Susannah Rodriguez Drissi, PhD, Faculty in Writing Programs, University of California, Los Angeles and author of Until We’re Fish (Propertius Press, 2020):
Faye Roberts is a brilliant copyeditor. I was unequivocally impressed with her patience, dedication, and attention to detail. I have trusted her with big and small projects, and my work has benefited tremendously from her razor-sharp skills. I will trust her again in the future when my next manuscript is ready for her, and I highly recommend her to any new and seasoned author.
Peer Fiss, Professor of Management, University of Southern California:
I’ve worked with Faye several times and each time she was terrific—thoughtful and thorough, attentive to all details, prompt in her email replies, and amazingly quick in her turnaround. I’ve worked with many copy editors, and if you are looking for someone reliable with great skills and a wonderful touch, look no further than Faye. I recommend her highly.
Bob Sylva, author of The King of Karaoke:
Writing is fraught with self-inflicted mortifications. Faye recently scrutinized my debut collection of short stories, some 50,000-plus words, a constellation of punctuation marks, contestable syntax, shifting tenses, a continuity of events and various allusions, not all of them in rapport much less correct. Faye’s eye is scathing, her reproof gentle. Do you know the difference in the works of Hokusai and Hiroshige? Faye does. I was impressed. No, I was relieved. Faye tosses out a life ring. Grab it.
Lourdes Venard, Editor and President, Comma Sense Editing, LLC:
Faye has worked with me on several projects. She has a natural flair for spotting not only grammatical errors, but also language that is wordy, awkward, or weak. Time after time, she spotted embarrassing flaws and suggested rewrites that made a piece much stronger. I would recommend her for any project. She definitely has the know-how to edit fiction as well as general nonfiction works . . .
Dr. Guled Salah Barre, author of Federalism Imperative in Post-Conflict Africa: The Case of Somalia
I have thoroughly enjoyed working with you on my manuscript over the past few weeks. Your meticulous copy editing has significantly enhanced the quality of the document. Thank you for your dedication and expertise. I look forward to collaborating with you on future projects.
Linda Townsdin, Author of the Spirit Lake Mystery series:
Faye Roberts is a pleasure to work with. She’s knowledgeable, professional and thorough. I needed a quick turnaround on my recent manuscript and appreciated her willingness to accommodate. I highly recommend her editing services!
Maria Gebhardt, past editor, Florida Libraries:
Faye Roberts is an outstanding editor that I highly recommend. She is a seasoned professional with expert knowledge of the English language that ensures any piece of work from simple content to an in-depth article is well-written with the audience in mind. Faye has been editing articles for Florida Libraries for numerous years and has made excellent suggestions to improve academic articles read by librarians throughout the entire state of Florida.
Kathy Blevins, RN, ARNP:
Faye has been very helpful to edit several short stories for me prior to having them printed in a local publication. The stories have been so well received that one a month is published as a regular in the paper. She has been exceedingly prompt and has explained the corrections well.
