Testimonials

This service was better than I have ever received from publishing houses' copy-editors or colleagues. David delivered a finely (re)crafted (more than re-drafted) manuscript in less than 24 hours (during a week-end, too!). I used the word "crafted" because, while respecting the ideas contained in my essay, David did not change their significance. He simply allowed me to express them with eloquence, clarity, and elegance. As a result, my argument, I believe, is now far more compelling than in its original version. I highly recommend this service.

As a writing professor, I know what a special eye it takes to be an effective copyeditor. Dave Snyder has the eye. His work is outstanding and his suggestions well considered. For example, I've had great conversations with him about the pros and cons of comma placement—-nerdy to some folks but invigorating to a writer like me who has strong feelings about punctuation! I always feel like he's a collaborator who's trying to help me achieve the best possible version of my writing.

Dave's skills and professionalism are evident from day one. He sets you at ease with his personable demeanor and is always willing to talk through things on the phone. As a first time author, he helped me overcome some hurdles that have set me up to be more successful in the future. I can't recommend Dave and his services enough!

I am not a writer, but I had a compelling story to tell. So, I wrote it. It clearly needed some work from a professional. I interviewed several editors. None of them struck me as understanding what I wanted to convey through my story. Dave, on the other hand, understood perfectly what I was trying to tell from our first (virtual) meeting. I decided to hire him to review my manuscript. What he gave back to me felt like a breath of fresh air. His in-depth edits made my story more compelling and my manuscript much more pleasant to read, without changing my voice and the message I wanted to convey. I highly recommend his services.

David J. Snyder recently completed the edit of my book. I found him to be an excellent proofreader and editor. He improved the manuscript in many ways, and I say that with 30 years’ experience as an editor myself with the United Press International (UPI) news service.
-- Lance
Working with David Snyder has been an outstanding experience. His deep editorial expertise helped transform my manuscript into a compelling, polished work. What sets him apart is the personal care, and his respectful forthrightness, that he brings to every comment and suggestion during the entire process--his feedback is not only insightful, but also encouraging and tailored to my unique voice. He’s also incredibly accessible and generous with his time, always willing to hop on a call and talk through edits. I highly recommend him to any author or any business looking for an intellectually precise, stylistically gifted, and discerning editorial mind.
-- Ross

It was an absolute privilege to work with David Snyder as an editor for my manuscript. David is the consummate professional, adept at his craft, detailed, and dedicated to providing a quality product. Any aspiring or veteran author will be impressed with his work and I do not hesitate in recommending him.
