Testimonials:

“What I’m most grateful for in working with Stephen on our son’s college-admission essays is how he teaches you to edit yourself. Our son became a measurably better writer with Stephen’s coaching, and he learned how to tell a story. He was very proud of his submissions because it was his voice and his heart. As a parent, it’s a gift to have the kind of teacher who helps his students see their way to clear, compelling writing. Just witnessing the process benefitted me, too! I highly, highly recommend Stephen.

–Lisa O’Brien, parent

“I feel lucky to have used the services of Stephen Leon for copy-editing my manuscripts, long and short. He’s been one of the fastest, most comprehensive, and most conscientious editors I’ve worked with in 25 years of getting my work into print. I recommend him without reservation for both academic and general-interest publishing. He’s saved me huge headaches and time delays in moving my work from draft to finished form. Don’t hesitate for a minute to sign him up for any an all of your editorial needs!”

–Michael Hill, author and professor of English, the University at Albany
