Editing a music dissertation

Working with you made an overwhelming process feel much more manageable, and I’m very grateful for that.

Editing a learning-program proposal
“Keith’s attention to detail was amazing. His focus on the little things truly made my project come to life. Which is exactly what it needed.
My document was a tale of two halves, the first half was a non-academic research essay, the second was an experiential learning program proposal. Keith’s work brought better focus to the essay in the first half and brought greater clarity to the program initiative examples in the second half. Keith’s work was subtle, he fine-tuned every aspect of the document in a way that I was not expecting. He brought it up to the level it deserved to be.
I would not hesitate to recommend Keith. His precision to detail, his ability to focus on and accurately execute the small, often overlooked aspects of a task or project is first rate.”
