"Nancy Rosenbaum was awesome to work with. She was prompt, thorough, and produced high quality work ahead of the agreed upon due date. I am very satisfied with her services. I would use her again and highly recommend her to others." —Contact information on request

"Nancy was absolutely amazing. I couldn't have been given a better APA editor. She started and finished my work early and provided phenomenal feedback. I have already recommended Nancy to my classmates and to my mentor." —Omar Parks, Argosy University

"I cannot say enough about Nancy. My dissertation was signed, without corrections, after Nancy's work. She was very knowledgeable and competent, which matters most; and it was a pleasure to work with her. The thorough read done by someone unfamiliar with the subject matter was incredible. She completed the job ahead of schedule and was completely engaged during the process. I hired exactly the right person for the job." —(Contact information upon request)

"Nancy Rosenbaum did an outstanding job. Very professional and prompt with e-mail contact. Nancy actually did more than was contracted. She started ahead of schedule and finished ahead of schedule. Nancy provided a concise explanation of the changes made. This is my first experience using an editor and I am very pleased with the entire process." —Kevin Higgins

"Network was easy to use linking me to a highly competent consultant.
Nancy Rosenbaum was the difference between completing my dissertation proposal and having to take two additional courses over an additional six months. This experience relieved most of the stress of the dissertation proposal process and saved me nearly $5000 of tuition cost that I would have otherwise incurred. The quality and timeliness of Nancy's work was the key to my success in processing my dissertation proposal in less than six weeks. I have classmates who chose to pursue the proposal on their own and are still working on the preliminary stages after nine months. Nancy's comments also made me a more astute writer. Choosing an editing service and consultant can be a trying experience, my experience was a true success story." —Garrett Rathgeber

"I would like to thank Nancy for the extremely thorough editing job! She greatly improved my methods section (my chair was very pleased) in addition to correcting grammar and word usage throughout the document. The reference cross-checking she conducted made me feel better about the quality of my work. I would recommend her without hesitation." —Yvette Bueno

was excellent, and my dissertation went right through the University's
format check." Patricia Wright, Assistant Professor of Nursing, Loyola
University Chicago

"RE: Proofreading and APA formatting of dissertation proposal - Nancy moved me a giant step forward toward the completion of my dissertation proposal. I am very pleased with her assistance." —Elbert Bassham, Capella University

"Ms. Rosenbaum was an exemplary editor and a pleasure to work with. She put a great deal of energy into her work which was evident not only in the high quality of her editing ( I gave her a huge editing challenge and had to meet a stringent page limit and deadline) but also in the level of detail in her feedback to me about use of APA style and general writing considerations; her feedback will be a great help in the future. I now have a literal 'library' on which to draw. She was also very available and responded to all of my questions with alacrity."— Doctoral student, NYU. (On file with network coordinator)

"Nancy was wonderful!! She got back to me promptly and her services were professional. I am so impressed with the time, effort and detail that she put into my project. She saved me so much time!!

Thanks a million Nancy!!" —(master's thesis, City University Seattle/Calgary)

"She is simple fantastic! I was simply astounded at her attention to detail. That, coupled with her delivery before schedule and careful explanation for all changes, instilled in me an incredible amount of confidence in her work. Nancy has succeeded in playing a major part in one of my most significant accomplishments so I feel a very special kindred spirit with her. I highly recommend her to anyone with tight deadlines, APA style review, or dissertation-level projects. Additionally, I fully expect to continue my professional relationship with Nancy for journal publications in the academic and business arena." —Charla Brown, Director of Human Resources / Candidate for PhD December 2008, Brigham Young University

"Nancy did a great job proofreading my PhD thesis. I was on a tight schedule and she returned the proofread thesis back to me in less than a week. We exchanged several emails regarding the editing style and she got back to me over email right away. I will definitely use her editing services also in the future!" —Tarja Teppo, researcher, Helsinki University of Technology (PhD dissertation)

"I had fairly low expectations because it was a 'web business,' but I was very wrong. I couldn’t have dreamt of receiving the thoroughness of editing, knowledge, and follow through that was provided by Nancy. She caught an error in my reference list that I would never have found. I don’t know how she did it! I am so pleased! Keep up the good work!" (Contact network coordinator for verification)

"I was very happy with the communication and effort put forth by the editor. She asked pertinent questions and made great improvements on my paper without changing the overall composition. She worked within the time frame I asked for and my paper was back to me with good suggestions and major improvements. Thank you very much I am glad I found your site." —(Contact info on request) (undergraduate student paper)

"Nancy rocked! I couldn't believe she finished editing when she said she would. We had trouble with the size of the file since it had photographs so we used Microsoft Office Live! And were able to transfer the file that route. It was easy once we figured it out. The APA style was making me nuts and Nancy really helped and made it a lot less stressful. She eased the worry and my thesis was just approved and I need to print it and bind it. I would recommend her to anybody who needs an editor. Nancy knows APA! When I write my great American Novel, I'll be contacting her again." —Joanne Richardson (master's thesis, National University)

"I'd like to thank you so much for your service leading me to Nancy. Nancy is a true professional in every aspect of her work. Through her thorough, concise, no holds barred (at my request) editing my resulting manuscript was levels beyond anything I hoped to produce as a first time book writer. I not only received editing services but an education from a teacher whose insights lead me, without directing me to improve every aspect of my writing through this process. I couldn't recommend Nancy more highly and when I lift my head from this project in the hopes of pursuing another writing project I will be recruiting her expertise again." —Tony Pallante, CEO, Performance Capital Services, LLC, author of From Your Wallets to Their Pockets (finance/economics).

"The network and Nancy Rosenbaum was a great asset in assisting the editing of my manuscript about an African American cemetery in Salisbury, North Carolina. This was my first attempt at writing on this level and Nancy guided me through the hazards of self editing. She also provided objective encouragement from a person who was a friendly stranger to my project. The lesson learned was THOU SHALL NOT SUBMIT SELF EDITED MANUSCRIPTS FOR PUBLICATION because the writer is too close in terms of emotion and experience to the work." —Reginald W. Brown, author of Oakdale/Union Hill Cemetery, A Study of a Twentieth-CenturyAfricanAmericanCemetery (historical memoir).

"This has been a wonderful experience. Since I as acting out of desperation and had not received a referral for this service, I knew there was a chance I could get “ripped off.” Nancy called me very quickly and had already looked up the university’s guidelines. We worked together to establish beyond that, the departmental guidelines. Her e-mail responses were always prompt and since I came to her with a VERY challenging deadline, I was appreciative of her promptness and her understanding of my situation. I will be returning to her again and again! I have already recommended her to several other people in my department. Can’t say enough good things about this experience. I learned a lot and Nancy’s feedback was VERY enlightening! AND…as promised, she did not judge me personally based on my silly (and plentiful) mistakes. She was very sympathetic to the fact that people who do not use APA style on a daily basis struggle with the format and style. Thank you again and again!" (Contact information on request)
