Feedback

"Since I am a non-native English speaker in the teaching profession, it is indispensable to have a good editor. I had tried so many editors before I met Melissa, and there's none who could do better work than she. I wish I'd known her while I was working on my doctoral dissertation. Melissa is a highly reliable, responsible, and professional editor that I recommend for all my friends, including native English speakers." Hiromi Saito, Ph.D. Queens College

 

"Of the different editors I've worked with during my career, I can honestly say that Melissa is the best. She posed the right questions when I was working on a re-write to make my work more clear for my readers. Plus, I've learned a little, as a writer, from her editing." Michele J. Hale, author of Skin

"Melissa provided a very thorough review of my dissertation and was willing to work within my time-line. She not only provided editing she added notes with questions for clarification in my writing. I would highly recommended Melissa for this type of work" -- Cheryl Lampkin, American University

 

"Melissa Simpson was a fantastic support. She was incredibly efficient and reliable. Without her editing services, I would have been lost. Melissa is simply the best I have ever worked with. I’d love to contact her again." Werner Bonadurer, PhD student, University of St. Gallen, Switzerland
