"Lyric has been great to work with. She's responsive, flexible, and thorough in her editing. We provided her with a rundown of our quirks and preferences in a few editing scenarios, and she learned our oddities and implemented them immediately. She has improved the articles we've handed her without fail. I highly recommend Lyric as a copy editor or proofreader. "

Plus, the fact that she’s easy to communicate with makes the process even more seamless. You will not be left disappointed!"
