Paul is excellent to work with. I loved his close attention to detail, like checking the spelling of obscure companies I mentioned in my chapters and even correcting a Jeff Bezos' quote I had included. Thanks to Paul's help, I feel much more confident taking my book to publication. If you are looking for a copy editor, Paul has my full 100% recommendation.
