FEEDBACK

"Hello Suzanne-
I had printed a copy of an earlier draft and had circled everything that needed correcting. Today, I compared your revision to mine and WOW!!! You truly are a great editor, not only did you make each correction I had noted, but many more. You are the best! The revision is incredible and at Doctorial level. Thank you, thank you, thank you &I just wish I had found you two years ago (and a couple of thousands of dollars ago). Thank you again for your humility, your honesty, and your complete and professional expertise! What an honor to work with someone of your caliber.
Thank you,
Tammy Sagastizado

 

"Like most committee chairs, mine is never satisfied with anything I submit (although I have to admit she is usually correct), and so I was ready for the typical barrage of virtual red ink in my latest submission...and I quote: 'Steve, I am very pleased with this work and have no corrections. You are working very well with your new editor. Please get feedback (if any) from your committee members. Dr. Lois.' Very simply and very sincerely...thank you!" -- Steven Seney

 

"Suzanne, You did an excellent job editing my dissertation. Your experience and  thoroughness were obvious from the beginning. Your knowledge of APA 
5th edition, Nova Southeastern University dissertation guidelines, and 
your commitment to quick turnaround are just a few of your many 
talents. I have highly recommended your editing services to my 
colleagues.
PS -- Robert Greene just emailed me. My dissertation has been accepted!"
Donna Gottardi, Nova Southeastern University

 

"You are so wonderfully awesome...words can not describe how thankful I

“Being a full-time teacher and student, my life is extremely stressful. Perfecting work for my Ph.D. program is time-consuming and quite intensive. Suzanne Manness helped to alleviate much of my stress and allowed me to finally get some much needed rest! She was very patient and helpful during the review process of my paper. Her review of my paper was first-rate and her response time was quick. She was also prompt in all emails sent to her concerning any questions that I had. My dissertation proposal is on its way for the IRB approval. I must thank Suzanne for her hard work, dedication and expertise with APA writing. I would strongly recommend Suzanne for review of AP writing!!” Dawn Adams, internship coordinator, Wheeler High School

 

"Suzanne Manness rescued my dissertation from an incompetent editing company that added as many mistakes as they corrected. The company had placed page numbers in three different locations, used different section headings and used an inconsistent format for table headings. To make maters worse, I had only two week to submit my dissertation or five years of research would have been voided when my program ended. Suzanne worked with my phone and email to complete the job. She was pleasant to work with as well as competent. The proof of her abilities was shown when my committee accepted my draft without any suggested changes." Gary Kush, PhD

 

"Suzanne was excellent at helping me organize my dissertation chapters so they made a clear and concise argument. She has excellent writing and organizational skills and can conceptualize arguments extremely well. One of her strongest attributes is her knowledge and experience with International dissertations (U.K). She knows how to get the job done and has excellent turn around time!" -- Deborah M. Moscarelli, Assistant Professor, Central Michigan University, Department of Marketing & HSA

 

"Suzanne Manness played an instrumental role in the completion of my dissertation. Her recommendations, especially in editing and proper formatting of the final draft, were tremendously helpful in giving me direction and, above all, peace of mind. I was impressed by her level of professionalism, accessibility, and responsiveness. I believe that Ms. Manness  promptness and turnaround time are seldom found in the field of editing. Her promptness is coupled with an impressive knowledge of the English language. Furthermore, the years of experience in her field has given Ms. Manness a fundamental knowledge-base in a wide area of disciplines, from the hard sciences to the humanities. The completion of a dissertation is a difficult, not to say grueling experience. For me, Ms. Manness has been the light at the end of the tunnel. I recommend her unequivocally and without reservations." Viken Yacoubian, Ph.D.

 

"Suzanne Manness was an excellent editor. Suzanne was incredibly reasonable in her pricing. The turn around with the papers was quick, and she caught my grammar mistakes. Suzanne answered all my questions that I e-mailed to her about my papers. She usually responded within minutes and I have to admit I asked a lot of questions. Suzanne responded to all of them and offered explanations. Plus she is a pro with APA format. I would definitely recommend Suzanne as an editor." Elina (contact info on request)

"I found Suzanne while I was in a total panic. My regular editor was booked solid, my committee had given me 1 week to make a laundry list of edits to Chapters 1-3, and the Thanksgiving holidays were approaching. Suzanne did a fantastic job under significant time crunch. Suzanne’s dedication to her customers was evident especially near the end when I needed a PDF file for publishing—Suzanne worked into the early morning hours of a Saturday morning to be sure that I met my deadline. Her level of dedication and support was outstanding! I would highly recommend her to any graduate student on the verge of a document format breakdown."—Annise Mabry, Ph.D. Capella University
