John was so flexible to work with! I had a special job that needed some out of the box thinking, he jumped right in and did a super job. I can't wait to use him again.

I relied on John to proofread my first two books on politics and economics. I worked on these books for years and knew that I wanted only the best to ensure that each book was polished and professional. Not only did John provide quick and reliable service with frequent follow-ups and the flexible editing format that I needed, but he was a lot of fun to work with! I highly recommend John for proofreading and will be working with him on many more projects in the future.

We were on the last stages of preparing our YA book for publication and to ensure we hadn't missed fine-tuning the grammatical details, we asked John to review the manuscript. I appreciate his timeliness and eye for small items that we needed our attention. His proofreading was an important last step in our production process. Thanks John!”
