Testimonials *

• "It is perfect. I attend to all your corrections and first I learn a lot from them, and second I wonder how it is possible that you always guess right what I am willing [myself] to express?"
• "It's amazing how you can transform texts. Re-reading my own I was always surprised."
• "I appreciate your criticism because first, I am in the stage of learning process and second, I know I can trust you."
• "Just finished reading your work on [chapter] 2 (without viewing revisions) and it seems a big improvement. The text has lost nothing by being shortened drastically, a real accomplishment!"
• "Your work on [the chapter] will be very welcome because you have a talent for spotting weaknesses and putting punch in the text."
• "Dear Susan, I found a few days to go over the revised chapters. Once again, I want to thank you for your work. I feel my work is so much improved! I am very happy with your work."
• "I've been re-reading all the chapters - what a great job you've done. And how patient you are."
• "Thank you for your (as usual) tactful comments. I shall make the amends you suggest; and it is exactly the type of additional perspective that is needed to make the text more readable."
• "I am very happy with your persistence; it proves that you stick to your opinion."
• "First of all: thanks for all the hard work! I really appreciate it. And if I am as pleased as your previous work, I will be pleased!"
• "You raise an important issue ... I am pleased any time you do raise questions, because I am sure you understand and also read better than almost any other reader."
• "I haven't had time to read it carefully, but it looks good at first glance. I should say: it looks very good."
• "It's funny your message anticipated mine or, better, answered the message. I was going to write to you to ask if the conclusion was too bad (and you answered me perfectly and nicely). I think it was not good and you're indeed right when you say I was more than tired and fed up."
• "I have read through your editing and think it is a big improvement."
• "The chapter is much improved, but you forgot to add a bill for your efforts on this chapter, which cannot be reduced to words, but should not be included in your work as chief editor, if it takes up much time. Please deduct your costs from the balance remaining on your last invoice and we will forward a new cheque."
• "Most of the day I have used to go over your work and I think the chapter is greatly improved. Don't worry about your comments being too strong."
• "Thank you very much for your work. It looks very good. I would really like you to do the rest of this chapter now."
• "I am very happy that you do your work so thoroughly."
• "You certainly convinced me that editing is hard work."
• "As mentioned previously. I trust your judgement in charging for writing about total impressions, and if for some reason I disagree we can always discuss it. Would you let me know how you feel about this? You analyze the texts more thoroughly than anyone else will and have the capacity to give an objective opinion.
• "The changes ... are a definite improvement. Thank you for your work."
• "As to your revisions ... I think it is a big improvement."
• "Thanks for the millionth (?) time!"
