    Pamela was a great partner in this. On the plus side, her editing is very good and her attention to detail and commitment to excellence is superb. As well -- she went over-and-above by editing an appendix and reprints that were outside the contracted commitment. She had a computer glitch which created...

    Pamela delivered a quality edit. She communicated and showed her work throughout the entire process allowing me to review. This is when I knew my project was in good hands. She stayed true to the story and only made changes when it made grammatical sense or it improved a scene. I’d highly recommend and would definitely work with her on future projects.

    It was amazing working with Pamela. She is very knowledgeable, has a great attention to details, and elevated the manuscript beyond my expectations. She is creative, and catches things that one would easily miss. I strongly recommend her and will be happy to work with her again in the future.
