Offering outstanding editing and writing consulting in the St. Louis area and worldwide for over 30 years. We would love to hear from you!
Three sample reviews:
"Richard is the most professional, responsive, and caring editor you'll find: I highly recommend him! His editorial wisdom and precision are unmatched (as a non-English native speaker working in US and UK academic contexts, I have tried several editors during the past 5 years so my evaluation of Richard's performance builds on a rich sample). Richard masterfully edited my work (from cover letters to research articles), taking care of grammar, style, and impact. He also paid attention to my communicative goals and to the 'tone of voice' I wanted my texts to have.
"The high quality of Richard's editorial work is matched by a calm attitude and good energies in his relationship with his clients. I met Richard at a very stressful time in my life, when I was applying for academic jobs and building up my CV with submissions to peer-reviewed journals. I know from experience that Richard is the professional and reliable editor you want to have for your important challenges.
"One of the last projects Richard worked on for me was the application for a permanent lecturer position at a prestigious university. My application materials were praised by the committee. I got the job and I am very grateful to Richard for his help with this great result!

"This is my first attempt to have a document editor and reviewer service. From the moment I contacted Richard, he was extremely prompt and professional and delivered services of high quality. I wonder how he is such a workaholic. I saw him spending long hours and met my time crunch. In this short engagement period, I have found Richard to be a service provider who clearly makes 300% effort to understand your expectations, and once he commits, he delivers as promised and much more. I would not hesitate to contact him again for similar services and would gladly recommend him to anyone who wants quality document review and editing services. Thank you, Richard, for your timely help!

"Excellent, excellent, excellent work! A godsend! Thank you for all you do!

P.S. As of this September (2025), my current or recent projects include a 21,000-word book on self-actualization by a licensed professional counselor in Dallas, a book of personal reflections by a writer in New York, a résumé and a series of legal documents by a St. Louisan for his ongoing litigation, documents of an academic nature by a university dean in Arkansas and short stories by a St. Louisan, all of which I am editing or have edited and provided in-depth feedback on.
Thank you, and I look forward to helping you with YOUR writing project soon!
