included rewriting virtually all of the text, reworking the design, creating a new cover concept and adding new

dissertation on an extremely tight time line. His edits were timely, thoughtful, and enhanced both the quality
and substance of the final product. I look forward to working with him again on upcoming reports and
recommend him highly for any type of copy editing or proof reading.

accurate and timely. His easy-going nature made for an excellent working relationship.

Web content. Howard is flexible and is able to provide anything from a quick "second set of eyes" on a piece
to a more thorough editing on a report, depending on my needs. He does a very thorough job and the
finished product always looks great. Howard is able to maintain the essence of what’s written but rework it in
a way that makes it shine. He’s extremely professional and turns things around quickly. I’d definitely
recommend him.

amiable personality is an asset in client meetings. Whatever the project, Howard asks probing questions that
ensure a well thought-out result. His attention to detail is evident in his writing style. Look up team player in

show exhibits and web site updates. Howard always works hard to keep projects on track. His writing and
editing skills never waiver while achieving an exemplary product.

creativity, and a wide range of skills to all his work. Among other things, Howard showed me the ropes of Web

one and as part of a team.
