The cover of the Insiders Guide to Home Equity Borrowing by Pete Hitesman.

“Arlene Prunkl just finished editing, proofreading and creating the index for my new book. I could not be more pleased with the results of her work. Arlene worked relentlessly and tirelessly on the project, bringing it in ahead of time and on budget. Furthermore, I quickly learned to depend on her comments and suggestions, and was amazed at the level of detail and skill she brought to the work. This was my first book and knowing that Arlene was tackling the job with a high level of professionalism and perfection eased my stress level considerably! In addition, she was a pleasure to communicate with—my e-mails received lightning quick response, and she was always friendly and personal, yet professional. Before this project, I wondered why I needed an editor; now I realize that the critical role she played could never have been bypassed if I wanted a professional-quality book.”

“The work Arlene did for me involved desktop publishing, typesetting and layout, using the commercial typesetting package, LaTeX. LaTeX is a powerful but fussy text editing program which Arlene seems to have mastered. After several editorial revisions, the camera-ready final copy was perfect, including complicated figures and many different text fonts. I was very proud to submit the article to an international conference and scientific journal for publication. Arlene is pleasant to work with, efficient, and my finished work testifies to her high level of competence.”

The cover of Buyer-Approved Selling by Michael Schell

“I’m delighted to provide Arlene with a ringing endorsement for her work as an editor on my book Buyer-Approved Selling. Arlene substantively edited many parts of the book with an eagle eye for errors and attention to the smallest detail. I valued her critical comments and suggestions, her ease and skill with language, and her sincere and caring approach to the work. My book has exceeded expectations in already being in its second edition, due in part to Arlene’s involvement.”
