Client Reviews

“It is so easy as a writer to overlook words and punctuation, and a second set of professional eyes is critical to achieving perfection.

You have a strong appreciation of business, and bring to your profession a real sense of the tone and texture needed to clearly communicate to one’s target audience. Your understanding of the need for clarity in a reader-friendly style is very evident in your editing work. You are able to suggest words and phrases that are meaningful to the intended audience. When I look over your editing, I appreciate the way you have enhanced the message by your editor touch.”
Cliff Bilyea, Management Consultant and co-author, The Valuation of Business.

“DR Matthews and Associates (DRM) is a consulting firm that provides ski area planning and resort development expertise to clients all over North America. I’ve contracted Jocelyn on a number of occasions to edit and format our proposals to clients. I have come to trust her editing skills in reviewing and refining our documents.”
Dan Matthews, DRM & Associates Inc.

“Until we talked, I had suffered the agonies of editing my own writing—a real danger—or worse still, asking my wife to do it. I cannot think of a better way to jeopardize a solid marriage. Also, I write for deadline and finding someone who will do that is not easy.”
Noel Bates, Land Planning Consultant

“Jocelyn is a versatile and engaging writer and a sharp-eyed editor. A quick study and forever optimistic, Jocelyn always adds value to an organization at both personal and professional levels.”

“From prior experience with Jocelyn, involving both her writing and editing skills, and her business expertise, she was a preferred contractor to complete this task for me.

Jocelyn accepted and completed the task in a most professional and timely manner. Given she was not involved in the design or delivery of the workshops, and knew none of the history of the staff of the section, she worked under somewhat of a disadvantage in designing an appropriate format to satisfy our needs and synthesize the quantity of “notes” we forwarded. Using her own initiative and excellent interpersonal skills, Jocelyn contacted staff as appropriate to clarify the information we forwarded.

I was most impressed that Jocelyn not only provided very acceptable interpretation and documentation of this material, but also a unique framework for the document which indicated gaps in our strategic planning exercise. Once completed, the design of this framework allowed me to also use the final document for communication and marketing purposes, and for managing staff performance against objectives and products identified. These uses had not been specified as part of the original contract. The final product, therefore, became a reflection of both the writing and the business expertise that Jocelyn can provide.”
