“I know Holly Welker’s work as an astute, eloquent, and intelligent writer, as well as a remarkable editor. I have hired her editing services for several of our book writing clients. She provides excellent developmental editing services, especially for authors doing complex, academic writing. I’m often amazed at her analysis and her ability to articulate what’s working or not working in book-length manuscripts. Holly can readily identify the high level strengths and weaknesses of an author’s argument, while also providing detailed copy editing services according to the Chicago Manual of Style. She’s very reliable to cross every ‘t’ and dot every ‘i,’  and that’s not as easy as it might sound!”

“I use Holly Welker exclusively for my editing needs! She is meticulous in her work, and I trust her implicitly. Not only does she correct my errors, but she takes the time to teach me correct principles. I am a better writer for my association with her!”

“Holly Welker was an absolute joy to work with. Her commitment to bringing out the best of me, my co-author, and our analysis was such a gift. In an academic world that can be so lonely, toxic, and competitive, Holly’s collaborative spirit and intellectual generosity are truly rare.” 

“If you’re looking for an editor, writing coach, or even just someone to bounce some big-picture writing ideas off of, I’d recommend Holly Welker in a heartbeat. Her observations are trenchant and honest, and her editing is excellent. I’ve hired her for language tasks ranging from copy-editing large family journals, to feedback on poetry/essays, to extremely high-level correspondence about advanced (and, as it happens, very disturbing) psychological phenomena, and she is always up to the task, providing expansive ideas, cogent feedback, and a pathway to finished products that are absolutely top-notch.”
