testimonials
"Lewis is an excellent copy-editor whose services I’ve used for over 2 years on both small and large projects. I’ve worked with many copy-editors before him, and found Lewis to be very accurate and reliable. I greatly appreciate both his professionalism and flexibility. Never missing a deadline, Lewis can turn around work quickly when needed, while keeping great attention to detail. On occasion, Lewis had to work with fairly poor auto-translations, but he managed to turn even these into coherent and engaging texts. I have no hesitation in recommending Lewis for copy-editing."
Marco Visscher, author, editor
“Lewis is unusual in being able to map a project, understand exactly what is needed when and to follow through in great detail to the very end. He is precise, patient, efficient, analytical and creative in his approach. It is a very valuable set of skills!”
