Testimonials
"Ren helped copy edit my dissertation for more hours than I would like to admit, and I could not have finished it without her kind input. My committee told me it was the best writing they have ever seen out of me, and a part of that is due to Ren's experienced hand. I would not hesitate to recommend her to anyone in need of a solid copy editor." -Britt
"Ren's remarkable reading comprehension abilities lead her to identify effective ways to improve argument and essay structure. Moreover, she is always gracious, encouraging, and engaged, offering the kind of support of any writer needs before putting their work out in the world." -Cynthia
"Ren was extremely helpful with proofreading and copy editing our anti-harassment brochure and my annual newsletter report. She understood the context and was able to elevate my wording to a higher level professionally. She has an excellent eye for detail and is a natural grammatical gatekeeper." -Amber
