Thank you very much for all the time you spend with me. It really helped me to reconnect with my dissertation topic to organize my ideas better, [and] to be specific. Thinking through it with you was very helpful. Thank you also for the notes. That is just so great. You are extremely skillful putting the ideas down and have something concrete.

I've found your detailed comments and editing suggestions incredibly helpful! I really appreciate the specific suggestions and guidance on how to resolve issues in my chapters. … I'm in the final process of having my first journal article published -- much thanks to you. I learned a great deal about writing from working with you on my dissertation. Thanks again!

Your promptness, flexibility, patience, and understanding me…I value and appreciate [you] very much.

Another successful semester is coming to an end—with your help. Many thank you for your continual assistance with my writings.

Your support from the very beginning stages of this helped me make "lemonade" time and time again. You helped me see that while, yes, this is an academic research endeavor, it is truly something far beyond. My gratitude to you is beyond words.
–Denise Renye

Thank you so much for your editing and academic navigation. I am happy to be in your group—again, in 2012. Wish you family the best the world can offer. With deepest gratitude and love,
–In Hui

Your balance between a gentle and directive approach, I imagine is helping many students move forward in a positive direction!
–Melody French

You are an incredibly gifted editor. You took my dross and made it shiny and reflective. I think it now at least has a chance for the NY Times, or some similar prestigious publication, which prior to the application of your talents was not even on the radar screen.

I am pleased to let you know that [the journal] accepted the publication of the attached paper "as is." … From the Peer Review Process: "It is impeccably written, thorough in its scholarship, and persuasive in its argument. … Overall, the paper is excellent, and the recommendation is that it be accepted with any changes of substance left to the author's discretion."

At all times Anna was positive and professional while always offering ways to clarify the message. Anna is also someone you can trust for tough, honest, and constructive feedback—exactly what authors are looking for!

I'm in the final process of having my first journal article published—much thanks to you. I learned a great deal about writing from working with you on my dissertation, and have now moved from being a postdoc to a faculty member!

These pieces look excellent. Radically exceeds all expectations I had going in. You did a great job letting the voices of the three of us come out individually while achieving a clean, confident tone. Very nice. Excited to dive into the next batch.

Your thoroughness was concise, deliberate, and articulate. I could not have done this without you. Or, I'd be donning my hood as an elder sometime in the 2050's…Endless gratitude!
–Jeff J.

My dissertation chair told me that he would be directing his future dissertation students to my [paper] as a model. I believe it was in large part due to the direction and clarity you offered me every step of the way. You made what was a very overwhelming endeavor for me feel far more contained and doable
–Margaret Boucher

Your work really elevated my paper and pushed me in a direction that was hard for me—but was where I needed to go . . . and I am so grateful for it. You are incredibly good at what you do—and I just wanted to thank you again. Your patience, attention to detail, problem-solving, and all-around brilliance :) made this possible.
–A.P.

Thanks so much for all your help—both technical and emotional. I really appreciated and enjoyed working with you, and your steady assurance was a welcome anchor through the sometimes chaotic waters of this process. You were one of a very small group of people who really felt like they were tracking my progress.
–Sarah Kerr

This was the highest possible professional caliber work, as good or better than I've seen in years from any established publishing house, and I was extremely impressed by the breadth and depth of [Laura's] reading and her keen eye for the smallest details. Her welcome scattered suggestions for improving certain small aspects of presentation and voice and technique were all well thought and appropriate, and her uncanny ability to spot the slightest inconsistencies in the most minute references in the text reveals her dedication to the job at hand.
–David Silver

In comparing experiences [with my classmates], I realize how fortunate I am that I went with Laura and Together Editing. The checklist you sent was so easy to work with (and far superior to the Word documents some of my friends got) and the itemized bill I received was straightforward and made it clear how much work went into the process. I imagine your process required more work on your end, and I thank you for doing more to make my job easier. I would definitely recommend you to anyone in need of technical editing.

Many thanks again for your constant support as I labored my way through the dissertation process over the past 3 years. I simply could not have finished the work without your guidance, and I am deeply and eternally grateful to you all for standing by my side throughout the journey.
–Karin B.

I passed my defense! In the discussion with my teacher, he seems to be impressed your editing, because he knows how much difficult to translate specific culture things. It was definitely your help is essential. Again, thank you so much your help!!
–Mika Jones

I officially completed my Ph.D. program! …and no revisions were required. [My chair] said the work is "progressive" "forward" and he said "amazing" twice…So thank you, Anna. You helped me do this.
–Ann-Terese Barket, Ph.D.

Again and again, thank you so much for your support to complete my dissertation. Through completing thesis, I have learned that it is important to have integrity between what I say and do. Thank you so much for all your incredible work!

It has been a pure joy working with you! Given the grueling nature of the doctoral journey, I hardly anticipated "joy" being involved with my technical and copy edit process, but then, I hadn't met YOU!!! Your sweet demeanor, endless patience, and professionalism are like balm to a wounded, weary doctoral student crawling to the finish line. It will be my delight to work with you again sometime.

Thank you so much for all of your help, and your fantastic work. I would not have been able to finish so fast without you!

Anna is THE very best editor I know and she helped me so much in my dissertation writing. She (and her associates) are the only ones I trust with my academic work
–Regina

Thank you for your wonderful editing, clear instructions, and great improvements of my dissertation.

You have been an amazing gift in my life! I so appreciate your assistance, your humor, your dedication, and your BRILLIANCE!!

My defense went better than I could have ever imagined. NO rewrites, adds, deletes, or anything— at all. My committee wants me to publish in several forms asap. so, thank you thank you thank you! It was a pleasure to work with you.
Very sincerely,
Doctor [ :-) ] Catherine McGovern

Your skills have made this document one that is worthy of academic credibility. Thank you for your time, humor and detail oriented skill set.
–Denise Renye

You were so helpful and so gracious when I had nearly impossible deadlines. I appreciate sincerely all that you did!
–Pat McFarlane

Laura was amazing. She clearly is so gifted at editing but beyond that she was so responsive and supportive throughout the whole process. I really feel like I had a team supporting me.
–Margaret Boucher

Thanks so much for your love and excellent care of my baby. You have helped me create a product that I am proud of. Love and light,
–Bola Cofield

I find the most helpful part is that your team really understands the process, and where we (exhausted doctoral students near the finishing line) are, both mentally and emotionally. You are both kind and efficient.
