For the past three years, Suzanne has managed the Canton-Potsdam Hospital Foundation’s Annual Fund Report. She has been responsible for interviewing and creating profiles for patients, donors, and physicians as well as writing medical-related stories on topics such as cancer care and women’s health. During the time that Suzanne has partnered with the Foundation, we experienced a brand transition. Suzanne did not miss a beat and was able to develop text and images that aligned with the new brand. Suzanne is highly professional and established a great rapport with patients, donors, and physicians.

Suzanne’s ability to implement the fundamentals of editing including grammar, spelling and punctuation is excellent. She is adept at identifying awkward passages that needed to be addressed. Best of all, Suzanne is a pleasure to work and can accommodate a fast turnaround time. I highly recommend Suzanne Smith for your editing needs.

Rarely can one find a good academic paper copyeditor - one who can simplify expressions to ensure readability and remain faithful and precise with the original meaning. Suzanne is one of the rare few!

Suzanne is not only an accomplished and meticulous copyeditor, she has an almost preternatural ability to capture and enhance an author’s voice. She similarly can adapt her editorial skills to a wide range of genres, from scientific and technical texts to commercial and marketing copy. This versatility really places her in a league of her own with respect to other copy editors with whom I have worked.
