Stephanie was recommended to me by another professional editor as I had to meet a close deadline, and she did a great job in editing my PhD dissertation in a short period! I happily recommend her to other PhD candidates!

Should my business hire an editor?
Many businesses believe that editing is something they can do on their own. But if you've missed a typo or grammatical error in your first draft, there's a good chance you’ll miss it again when you go back to proofread it.
