I loved my experience with Salt and Sage! My proofreader was timely, thorough, precise and specific in her review of my work. She not only fixed my mistakes, but explained why and how she fixed them, even editing the text in my images as well. She was kind and complimentary in her letter while still pointing out my errors in a helpful way. I’d love the opportunity to work with her again!

Excellent, I worked with April and she was exceptionally helpful in editing my work. She truly understood the essense of the work, while staying true to my style. I highly recommend her.

Evan Buchholz

Salt and Sage provided a professional and welcoming experience that exceeded my expectations. The process was clear and easy to understand. The sheer amount of different editors will have me coming back if a project requires a sensitivity reading. I will be recommending them if anyone needs any editing or sensitivity reading.
