What others are saying about CopyProof ...

“Having never used a real editor in my life, I was a bit nervous, but Dan Shenk and his CopyProof services changed all that. His work, his style, his integrity and his attention to detail won me over. He is a real pro and someone I will work with over and over again. I have seen many people in this line of work, but Dan keeps the writer's true focus in mind—and for writers that is paramount. Dan is worth it if you want to do a book right.”

–J. Ted Oakley, author of You Sold Your Company, and Founder and Managing Partner of Oxbow Advisors, Corpus Christi, Texas

“Mr. Shenk played a big role in improving our product, and he became our 'house grammarian.' I might add we have attempted to find a successor for his job as proofreader, and none has come close to passing the test we give all (newsroom) applicants on grammar and spelling. His score was the best ever received on it.”

–George Saucer, Managing Editor, The Courier (circulation: 55,000), Waterloo, Iowa

“I want you to know that you're the best editor/proofreader who has ever contacted us. Enclosed is your ticket to our 'Grammar, Usage & Business Writing Skills' seminar. While in a certain way it seems ludicrous to discourage you from enrolling in our seminar, I would be unethical if I didn't at least tell you this: You don't need to go! You obviously could teach the course.”

–Denise Dudley, Executive Vice President, SkillPath, Inc., Mission, Kan.

“‘The “proof” of the pudding,’ it is said, ‘is in the eating.’ CopyProof impresario Dan Shenk appeared in my office one day with a copy of our firm’s 1994 annual report in hand. He suggested we might need his services. I demurred—until he respectfully showed me that the very first word in the report, ‘Foreword,’ was misspelled! I’ll not further confess the number of grammatical, punctuation and word-usage errors that he had redlined elsewhere. Suffice it to say, while I think I have a reasonable command of the English language, Dan had copy proof that it was humble pie, not pudding, that I should be eating.”

–Frank Martin, Managing Partner, Martin Capital Management, Elkhart, Ind.

“Dan Shenk has helped us put the finishing touches on a number of brochures. Each time we were surprised by how many errors we had missed. We realize the quality of our woodworking needs to be reflected in the quality of our literature. We've found Dan to be very precise and easy to work with. We recommend
him highly.”

–Larion Swartzendruber, Owner, Swartzendruber Hardwood Creations, Goshen, Ind.

“Dan Shenk's work has been careful—even wonderfully nitpicky. He brings to his work a love for words used precisely, a mind for detail, and a zeal for clarity and organization. I've used him for two of the most demanding publications I can think of, and I don't know anybody who could have done a better job.
He's excellent.”

–Wendy McFadden, Director, Brethren Press, Elgin, Ill.
