Testimonials

"Jean Mills provided Microdea with prompt and proper editing for our new web site content. The task of taking 10,000 words and adding clear and concise narrative was impressive. The turnaround was quick and finished as promised. We plan to continue to use Jean as our copy writing and editing needs grow."
Brooke Martin
Marketing and Business Development Manager
Microdea Inc.


"Every time we attempted to communicate our value proposition, we ended up with something that was wordy and not very engaging. Jean rolled up her sleeves and worked with us like a true partner. She took the time to really understand what we needed to accomplish and then delivered our message with the kind of impact that totally exceeded our expectations. She understood our audience and then hit them right between the eyes!"
Joe Mattell
Board of Governors
St. John's-Kilmarnock School


"Despite knowing the importance of good editing, I was worried about having my book edited because I feared my message would be butchered. To the contrary, Jean brought clarity to my involved message, and instead of butchering it, made it comprehensible."
Ron Lutka
President
Corporate Streamlining Company Inc
