Testimonials
I am SO grateful to Lois for her meticulous work checking those endnote references. She has done a superb job. I had no idea of the extent of this and hugely appreciate Lois’s careful work checking each of those references, as well as formatting the references a/c CUP style. So this is just a heartfelt ‘THANK YOU’ for this outstanding (back-breaking) work!!”

“What you want in a copyeditor is someone who doesn’t miss a trick. That’s Lois. She. Caught. Everything. And clearly improved the quality of my book. In addition to catching grammatical goofs, she checked that web addresses actually worked, and that words that were trade- or service-marked were properly presented. I found her to be easy to work with, she listened, and didn’t try to change my ‘author voice. Lois is now my go-to copy editor, as she might be for you.”

Lois Smith served as the technical editor for our book Questionnaire Design, which is part of the Human Factors and Ergonomics Society’s Users’ Guides to Human Factors and Ergonomics Methods series. [She edited and project managed the other books in the series as well.]. We were fortunate to have her guidance and encouragement. She rendered structure to the writing task and forced us to answer why we included specific material in the book. Her skills went well beyond the routine checking for spelling and grammatical errors; she made recommendations regarding structuring the text and developing advertising for our intended audience. We recommend her wholeheartedly and without reservation.

I have known Lois for many years, and first met her when she was at the Human Factors Ergonomics Society. Lois’s assistance with copyediting and proofreading helped incredibly in showcasing my graphic design services and products. Her attention to detail, grammar, and overall tone from a marketing and collaborative standpoint put the finishing touches on the copy and content for my company’s website–evamarievargo.com. For this I am very grateful and appreciative.
