Thank you again for helping our French-speaking authors rewrite their manuscript so that it could be accepted for publication. I hope that you will be able to provide your very useful editing skills to other authors in the future.

It’s been a great pleasure working with Jo-Ann. She has a thorough knowledge of scientific journal publication processes and other related disciplines. I did not need to go far to get help as she was very informative and supportive. I strongly feel that a lot of work was delivered on time because of her attentiveness and timeliness!

I worked closely with Jo-Ann to implement a new global publication process in the region. It was a pleasure to work with her as she’s very attentive to the needs of her customers. She is keen to seek feedback and quick to address issues in a very constructive, pragmatic way.
