What People Are Saying

“

I've known Janet since 2010. She is one of the most hard-working, thorough, caring, and helpful professionals you could ever wish to meet. Janet is an amazing educator and editor. I have watched her masterfully educate whole rooms full of students with ease, known her to work with single students in their own personal learning styles until their confidence level rose enough that they could continue on their own, and seen the result after she has edited stumbling paragraphs into near-art prose.​

Janet has offered me her brilliant, thoughtful, and proficient editing of scholarly papers, grant proposals, conference lectures, my PhD dissertation, and a book manuscript. She is not only a careful and engaged editor, she also shares great ideas about content and structure, and is experienced in explaining how to improve my writing, offering me tools I can use. Janet also has a unique ability as an editor and a tutor to help my own voice be heard in the most articulate way possible, -- an ability not many editors share.

I can enthusiastically recommend Janet as a multifaceted, highly skilled writer, writing coach, and editor. While I was working toward my MSW, she read through my research papers, offering invaluable feedback on everything from the organization of the paper to the structure of my sentences, and once I finished the program, she helped me create my CV and write cover letters for jobs. Janet not only offered me writing support, but the moral support I needed to get through some daunting writing tasks, and I couldn’t have done it without her.

More than anything, Janet is my partner, and God knows, she is a wonderful partner; Janet has this rare ability to live the text with me, to think through my lenses, to speak the voices of my informants sometimes better than I do, to take this extra mile from my homeland to the international arena, together with me. This is what makes Janet the editor she is: smart, so smart, generous, kind, completely devoted to the text, to its clarity, completely with you in the effort to produce a coherent, robust argument, one that will deliver the essence of your broader project. She has a close familiarity with the professional guidelines and the formal standards of academic writing and publishing, together with great sensitivity to the material itself, and to you as a scholar and as a writer. "You're the best" I once wrote to her, then deleted it; I thought maybe it was too informal, too friendly, inappropriate within the high standards Janet gives to her work as editor, and to her relations with us, her clients. But then I told myself: but it's true; she is really the best editor I've ever worked with. "You're the best", I wrote again, then pressed "send". I'm not alone anymore as a writer. I have Janet with me.

I began working with Janet over a decade ago, and have turned to her whenever I’ve needed my writing to be transformed from jumbled ideas into compelling, heartfelt messages I’m proud to send out to my clients and my community. She has an uncanny ability to make me sound exactly like me — but even better than I could ever do myself!
