Charles Annis provided copy editing services that were not only of excellent quality, but he also went above and beyond with suggestions that improved my manuscript substantively. He was very prompt, and he communicated in a very straightforward and professional manner. His price was more than fair, given the speed and quality of his work. In all things, he exceeded my expectations—big time!
