Testimonials

Clients praise my prompt, incisive editing, intellectual rigor, integrity, and clear, caring communication. Here's what a few have to say about working with me.

"Such fantastic engaged commentary and editing! Thanks heaps."

—Doctoral Candidate, Social Sciences

"It is easy to lose sight of fundamental structure and communicability when writing a grant in your own field, even with every effort to describe your hypothesis and approach clearly. Oli's editing provides an attentive, holistic review that pushes you to consider the importance of each element of your writing in the context of your greater ideas, connecting the trees to the forest. Oli does this with stunning turnaround time and close attention to your specific editing needs. I highly recommend his work and only wish I had engaged Oli's services earlier in the process!"

—Physician-Scientist and Professor, Immunology

Testimonials, Cont'd

"Thank you so much for such thoughtful, incredible feedback. I am very glad that I chose to entrust my work to you, as your insights were thorough and put very kindly. I am so impressed by and appreciative of the level of professionalism and consideration that you have put in your work. I cannot thank you enough. Truly outstanding work and a very clear way of communicating! I am incredibly grateful to you."

—Doctoral Candidate, Humanities

"Dr Stephano helped me edit my dissertation in the most professional and timely way a stressed-out PhD candidate could ask for. Not only did he do the editing thoroughly, but he also pushed me to expand on my analysis by providing me with helpful feedback throughout my chapters. He was very responsive, and incredibly kind and understanding when I asked him for an accommodation. Also, I think it can be quite scary to entrust your work to someone, and I appreciated that he turned out to be a very helpful and kind editor. I highly recommend his services!"
