Steve, miscellaneous communications:
“You have an eagle eye. As always, I appreciate the help.”
Chris, MBA Candidate 130-page dissertation, 24-hour turnaround:
“Thank you again for your amazing help with the dissertation! Received a ‘distinction’ mark, highest praise in UK!”
“Only ONE of my twitter followers made my acknowledgments page. Thanks to @eigenseide for her amazing editing skills!”
“Be sure to give @eigenseide a follow if you aren’t already. Oh, and let her edit your stuff. You’ll sound smart!” (Full disclosure: Chris’ research was interesting and his dissertation well done; all the smart was already in there, I just got to help make it a little more obvious!)
Confidential twitter client, one page job inquiry, one-hour turn around:
“You guys. @eigenseide is amazing. My love for her knows no bouds.” (I may be an OCD editor, but I didn’t have the heart to call out the typo in her twitter testimonial!)
Confidential client, 40+ page academic position job application package, two week collaboration:
“Thanks. Looks awesome.” (These were his comments the day before submission. He’s a man of few words, still had bits to finish and was more than a little bit stressed.)
Amy, miscellaneous communications:
“Quick and thoughtful editor, ready to tweak cover letters, scientific proposals or political information at the drop of a hat.”
