—Owner, specialty-pharmaceutical company

 

“Thank you, Paula. I have marked a hard copy of our original with all of your changes. By doing that on our original, I can see where capitals were or were not used and the same with periods. I wasn’t kidding when I said I was most interested in the placement of capitals and periods. Of course, I will also keep for many years to come both the pdf and Word versions you sent. And thank you for such a speedy turnaround!”

“Your eagle eyes are amazing!”

 —Big Four partner

—President and CEO, non-US, overseas computer security firm

—Big Four managing director

 

“I’m so pleased with your attention to detail (which you will have noted is not my strength!). Incorporating your work has now turned my own into a much more substantial document. I’m wondering if you would be willing to have a second and final review of it once I complete the revision.”

—Retail manager

 

“I have to share with you something funny. Last week I was at a meeting and using your company pen while taking notes because I like it and it is good advertising for you. All of a sudden, I see that the guy sitting next to me took my pen. In my mind I’m saying, Why did he take my pen??? The funny part was that he had not taken my pen. He too uses your pen. We had a good laugh over this with everybody in the meeting. So now everybody knows about you and your editorial service.”

“You did a Paula Perfect job, as usual.”

—Project manager

 

“For many years I have been using Paula Plantier of EditAmerica. Her work is exemplary and prompt, and her prices are more than fair. I have no reason to even think about someone else. Because of my very high level of satisfaction with her work for many years, I have recommended her to many others, and every single person thanked me profusely and shared with me also their high level of satisfaction.”

—Career coach’s recommendation to others

—Career coach

 

“I have gone through about two-thirds of your notes and really appreciate your work! It’s amazing how punctuation can make such a difference in determining meaning and ease of reading. Likewise, some of your suggestions for ways to present certain words in dialogue—or even for restructuring sentences in the narrative—were spot-on. Many thanks!”

—Playwright

 

“Most people don’t understand what the nature of your job is, how detailed it is, etc. But when people see your work, the value is so clear. Thank you for all of your time, skill, and attention to our project. We appreciate you so much.”

“Thank you very much. Your help is invaluable. Every time I read what you do with my original, it amazes me. A few changes make the whole logic and reading so much smoother flowing and easy to read.”

—Career coach

 

“Paula reviewed my résumé, and as a consequence of our interaction, I unreservedly recommend to anyone the quality of her work and her talent as a knowledgeable and insightful editor. Given her background, my expectations were high but that did not prepare me for the great insights she provided, nor for her great eye for detail, mastery with the written word, or diplomatic way of suggesting ways to tweak a phrase here or substitute another word there. Working with Paula was a joy.”

—Employment recruiter

 

“I recommend Paula for the great editorial work she has done for me several times for different types of articles for publication. I keep going back to her because of this. Thank you, Paula.”

—Physician, internal medicine

 

“Paula’s talents will fit your editorial needs. She is client focused, responsive, creative, diligent, fast, highly competent, and knowledgeable. She spotted many inconsistencies in my work, and her suggestions made great sense. She always met deadlines and continued to surprise me positively. She also has extremely fair pricing, and communication was easy despite our being on opposite sides of the Atlantic. Paula is simply a fantastic editor, and I thank her for her great support of this author.”

European financial services book author

 

“Thanks so much for the prompt editing. Your style fascinates me. I’ve told you this before. It is so clear and easy to read. I think that what I write is mostly logical, but I can’t express it well and it doesn’t always come out right. When I read your version, I’m always left wondering why I can’t write this way.”

—Career coach

 

“Yes, we know the document requires work, which is why I wanted to make sure it went to you. I’m so glad you’re on the job. Thanks.”

—Director at Big Four auditor

 

“How many times can I say you are wonderful? I already sound like a broken record. Thank you. I like the new versions a lot.”

—Career coach

 

“Paula did an excellent job in editing my résumé so that I would have a better chance to land a new accounting job. I highly recommend Paula’s editorial services to your company.”

—Professional accountant

 

“I have known Paula and used her editorial services consistently for a number of years. While I know there are other choices, I keep coming back to her because not only does she perform excellently, but also she’s very prompt and customer focused. I’ve used other editors in the past, and all of them were inferior to Paula’s editorial talent. I both commend and recommend her.”
