At first, the price seemed to be a bit high for a single review. However, all my doubts were gone after I had read through my revised essay. Never before had anyone taken such a good care of my writing. Certainly going to request Susan as my editor again.

My Editor was extremely helpful on all fronts. Her critique was clear, intelligible and very relevant to my work. Furthermore on the second edit she assisted me in cutting down my essay to fit a word limit, which I understand is not a usual practice - Thus she went beyond the call of duty and I very much hope to use essay edge again as a result.

I would like to commend my editor Susan L. for her excellent assistance. I believe it was a good match for my particular situation. I trusted Susan's edits, comments, and suggestions on my graduate school materials. She was incredibly prompt and responsive to my emails. It was a pleasure working with her. I rate and recommend her very highly.

I also needed some help adding 2 sentences to one paragraph after receiving the final version. The person was very nice and helpful, replying fast and happy about helping me.

I was pleasantly surprised about the product I received. Susan was great at getting me to think about my essay's real message and what was lacking. I reworked it and it is much better. I think her critiques were spot on!

Essay edge helped me tremendously. I feared bringing my essay to my teacher because to me she appeared not to know a lot about english and College essay writing. My editor did a fabulous job fixing my structure. Plus the turn around time was amazing.

I've used essay edge three times. The first editor was great. The second editor was good. The third editor (this editor) was the best! Made lots of changes that still kept the point of my originall essay. I will use this editor every time going forward for any future essay needs!
