Testimonials


I worked with Candace as I wrote my dissertation in partial fulfillment of my PhD in Curriculum Studies. She was an invaluable resource because of her impeccable technical skills, but even more so because of her deep love and talent for teaching writing. Her instructive feedback taught me to be courageous in finding my voice amongst the scholars I so greatly admire. I will continue to use her services and will continue to recommend her to all of my colleagues. Amy Hauenstein, Chicago, IL


Candace Craig was my trusted editor throughout completion of my doctoral coursework. Her mastery of the conventions of writing, in conjunction with her extensive vocabulary and knowledge of the mechanics of APA format, made her a valuable asset during this process. It is my intention to enlist editing Candace’s services for the dissertation phase of my PhD. Holly Sandler, New York, NY


James and Candace were very easy to work with, punctual, and delivered superb work regarding my finalized graduate school application letters (Statement of purpose primarily). As a scientist, my language can be dry and stilted, which stylistically is not what would attract an admissions team at a top performing institution. The result was being accepted to several top tier institutions, all with fully funded programs and generous stipends. Scott, Adelaide, Australia

James and Candace are excellent, professional editors. They have assisted me with multiple projects of varying lengths and purposes. With each project, their editing and suggestions are very thorough and effective, helping me to realize the vision I had for each piece. Whilst I have always struggled with writing, James and Candace make the process easy and fun, with excellent results that retain your original voice. Luke, Orange, California
