"Although a skillful flatterer is a most delightful companion if you have him all to yourself, his taste becomes very doubtful when he takes to complimenting other people."

Charles Dickens, Nicholas Nickleby

“Thank you so much. It is so delightful to work with someone as reliable as you! I read through the paper, and your corrections make perfect sense. Thank you for suggesting so many changes. I will look at it tomorrow more closely, and integrate your changes one by one....

“I just integrated all your corrections in the text. I am really impressed at your work -- I think you really understood what I am trying to convey. Thank you especially for the lovely suggestion 'to take something with a grain of salt,' which perfectly renders what I meant.”

"I can't imagine there being a better editor than Jane Mackay. For the entirety of the time I have worked with her she has proven she is the best -- everything from her joyous, positive attitude to her skill and dedication; she is priceless. Beyond her extensive knowledge, phenomenal sentence restructuring, and brilliant word choices that cater specifically to the style of the writing, her timely communication is absolutely refreshing and her ability to complete the project within an agreed upon deadline is relieving. I will not have to look for another editor, ever."

Matthew Hahn, Publisher, Armored Publishing


"Thanks for the review. I'm glad I had you look my paper over. I never seem to be able to see my writing mistakes until someone points them out. I think you did an excellent job….

"I got my grades for the papers you reviewed. I got a 100 on the Professional Competencies Paper and a 83.33 on the Credentialing Paper. I know I wouldn't have done as well if I didn't have you correcting all the grammar. So, thanks for the service."
