"For five years, Claire worked for me as an assistant at our natural wellness center, Healing Essence Center. She managed and produced our bi-weekly newsletter, and website. She also created beautiful, clear articulate fliers, documents for our numerous events. Claire is efficient thoughtful, intelligent, creative, and is an excellent problem solver. She is a fast learner and always responded efficiently and effectively when technical problems occurred and knew exactly who to reach out to if she needed any assistance. Claire also has a lot of integrity, a calm demeanor and is a pleasure to work with!"

"For more than six years, I have had the pleasure of working with Claire as copy editor on all my writing projects. Here, I pointedly use the phrase 'working with' Claire because our relationship as writer and copy editor is truly collaborative.
I am a currently a professor of English; and as part of my teaching and service duties at my institution, I am required to publish regularly on my research specialties. It has been my good fortune to have Claire copy-edit my work. She is very knowledgeable about any style guide formatting that your work might require, including MLA, Chicago, and APA. She is trustworthy and highly reliable; she always met my deadlines. As importantly, her fees are very reasonable. I highly recommend Claire Pavlik Purgus for any of your editing or writing needs."

"Claire worked with me for a couple of years in editing the Greater Boston Trout Unlimited Newsletter. She brought a high level of expertise and completely changed the look and feel of the newsletter. It resulted in an improved Chapter Newsletter that garnered praise and good comments. Claire can take a fair amount of that credit as I relied heavily on her organizational and technical skills."

  — Bill Pastuszek, Greater Boston Trout Unlimited chapter president

"Claire did an outstanding/superior job of copy editing for me. I have many publications and Claire, by far, is the best copy editor I ever had. She is also a great communicator and sent quick replies to all my questions. Claire met my deadline with ease. She is very fair and reasonable with her pricing. I can highly recommend Claire and I plan to send her two more of my papers to edit in the coming months."

  —Jack C., Shrewsbury, Massachusetts

 

"I relied on Claire to make the final review for the second edition of "Firebelly." She was a meticulous copyeditor and proofreader, noted technical oversights missed by prior editors, and made key content suggestions that I incorporated into the text. I appreciated her professionalism and her timeliness."

  —J. C. Michaels, Boston, Massachusetts

"Claire has been a great help, always completing work well before the deadlines. She has a strong natural style of editing, and is able to turn "Japlish" into natural English. She is a professional, and also a pleasure to correspond with."
