- My editorial team and I were very pleased with your copyedit of the Art of Lawyering. You intervened just enough, making only slight changes to word choice and punctuation, to really make statements more clear and details consistent. Very nice work! I will certainly keep an eye out for more projects to send your way, because I would love to work with you again.

- Thank you for the wonderful job! You went a long way toward showing me ways to choose simpler words, simplify sentences, and keep the information clear. I am using some of the knowledge I have gained from reading your book Write in Style, too. Also, thank you for returning the manuscript earlier than your estimated date.
After I submitted the first two chapters, proposal, and query letter, within a week I was offered a contract for publication of my book from a traditional publisher.
Thank you for your professional editing!

- The edit looks great. Thanks, Bobbie! I really appreciate your being able to edit all three books in the trilogy. It's really beneficial to the author and me when the same copyeditor is able to work on his or her books.

- I requested three other sample edits, in addition to yours. Yours was exceptional; the others weren't even really in running once I received yours.

Dorse DuBois dorse.dubois@comcast.net
- I am very pleased with your work. I found you to be very thorough, and you provided very useful suggestions. If I pay someone to edit my manuscript, I want someone who will be honest and direct with me, like you were. I want to hear the hard truth. That is the only way I will learn and the only way my manuscript will improve. I also greatly appreciate the "mini lessons" you provided to help me understand the improvements and learn from them. I have already recommended you to others.
--Sue Rosche, Paxriveralpacas@aol.com
- Thanks, Bobbie. I appreciate your editing and help with the back cover copy. The book goes to the typographer tomorrow. I have seen the death of very, really, truly, that, of, now, so, when, then, over, etc., most adverbs and many exclamation points, and have added 100 commas, fifty semicolons, and more than 100 hyphens. I have seen past, present, and future aligned in time and space. Thanks again.
Anthony Ellis, M.D thetaorunner@yahoo.com
- I now have several hours of typing and thinking to do, but it was exactly what I wanted for improving my book. I'll keep in touch. It's likely I'll be needing your services again...thanks

Mike Wright, brokenwranch@earthlink.net
- I want to express my sincere appreciation for such fine work. I've shopped around, making contact with a dozen editors. You're heads above the rest. I particularly like your critique format. Each element: plotting, characters, conflict, etc., has a specific comment for improvement.

Dr. B.F., Midlothian, VA
- Thank you for returning the edited manuscript before your estimated date. I have read over the contents of the report and flipped through the manuscript and find your edit to be thorough and professional.
William Littlewood wlittlewood@hotmail.com
