–Ally Machate, Founder and CEO of The Writer’s Ally
“Emily really helped me out last spring when I needed a reliable, trustworthy copyeditor for an important project. She is a talented and efficient editor with superb instincts for how to improve a text. She is professional in all she does and a pleasure to work with. Highly recommended!”
–Katherine Pickett, owner of POP Editorial Services LLC and author of Perfect Bound: How to Navigate the Book Publishing Process Like a Pro
“I came across Emily’s profile on the Editor Freelancers association. After reading a bit about her, I promptly followed the link to her website. After going through her site, making sure that she was what I was looking for in an editor, I sent her an email requesting her services. In all honesty I contacted several other editors and they either didn’t reply or they replied well after Emily had already finished with my project. Emily answered my initial email within twenty-four hours. After talking through what I wanted and what I needed she explained the entire process to me making sure I fully understood what the next steps were, as well as possible other routes I could take if I were so inclined. (This is my first novel so I was unsure about the entire editing process). As she was busy working on other projects before mine she told me the exact date in which she would start working on mine, and the exacted date that it would be completed. She is very professional, helpful, and her insights have without question helped improve my novel. With no reservation I would, and am, fully recommending to anyone that is need of the services that she offers to hire her posthaste.”
–Brian A. (manuscript critique client)
“Emily did a great job copyediting a difficult manuscript with an unfortunately tough deadline. She knew where to draw the line, making solid decisions about what edits to make, what comments and questions to ask the author, what things to flag for the project manager, and what items to leave alone. From a project management viewpoint, you can’t get much better than that! It’s always great to work with a trustworthy, professional editor who returns a great edit, words her comments and questions clearly and pleasantly, and doesn’t do anything funky that requires additional time to sort out. Emily is just such an editor and a pleasure to work with.”
–Dawn McIlvain Stahl, Writer & Editor
“Emily worked on a manuscript for me in 2017. Before we agreed to work together, she provided a very detailed list of items that she would be checking for in my manuscript. We made our agreement and she met her self imposed deadline admirably. The contents of her review were fair, detailed and most of all honest. She was very easy to work with, before, during and after the completion of the review of my work. I would say that I was pleasantly surprised by how much feedback with which she provided. I had expected a brief overview of the work with a few pointers with which I could work from, however she provided great depth to the critique. I would certainly recommend working with Emily on any kind of manuscript that you have. She will be fair, honest and most importantly professional.”
–Robbie B. (manuscript critique client)
“I have worked with Emily for more than 10 years now, and I have always been impressed with her energetic dedication to her job. Over the years she has developed a fine eye for detail and is one of the most conscientious editors I have met. Emily has continually managed to meet our department’s challenging production deadlines while still producing first-rate work. Her agreeable disposition and eagerness to help her coworkers makes her a pleasure to work with, and she would be an asset in any position in publishing requiring advanced writing and editing skills.”
–Frank Swanson, Development Editor at AAA
“It was a pleasure to work with Emily at AAA. Professionally, her attention to detail was the best in the department, and her organizational skills allowed her to find the focus she needed when it was time to stop multitasking and start keeping an eye on just one project. That being said, she was also flexible to the changing needs of the department, and always very generous with her time and expertise to coworkers who came to her for advice. Personally, she is also one of the most genuine people I’ve ever encountered, and she is someone who I’d endorse for any project in a second because she is so reliable — both on deadline at work and with colleagues when they needed it most. ”
–Janet Reddick, Editor
“I have known Emily for more than 15 years now, and she has always stood out as a mature, dedicated, reliable, and talented woman. Her writing is high-quality. her productivity and time-management are top notch. I wish I could hire her here because I know that she would be a joy to work with, a reliable colleague and coworker, and a meaningful contributor to anything we might work on together. Hire her for anything and everything you can. She is a truly outstanding human being.”
–Bill Macauley, Associate Professor and University Writing Center Director at The University of Nevada, Reno
“Emily King is one of the very best students I have had in my twenty years of teaching. She stood out as a superior writer in a freshman writing class she took with me. I eagerly recommended her for a position in the Mount Union College Writing Center for her writing as well as her excellence in constructively critiquing the work of her peers. Her innate facility with language along with her insight regarding the requirements of assignments allowed her to assist others in turning in their best possible work. Perhaps most importantly, Emily had a keen ear for understanding what her peers wanted to say in their writing and for assisting them in accomplishing their goals. Emily is thorough, precise and creative in all of her work and she has excellent listening skills. This last trait will be especially important as Emily will be sure to understand what it is her clients want and she will ask the right questions to make sure the work is done right. She has a gracious personality, approaches projects with enthusiasm and is an absolute joy to work with.”
–Frank Tascone, Assistant Professor of English at the University of Mount Union
