I feel fortunate to have been working with Laura since 2014. Laura is not only extremely professional but also kind and supportive. She is thorough and exceptional in making complex quantitative writing more easily accessible. She has helped me to learn about the publishing process and gain more confidence in my writing. What sets Laura apart is her ability to go beyond basic editing to address substantive issues while ensuring that any edits retain the writer’s intentions and voice.
