    It was an absolute pleasure working with Sharon J. From the beginning she was extremely responsive. Her developmental notes showed a deep understanding of the manuscript and were eloquently written, easy to understand, and gracious. We are looking forward to continue working with her on subsequent drafts.

    Sharon was pleasant to work with and made a genuine effort to follow the instructions provided throughout the project. However, the final result fell short of what was needed.
