Christen is a dedicated and skilled editor; and she is a pleasure to work with. She helped me with articles on peace building that were published in the Huffington Post. She tuned into what I, as the author, was trying to achieve and then helped my writing find the right voice. She has an eye for typos, grammatical errors, and clumsy writing; however, for me, it was her questioning approach and creativity that made the biggest difference. I recommend her to anyone who would like to maximise the potential of their own work, to learn and to improve their writing.

Working with Christen made the hectic period before submitting my dissertation a much more tolerable one. Christen was very responsive and quick in her work, even though I had a hard time following my own deadlines, which meant she had to be even quicker. Her editing work was great. As I am not a native English speaker, it was important to me that she would keep my style of writing, which she did accurately. Moreover, working with a lot of interviews and translations, she managed to stay true to the different voices and styles, and hone them just in the exact amount in order for them to be true both to the English language and grammar, as well as to the speakers. Being an academic herself, she was well aware of academic editing requirements, and also helped to proofread and wrap up the references. But most importantly, she is a great person to work with—kind, nice, and smart!
