Testimonials

  • - Monica Oxford, Research Professor
    Lisa was wonderful to work with on a revision of a nine-chapter book/manual on perinatal mental health. Lisa demonstrated excellent communication, coordination, and timeliness in managing this massive editorial project. I greatly appreciated her edits. She added suggestions to provide more depth and explanation when needed, addressed issues of voice consistency throughout, and provided insight from a reader's perspective as well as superb copyediting. We will definitely be securing her services for future projects.
