Trenton B. Olsen, Ph.D.  - on Research, Copy Editing, and Line Editing


"Hannah Herring spent a year as an editorial assistant working on
my edited collection of Robert Louis Stevenson’s personal essays,
which will be published by Routledge: an internationally recognized 
academic publisher. As a copy editor, I found Hannah to be highly
skilled and exceptionally thorough. Our task involved a detailed
comparison of two virtually identical 600-page documents. Her
work was extraordinarily careful and organized. I was so confident
in her abilities that I asked her to train new assistants. I would hire
her again without hesitation, and recommend her to anyone seeking
a great copy editor.

Jessica Cather - on Content Editing, Copy Editing, and Proofreading

Working with Hannah was a great experience for both of us. I was
impressed by her editorial abilities, proficiency, and dependability.
Hannah is skilled in her understanding and implementation of
each element of the editing process. Her proficiency as an editor
includes a solid understanding of the writing process and the
rules associated with creating high quality work. Hannah respects
the work of the author, and feels the importance of keeping the
author’s unique voice. She also has an ability to discern the
author’s intentions, and upholds these intentions in her
comments. All of these skills were vital in assisting me in
producing a well-polished manuscript that I could feel confident in
submitting to a publisher.


Hannah was very dependable about collaborating regularly with
me to assist us both in working well together. She clearly
communicated with me on what to expect from her, and followed
through with what she said she would do. If any adjustments were
needed in the prescribed schedule, Hannah was very good about
informing me about the changes.


There were several times Hannah went out of her way, and
beyond the standard editing responsibilities, to provide resources
and education for me to assist me in improving as an author. She
was encouraging and very respectful in our dealings.
Through her proficiency as an editor, Hannah was invaluable to
me in the value she provided to my manuscript, as well as
contributing to the confidence I feel as an author. I highly
recommend her services.
