TESTIMONIALS

 

 

“We have employed Julie Winn at Purpleampersand as a freelance editor at Attila Glatz Concert Productions and she has proven herself to go way beyond the call of duty. From copy editing to fact checking, Julie is meticulous and thorough. We particularly appreciate her gentle nature in suggesting alternate phrases in her substantive edits; her instincts are always right, and she communicates them both succinctly and respectfully. I'd highly recommend Julie for any and all editing projects.”

-Andrea Warren, Director of Marketing and Communications, Attila Glatz Concert Productions

 

 

"Julie Winn serves as the copy editor of our monthly newspapers. She works quickly and accurately in both copy editing and fact checking. She is meticulous in her editing and proofreading. Julie also possesses a good ear for the most felicitous turn of phrase while honouring the author’s intentions and voice. As a result, her editing always makes each article grammatically correct and stylistically sound. Easy to work with, sensitive to the work of our writers and able to communicate directly and succinctly about the work at hand, Julie is a central member of our team. I recommend Julie highly for copy editing, fact checking and proofreading projects. Combine those abilities with a creative mind and a prose stylist’s sensitivity and Julie will make anyone who employs her very fortunate."

"Working with Julie at Purpleampersand was a wonderful experience. I presented her with a draft for a fourth-year university seminar paper that made perfect sense to me (because I knew what I was trying to say). Julie did far more than point out my grammatical and spelling errors. Julie showed me where my ideas failed to flow, where my message was unclear. Her edits often included the words ‘I think you mean ...’ or, ‘I think what you are trying to say is ...’ and she was always correct. The finished product was crisp, clear, and clean. I would happily recommend Julie's editing skills to everyone. One day, when I get around to writing my great Canadian novel, Julie will be the person I call to edit it."
