    Maressa’s mastery of the writing craft is evident in both her in-line comments and her reader report. She gave me plenty of valuable feedback to work with. She was upfront about a trip that might delay delivery, but ended up finishing ahead of schedule. All of her communication was professional. I would...

    I work with Ms. V for only one reason - trust. If Ms. V has a criticism, (and that is why one works with an editor) that criticism is substantiated and explained.
