"It is with much pleasure that I give this recommendation for Megan Barnes. Recently I hired Megan to edit the manuscript for my book. I am so pleased to say that she not only did an excellent job in editing, but also went above and beyond in making suggestions as to sentence structure, proper wording, formatting, and punctuation.
What impressed me the most about her was the fact that she took such an interest in her work, making sure everything was absolutely correct. Consequently, it is my sincere pleasure to recommend her to anyone who is looking for honest, fair, and quality work."

"I had the pleasure of working with Megan as my proof reader for my memoir, website, and author biography. My favorite part about working with Megan was how considerate and timely she was the entire process. Not only was she absolutely professional, but she was kind. She was always right on time or earlier with the deadlines and extremely communicative and present during the process. She got back to my emails within 24 hours of the work week and was very easy to talk with. I definitely plan on working with her again for the future!"
