“Sarah Dawson has line-edited several books for me, and I plan to bring her more work. She is a professional in every sense. I feel competent to say this having fifty years of professional experience as an author, editor, publisher, and journalist under my belt, along with English and business degrees. Sarah is trustworthy, dedicated, detail-oriented, very intelligent and thoughtful, and up to date on all major style guides (MLA, Chicago, New York Times, etc.).”

“Sarah is an excellent editor. She is not limited to spell check and grammar check. She helps you write for clarity. She helps by looking at the content of your work and gives feedback for what a fresh-eyed person may understand. This is just what I needed as a doctoral student writing her dissertation. My work depends on expressing ideas to everyone willing to look, not just those in the field. Sarah acts as a guide and will go back and forth with you and your material. My work is still my own, but now much more effective with her expertise. I highly recommend Sarah’s services.”

“Sarah Dawson edited my book, Tainted I.C.E., for me. Her thorough command of language really helped in making sure that the my book was well expressed and free of errors. Sarah works very quickly and I have found it invaluable to have somebody format my book with a certain style. Sarah’s experience has allowed me to move on to my next piece of work in getting my book published. I plan to use Sarah’s services again, including for a book project I have coming up. I highly recommend her to anyone wanting a top-notch editor to save time and wanting to submit their work with the confidence that it has been thoroughly looked over and formatted to their particular requirements. I am genuinely impressed satisfied with the work and professionalism of Sarah Dawson.”

“Sarah Dawson performed an invaluable editorial service in helping prepare a Mission Study Report for Palisades Presbyterian Church during late August and early September, 2013. I served as Chair of a nine-member volunteer team, each of whom wrote at least one major section of the 50-page report. It became clear during the final two to three weeks before the publication deadline that we would need a professional editor to integrate the various sections in areas such as style, grammar, graphics, and overall appearance. She volunteered many hours of her time to edit the entire document, and then incorporate numerous updates, re-arrangement of sections, standardization of terminology, and appearance improvements. She maintained control of the “master copy” of the report during this period, insuring that the final version properly contained the numerous changes made just before publication. Her contribution to our efforts was a major factor in the many favorable reviews we already have received on our Mission Study Report.”
