"The Grammar Geek is an excellent wordsmith! He not only edited our magazine copy to conform to AP Style, but he also trimmed articles to fit the page, created fun and punchy titles, and reviewed designed pages prior to publication. Dave is punctual, professional and a joy to work with each month. I considered him my main editorial sounding board, and I strongly recommend his services."
