"Shelli is one of the best editors with which I’ve had the pleasure to work. As a scientist with over 50+ papers, I’ve worked with many excellent editors. So it is not without some experience that I say that Shelli’s help and attention to detail were stunning. She edited a very technical academic paper for me, pointing out areas that could use clarification, helping me with the bibliography, and noticing many essential ways to improve my manuscript that I would have never seen without her careful eye. She even took the time to look up the style guide used by the journal to which I submitted the paper. I give her my highest and most enthusiastic recommendation."

"Shelli is a stellar editor. She expertly refined my father's memoir manuscript in every way, catching small and large errors and rewording awkward sentences while carefully preserving meaning. She also communicated with me clearly and frequently. I cannot speak highly enough of her skills and professionalism. Hire her for your project!"

Shelli was very mindful of my timeline, which helped me meet my deadline. The edits and feedback from Shelli were well done and very well explained. I not only received an edited product, but I also learned how to improve my writing for the future!

"For my second book, I decided it was time to hire a copy editor to ensure proficiency and clarity. Shelli made the process easy, effortless, and understandable.

“Shelli sets that standard of all standards for professional editing services. I have worked with a number of fabulous —I mean truly gifted—editors over my nearly 25 years as a scholar and professor, and Shelli outdistances them all! I was blown away by her level of thoroughness, her accuracy, her perceptive editorial suggestions for cutting major passages, and her precision with revising short phrases. With no familiarity with my subject, Shelli made perfect calls about how to trim verbiage, distill complicated passages for greater lucidity and accessibility, and cut circuitous or tangential material. But beyond this, she is an editor who teaches. I actually left the process with better writing skills and strategies based on her comprehensive notes and suggestions. Her impeccable performance was topped off with consummate professionalism. She honored deadlines and rendered her services as agreed upon in our contract. I’ve already signed her up to work on the book I am currently writing. I am overflowing with gratitude, Shelli, for your unparalleled editorial work!”

“I had an extremely positive experience working with Shelli. The highlight, for me, was how she combined clear, direct feedback with inquisitive notes that helped tease out possible gaps in my writing. The clarity of her commentary showed that she had paid great attention to the details of my project. Likewise, her curiosity made it clear that she valued what I was trying to accomplish with my writing. Even when she had recommendations for changes and improvements, her feedback helped support my vision for the project at hand. I can happily recommend her editing services for others.”

"For my first travel memoir, I couldn't be happier that I chose Shelli to be my editor. Her attention to detail and her incredible ability to improve sentence flow has made my manuscript reach a quality level that I never thought possible. She not only left immensely helpful comments about the story, but she also took the time to teach me various rules of writing. Her past travel experiences ensured she understood my intentions in various sections where it was critical that she did. I cannot recommend her enough!"

“Shelli was a gift. She was a powerful force on my dissertation team. Even my chair commented on Shelli’s stellar work. Shelli’s prompt responses were invaluable as I worked towards a deadline. Her talents are a true asset to anyone who works with her. I will recommend her to all my fellow researchers!”
