Pendley’s Pro Editing & Indexing Reviews

---

I could not recommend Heather more highly. She was extremely competent, very thorough, and uncommonly patient. In addition, she made time for me no matter how inconvenient my request for help. And amazingly, she was less expensive than all of her competition.

Heather has provided reliable copyediting and proofreading for several Highpoint books. She is often able to work on fairly short notice, offers very competitive fees, and delivers on time—golden attributes in this industry. I happily recommend Heather for anyone seeking professional editorial skills.

 Heather has been proofreading the journal Key Words for the American Society for Indexing for the past year and I couldn't be more pleased with the turnaround time and quality of her work. She is thorough and quick ... She catches grammatical errors and awkward sentence structure that I missed. Nothing gets by Heather! I've come to rely heavily on her. I can always count on her. 

~ Janet Perlman

Editor, American Society of Indexers

Heather went well above and beyond our agreement in her edit of Cuba—The Forbidden Island. We appreciate her work and extra effort.

As an immigrant who grew up abroad, writing in a foreign language can be quite challenging [for me]. When I requested a quote for proofreading, Heather wasn't only quick to respond but also took the time to edit some of my work as a sample which I thought was amazing. I couldn’t be happier given that, besides the outstanding work she provides, she is very attentive to details, extremely responsive, and organized. She is definitely one of a kind and I feel very lucky for having her as part of my team. Thank you, Heather for everything you do.

What an impressive job you did [on the index]! I wish we could have sought/found you sooner. You were a real lifesaver. A thousand thanks!

You did a fine job correcting grammar, punctuation, spelling, and capitalization where needed. You were able to rephrase in many places to make it read better, caught some things we missed, ... and your turnaround time was excellent.
