Testimonials
“I can’t tell you how much burden it takes off me and my team having Joy copyedit for us. Her approach, flexibility and technical knowledge help us have a final product that is not only free from grammatical errors, but also readable and handsome.”
“Joy has provided freelance editing services for our journal since 2019. She is a true professional with great talent: her responses to my requests are always timely; the edited product is always returned on time, often earlier than the expected return date; the manuscripts are noticeably improved; and her editing skillfully meets the balance between over- and under-editing. Between her eye for subtle detail and subject-based editing expertise, I am always confident that the product that Joy returns to me will reflect the high-standards of writing that our readers expect of our journal.”
“A fastidious writer and editor with a talent for making complex ideas feel straightforward and actionable.”
“Joy’s extensive knowledge of forestry and ecology makes her an ideal partner in writing or editing public outreach materials in this field. Working with her takes much of the heavy load of drafting and refining text off my shoulders.”
“We worked with Joy on a transdisciplinary grant proposal. Her breadth of expertise and incredible ability to translate complex information into an accessible format were invaluable in polishing the proposal narrative. Her efficiency, attention to detail, and thoughtfulness ensured that we addressed all the program requirements and harmonized the information across the different proposal documents. Joy is an outstanding partner and I highly recommend working with her!”
“Joy combines a foundation of scientific knowledge with editorial fluency and smart project management to strengthen language and support team members. She asks the right questions up front to focus her talents where they’re most needed, delivering tight copy even in quick-turn situations. I’m grateful to have her in my corner.”
“Joy worked quickly and efficiently to research, digest, and write about all aspects of utility-scale solar development–a subject that was brand new to her. In addition to information about environmental impacts, she effectively summarized information outside her regular fields of work, including taxation and economic development. Throughout the year-long project, she collaborated with print and web designers to produce a polished final product on deadline. I plan to work with Joy again in the next phase of this work.”
“Joy researched and wrote an extensive national 4-H curriculum leaders’ guide with me. Her work was of the highest caliber and she always met deadlines. She coordinated with a photographer to have hundreds of photos taken. She was courteous and professional and made sure all the pieces came together to produce a polished piece.”
