"Cindy, thank you! Thank you! I absolutely love your edit. You help me see things that otherwise I would not have
seen no matter how much I read and go over the chapters, unles someone points them out to me."
- Clara Stein, Florida, March 2011
"Cindy, you are a great editor. Thank you so much for your edits and your kind words! Your edits are really helpful
to me. You make my work more polished. I think it is a wise investment."

"I think your comments are very insightful and will help me figure out what I want to say, especially in the introduction.
Your editing technique is really what I was looking for!... Thanks again for your positive comments, too. They help me get
through this last - and most crucial - period of the writing process."
- Kirsten Krick-Aigner, Wofford College, May 2009
"Your revisions are very good and I have incorporated most of them into the updated versions. Your comments are especially
constructive and critical, which I value a lot."
- Guangqing Chi, Mississippi State University, February 2009
"What I appreciate about you - is not only are you providing your skills as an editor - which includes the 'nuts and
bolts' - like wording - phrases - grammatical work, etc... but also your insight - suggestions, ideas... giving me the perspective
of a potential reader - providing me with questions - or like warnings of how someone would read it this way - as opposed
to my intent. .... Thank you also for showing my 'blind spots' - things that I have done repeatedly that you corrected.
.... Also - letting me know when you think there needs perhaps a pause here - or/and showing more action between the dialogue."
- Raymond Wilson, Arkansas, March 2008
"You certainly did a marvelous job in style editing the manuscript in making it more reader friendly and provocative
in solving mysteries of posed questions in each chapter and subchapter."

"...demonstrates a real passion for publishing and real talent... will continue [with PPL] in freelance capacity."
- From the intern evaluation from Peachtree Publishers, Ltd., April 2004
"Cindy, I want to thank you for being our editor. I am now convinced that everybody that writes for publication should
have an editor. Only an editor can uncover hidden information that the writer subconsciously assumed to be known and omitted
in the document. Only an editor can objectively read a document without any personal involvement and can therefore correct
mistakes made in any of the sentences. I am very happy to have you as my editor; my writing has become much more professional
and is better understood by our readers."
- Bernd Greulich, President of Atlanta Photographic Society, November 2003
"Oh my God, Cindy, you’re incredible!!!!"
- Jerre Brisky, Dad’s Garage Theatre Company, October 2003
"Good editors like Cindy Michaels consider issues of readability and usability, analyze content organization, and
ensure the text contains a clear and concise vocabulary, using active and passive voice strategically. One of her greatest
strengths while editing my dissertation was to make specific recommendations for revising all of these areas rather than simply
communicating what was wrong or lacking. Having worked with Mrs. Michaels, I am confident that she will conduct a rhetorical
edit to ensure that the writer's intended message speaks loudly and clearly to the intended audience."
- James Martinez, Georgia State University, June 2003
"You are a breath of fresh air to work with.”
- James Martinez, Georgia State University, May 2003
"You did a great job on [Harry Miller's Vision of Arkansas, 1900-1910].... And of course you did nice work
on Happily Ever After… all your suggestions and corrections were very clear and on the mark!"
- Liz Parkhurst, C.E.O. of August House Publishers, November 2002
"…proofreaders are not usually included on the title page of a book, but since you did so much and took such
good care of Anderson’s Have I Told You…, the production editor is going to include you on the title page.
What an honor for your first project with August House!"
- Jody McNeese Keene, August House Publishers, September 2000
