Working with Marnie was a true pleasure. Her indexing work was both intelligent and insightful. She clearly understood the material and the potential audience in a way that allowed her to construct an excellent index for my book. She also provided editorial feedback that improved the overall accuracy of my book. Marnie’s time management was excellent; she met every deadline and offered me flexibility when I could not do so. I would definitely work with Marnie again, and I would highly recommend her to others!”

You succeeded in making the necessary edits while still preserving the author’s voice. I rest incredibly confident in your editing ability.”
