Client Testimonials

Here's what a few clients have to say about their experiences working with Cranky Editor:

"In my 17+ years of public relations, Tamar Love has to be one of the most professional and talented writers with whom I have ever had the pleasure of working. She pays close attention to detail and always delivers on time. She understands that in public relations, timing is everything, and accuracy is equally as important. I highly recommend Tamar to anyone who values creativity and clarity in public relations and marketing communications."

Andrea Burnett
PR Director, Chronicle Books

"Tamar is able to discover the author's intent and edit in a way to make the manuscript richer and fuller—without imposing her own ideas of what the text could/should be."

Amy Johnston
Poet, Teacher

"Tamar is one of the most professional, efficient and skillful editors I have ever worked with. Her insights and creativity, together with her sensitivity to my own style, have produced a quality manuscript. Tamar is to writing what Michelangelo is to art: She stays with you until you are completely satisfied. You will have absolutely no regrets contracting with Tamar."

Joseph F. Sica
Priest, Storyteller and Motivational Speaker

"I have been extremely pleased with the work Tamar has done. Her insights into the manuscripts have been invaluable and on point. I highly recommend her services."

Katy Keim
Vice President of Marketing

"Tamar Love has come through countless times when I thought there was no chance of completing site updates on time. Not only does she complete editing and writing tasks on a quick and efficient basis, she also manages to do it all while turning our at best draft copies into flowing, clear and concise pieces."

Jocelyn Saurini
General Manager, MyPleasure.com

"After years of searching, I finally found an editor I could trust completely. Not only are her research and writing skills superb, but she is fast, professional and extremely open to suggestions. She is a pleasure to work with and has directly contributed to the success of Sexuality at About.com."

Dr. Sandor Gardos
Sexuality Guide, About.com

"Ms. Love's efforts were instrumental in landing a huge trade book contract that will, hopefully, form the keystone of an entire series of other trade books. I highly recommend her services."

David R. Simon, PhD
Professor, UC Berkeley & Author

"Tamar Love is one of the best editors I've had the good fortune to work with. She has an uncanny ability to improve a document while seamlessly maintaining the voice of the author—a talent not easily found. By using Tamar, I knew that the job would be done well the first time. She saved me much time and stress."

Judith M. Hochhauser

"Working with Tamar was a true joy. She was able to interpret my history, current situation and goals and create a genuine and personal resume that has received numerous compliments from my clients. She is very timely in her work, and found effective and creative ways to make my resume sound like it was me talking to someone, instead of reading a boring history of my work life."
