“Melody Herrington is a phenomenal editor, copy editor, professional, and person!  I have relied on her superb knowledge of language for many years: she turns garbled, cumbersome phrases and foggy thoughts into lucid, sensible, jargon-free, and frequently (dare I say it?) eloquent text.  Her work ethic is outstanding, her work standards exceedingly high.  She is the best communications expert I have ever known.  I would trust her completely on any editing task, and I have relied on her for unerringly thoughtful, intelligent judgment on matters large and small.  She delivers timely, beautiful results for all kinds of writers, including newbies, experienced scientists, struggling students, those whose first language is not English, and managers of websites and large organizations.  Remarkably, she is also unfailingly friendly, diplomatic, honest, and empathetic.  She is the sort of editor any writer would be lucky to find.  She has my highest recommendation!” -Laurence J. O'Toole, Distinguished Research Professor Emeritus, University of Georgia

“Melody was an absolute life saver to me!! At the end of writing your dissertation, the last thing you have brain capacity for is to make sure it is formatted correctly. Through the recommendation of a friend I reached out to Melody about her formatting services. She worked with my hectic schedule (I was writing right up to the deadline!) and got my perfectly formatted dissertation back to me in what felt like lightning speed. Not to mention she was kind and encouraging along the way! I will be forever grateful for her impeccable work that saved me so much time. Thanks Melody, can’t wait to recommend you to every other PhD candidate I meet!” - Emily Zier, MPA, PhD

“During years of working together, I observed her conscientious, highly competent performance of her responsibilities. Among other strengths, she is very intelligent and highly skilled in matters of language, grammar, and expression. I always requested that she review any written document that I prepared for circulation to the students and faculty. She consistently served as a valuable resource in this capacity.  I intend to call on her for proofreading and copyediting services, as well as for more general advice about expression and presentation, in her new role.  I will strongly recommend her for such services.”   Hal G. Rainey, Professor Emeritus, Department of Public Administration and Policy, the University of Georgia.

“Melody Herrington’s thorough and timely editorial support on my dissertation was invaluable. With her input, I could submit my research for review knowing that my work was presented in the best possible light and that reviewers could focus their attention on my ideas and not my grammar.” -  Megan LePere-Schloop, PhD, Assistant Professor, Glenn College of Public Affairs, Ohio State University, Best Dissertation 2018, Academy of Management, Public and Nonprofit Division   

“Dating back to the first things I ever published, I have often turned to Melody for help expert editing. I keep coming back to her, and my projects keep improving as a result! Highly recommended" - Dr. Justin Bullock, Assistant Professor, Texas A&M University.
