A short note to thank you for your brilliant dissection of my two manuscripts. I am enthused rather than dismayed.
The quality of your work is such that I visualise you as the central figure in a novel called The Book Doctor who Refused to Bulk Bill, with the sub-title Penny Dreadful, Turned Into Classics. -Athol

WOW!!!
I have never received such useful critical feed-back on anything I've produced in my life, Margaret. Big mobs of thanks for all your comments and suggestions. -Shirley

You did some work on a minor dissertation I wrote about replicating communities online. You helped change it from gibberish to a good read.
Thank you for the help. A distinction was awarded. I am not happy - I am beyond that. I am walking on air!
Thanks again! -Arthur

Several months back, I dug up a proofing you did on a rather tedious, impossible short story that you had ripped to pieces. It inspired me to rewrite it and it has turned out to be one of the best things I have. This time, I followed all of your advice, and you were right there on every point. You really hated that one, but I'm sure you'd love it now. You gave me a whole course in writing from that one critque. -Jack

My supervisor was very complimentary towards your work. -Donna

I received the manuscript and I can see from the outset that it is a thorough job. Thank you. I am grateful for the suggestions and am mulling them over. Some of them, I know I will use, though, as yet, I have no firm idea yet what the ending will be. However, thanks to you, my brain is racing with possibilities. It is a feast rather than a famine.
Thanks again Margaret. I like your shoot from the hip approach and you are fair in the monetary end of it as well. Any chance I get, I will tout your abilities to others.
You clarified so many important elements for me in the editing that it would be remiss of me not to publicly acknowledge that fact. Jack

I'd say you touched all the bases in a review that was more than I expected. I couldn't have sent it to a better critic. May your career find all the success that should be coming its way. Your work surely deserves it. Wayne G

Thank you very much for your excellent and efficient editing!!(unlike my supervisor who has not returned my work!) Your 'colourful' editing is very easy to follow. Thank you again. Best, Tomoko
