"What
a superb job you've done!
I'm thoroughly impressed
with your editing on both
large and small levels,
and I really appreciate
the care you've taken to
apply our preferences. . .
. I couldn't be happier,
and I can't wait to book
you on a future project.
It's an enormous pleasure
to be working with you.

"She has been a model of congeniality and help during the [copyediting] process. Moreover, my examination of the files reveal that she was amazingly scrupulous and attentive to the smallest details. She has helped me pinpoint (and correct and improve, I hope) plenty of errors and problems. I can't help but think that the book has been considerably tightened and bettered in the process. . . . just a note to express my gratitude and admiration for her careful work on the project."
– John C. Tibbetts, author, Composers in the Movies (Yale University Press) |
