and clarity in writing makes her an asset for any type of publication. I have relied extensively
on her for my own work in nonfiction and fiction for the past 13 years, and she consistently
proves herself to be reliable, knowledgeable, and wonderful to work with."
Sherri Byrand
English professor at UW-Sheboygan,
author of more than 200 published works
"I am a secondary and university English teacher who decided, in retirement, to do some writing
on my own for publication, and it has been my good fortune that for much of my work I've had
Marie as my proofreader. A meticulous writer myself, and one who thinks he 'knows all the rules,'
I have to admit that Marie has nevertheless almost always found a flaw or two in any work I
submitted to her. She really does know all the rules, or at least seems to, and has had the powers
of concentration to keep them in mind even when I'm standing behind her looking over her
shoulder at her work.
"She writes well herself and thus can do more than just correct errors in spelling and punctuation.
I have been most impressed by some of the rhetorical changes she has suggested to me. In
short, she's very good at her work.
"Because proofreading is not always done in isolation, she has demonstrated 'people person'
skills that have made her a pleasure to work with, and if I were ever to write another book, Marie
is the first person I'd invite to proofread it."
Frank R. Bartol
Author of five books and hundreds of newspaper columns
"Marie has been my editor for the past four years, advising me on all matters related to style,
presentation, accuracy, and effective communication. I recommend her without reservation.
She is trustworthy and professional in all aspects of her work."
