Testimonials

“Arlene Prunkl did a wonderful job of proofreading my material for my book, Financial Freedom On $1 A Day. I am honored to use my book as an advertisement of Arlene’s work. Her careful proofreading skills contributed to a fine book, which, to my great pleasure, is doing really well. We already have a Spanish edition in the works! She’s fast and accurate, and I highly recommend her services.”

“Granville Island Publishing has retained the editorial services of Arlene Prunkl in the capacity of copy editor and proofreader since March of 2003. During this time, she has worked on seven books for us, and has proven to be adept, competent and highly professional. She has a fine eye for the language and well-considered suggestions for change. I admire her enthusiasm and passion for precision, and I look forward to a continued mutually enhancing business relationship.”

“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.”

“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.”
