Testimonials
"Matt was an excellent editor. I think academic editing is particularly hard - you're always working with somebody who's an expert, you're often an expert, there are egos on both sides. I've had editors who deal with this by being hands-off, and doing only the little things to clean up the style and syntax, and I've had some who are really intrusive with the amount of changes they recommend, and the forcefulness with which they do it. Matt is very hands-on, but he offers suggestions not dictates, and always explains his reasoning in-depth so you know why what he suggests makes sense. He's very talented, but he's also diplomatic and easy to work with, a rarer quality in an editor - I heartily recommend him."

"Matthew has been helping me with my term papers and dissertation writing since I was a PhD student. He is one of the best writing consultants that I have ever worked with. That's why I continue to seek help from Matthew for my research manuscripts. When you need to get editing help from someone with full professional proficiency in English, Matthew will be your best choice."

“I worked with Matthew on my dissertation while he was on staff at UCR's Graduate Writing Center. As a non-US scholar, I felt very comfortable working with Matthew, who understood my writing style and was not quick to dismiss it as poor. Matthew's approach was refreshing in that regard and contrasted with other editors who I had worked with in the past and who were often condescending. Instead, he was extremely careful not to impose a rigid stylistic grid onto my own writing—he works with you and not against you. His editorial approach helped me organize my thoughts better and yet allowed me to maintain a distinctive voice, and as a result, my dissertation committee did not require any revisions. In fact, they praised both my writing skills and style!”
