it into a piece of art! I needed something that had more emotion, more flow, and more structure to the writing and he delivered just that. I read the writing out loud to and cried because of how much I “felt” through the words. Thank you Chip for helping me create my speech way better than I ever could."See more
