what people are saying
Your writing matters.
Lisa Rose, M.A., has worked with researchers, fiction and non-fiction authors, students, and entrepreneurs from all over the world. Whatever you write, whatever your goal—it is important.
Here is just what a few clients have to say…
“Our publishing house sent Lisa a manuscript for copy editing, and were incredibly impressed. She caught issues that had eluded us through multiple rounds of editing. In general, the process was very thorough and Lisa was always quick to respond to us and send updates. We’ll certainly be working with her again and can’t recommend her services enough.”
~ Zareen Khan
Founder of Editio Publishing
“Lisa Rose did a phenomenal job editing a writing sample that consisted of two chapters of my mental health memoir. Line by line, she provided constructive feedback on ways for me to improve the manuscript. She has keen attention to detail, and her suggestions were spot on for fixing my mistakes of “telling” and using filter words. Through the process, I learned a lot, and I would absolutely consider working with her again in the future!”

“In 2020, I reached out to Lisa Rose for urgently needed assistance, which she provided on time and with high quality. The Director of MTI’s National Transportation Security Center and I were working on a much-anticipated report exploring when attacks in developed countries happened more often in peak or non-peak hours, and also when the most lethal attacks happened.
We needed someone who could quickly learn the subject matter, and also read Spanish language sources and research a series of attacks that took place in Santiago, Chile, in 2019.
Lisa Rose found, translated, and analyzed a number of these sources in a way that provided invaluable information for the report, and helped us code the attacks in our database. The report got a great deal of positive attention within the transit community.
She was a great asset and a delight to work with, and in fact we asked her to join our team on a more permanent basis but unfortunately, she was unable to.
I highly recommend her as a resourceful, responsible and agile researcher and writer.”

“Lisa is our go-to for all things editing, writing, and communications. She is patient, kind, and remarkably dedicated to her work. No matter the project, she is proactive and professional.
Our work relies on high-quality, objective language to best present often-technical details of in-depth research. Everything we do must meet the highest standards in order to influence change in a meaningful way. Lisa is always keen to understand the big picture while maintaining a careful, detail-oriented approach to each project. She has helped us improve the quality of countless projects--even on the tightest of deadlines.
She has been vital to the success of our organization; assisting with numerous reports, speeches, articles, blogs, and press releases. She has learned my "voice" and produces deliverables that are close to publication-ready on the first round! Never have I experienced such success with a communications professional. I give Lisa Rose my highest personal recommendation.”
Executive Director of the Mineta Transportation Institute at San José State University
“Lisa was able to rapidly and effectively respond to a research task we had, which involved identifying and describing a series of events that occurred in Latin America. She not only assisted in translating and summarizing material, but she went beyond the initial task and found additional events and material that proved extremely valuable to the project. I enthusiastically recommend her for her skills and initiative.”

“To say Lisa is incredible to work with is an understatement. Her feedback is not only constructive but also positive. Having someone read your work is a pretty vulnerable thing, but Lisa took care with her words while still pointing out areas of improvement. It’s evident Lisa has an amazing skillset for all things editing. She is professional, always responding to questions and meeting deadlines. I wish I had hired Lisa earlier on in my writing process, but I am already planning on working with her again!”

“Lisa helped me turn a chapter from my book into a standalone short story. I loved her attention to making every sentence pop off the page while giving me options to maintain my voice without breaking grammar rules. An up-and-coming talent for editing fiction—I can’t wait to work with her on my completed manuscript.”

“There are many writers, editors, and coaches in the world, but I have never met another like Lisa or one that even comes close to fully understanding the needs of clients and getting results like she does.
Lisa has endless knowledge in various fields that enables her to edit a variety of academic and professional content. She always goes above and beyond. Even though I have worked with her many times, she continues to surprise and impress me!”

“As a first-time author, it was an enormous challenge for me to put my work in the hands of someone I didn't know and trust that they would do a good, thorough job. Lisa Rose helped me become confident and comfortable in my craft, and I have continued to grow as a writer since.”
