TESTIMONIALS

“I immediately realized that David was not just a comma and capitalization man, but someone who took my writing seriously, cared about my characters, and cared about the author. In addition to his editing and developmental skills, I was absolutely astounded at the microscopic errors that he caught. Some editors want to say it their way, but I found even in grammatical corrections, he never altered my voice…. David is an editor who is worth every penny.”

“You’ve been wonderful to work with. It’s rare to work with an editor who is both thoroughly professional and considerate.”

Wim Coleman

“Working with David was a fabulous experience. First and foremost, he’s exceedingly thorough. He’s clearly mastered all the close detail work of tracking down punctuation, spelling and grammatical errors. As well, he knows the importance of reliability, delivering my edited manuscript exactly when he said he would (if not a few days earlier!), and at the price he quoted. Those are things you would expect from a professional and he didn’t disappoint. But David offered so much more: highlighting inconsistencies, suggesting alternative words or phrasing, pointing out possibilities, all without every making me feel awkward or amateurish. He was always positive and considerate, and I genuinely felt like he was almost as invested in my book as I was. David is a first-rate editor and working with him was an absolute pleasure.”

– Ted Bridgwater

“David is not only skilled at what he does, but professional, personable, and incredibly efficient…. I look forward to working with him again in the future.”
