"Lisa Matsumura is an absolutely wonderful proofreader. She has proofread all of our different forms of text, including our recital programs with hundreds of students, pieces and composers, brochures, advertising, forms, contracts, policies, and written communication with both staff and customers. Nothing went passed her! She not only caught errors we did not notice, but had alternative ways of structuring the sentences to gain clarity, precision and accessibility to the audience the communication was targeting."

"Lisa, thank you so much for editing my business brochure. Your attention to detail was needed to complete my brochure and allowed me to stand apart as a professional in my field. I really appreciate your service."

"Lisa Matsumura has edited both short work and novels for me. She is careful, and thorough. What I like the most about working with her is how good she is at communicating if there are any questions regarding style choice. This matters more in a novel, of course, but I really appreciate her polite and professional approach. I plan on using Lisa extensively for future work and highly recommend her to others."
