Reviews on Nikki
1 recommendation
Nikki has provided editing services and grammar instruction to my husband, who authors scientific publications. She has provided invaluable guidance to him and greatly improved his written product. Nikki is always careful to make sure that she understands what he intends to communicate before editing so that the meaning of his writing is enhanced, rather than "lost in translation." Most importantly, she consistently provides a cogent explanation of her edits to enable my husband carry those lessons through to his future writing projects. I highly recommend Nikki because of her patience and diligence in applying her editing and teaching skills.
