“I’ve relied on Hallie to proofread and edit marketing and advertising deliverables, as well as pitch decks and other work for my clients, and she is simply the best. She catches every detail, she suggests excellent alternatives if the wording or sentence structure is not technically an error but could be improved, and she’s just a pleasure to work with. Great sense of humor and terrific sensitivity to the nuances of language.”
