“You were thorough in your edits but also gave constructive feedback that helped me improve my writing. The turnaround time was very quick, and I appreciated that you were responsive to any questions I had.” 

“The APA edits were essential for me! And honestly, I couldn’t have had a better experience. You knew what you were doing, you were upfront and prompt on everything, and I felt I got a solid deal on the amount of work returned.”

“Matt’s business was advertised on the Northwestern Writing Center’s website—and I think the only such service if I am not mistaken. That mattered quite a bit. Once I met with him over zoom and saw how professional he was, I did not need to look around the market.”

“Matt was always communicative and responsive. I had a lot of variables I had to balance before I got the final version to Matt, and he was able to work with my changing deadlines without a problem. I could not recommend him enough.”

“I had a great experience working with Matt as my dissertation copy editor. He was very clear about a timeline of what he would be working on, when he would send me edits and of what sections and had very clear explanations of why an edit was needed. Not only was he able to spot and identify editing needs, but I also learned a lot about why something needed to be edited.”

“Matt had a strong understanding of what Adler’s editing guidelines were for my manuscript. If he had any questions or was unsure about something, he was very open about needing to consult, and would get back to me about a certain edit. Matt helped me with also identifying consistency, or even lack of consistency I had regarding certain aspects throughout my entire dissertation. A huge help was that he was able to double check my reference list and citations. This takes a lot of time. I did attempt to do this myself, but clearly missed quite a few references or citations.”

“I appreciate that you teach as you give edits. You don’t just say this is incorrect.”

“What made me want to work with you on my dissertation is your knowledge of APA and your disposition, too. You’re very calm and cool and collected, and I’m not. I’m a typical Chicagoan — I talk fast, I’m going to cut you off — and you didn’t seem stressed or bothered by that at all.”
