    Mr. James had the profession skills and knowledge required of this project. I am overall satisfied with the quality of his final work. However, Mr. James failed to deliver the project on time and admittedly the time requirements may have been too limited which I cannot hold against hiim though he made several promises to deliver but failed to do so. I would Mr. James again.

    Editing project was done on time and for affordable price. Freelancer fixed most of the mistakes, but didn't quite understand the concept of my project, so I had to change back some things that he fixed. I was asking for the suggestions about the 'flow' of the text but haven't received any feedback. I can recommend this editor for more serious editing project, as his english is very proper. My project was lighter so our styles didn't match.
