Jason Dorland, author: Working with Melva—and I use the term "with" because she made it a truly collaborative process—was undoubtedly the highlight for me in writing my book, Chariots and Horses: Life Lessons from an Olympic Rower.

Catherine Larose, author of Any Color but Beige: "Mel’s evaluation service was wonderful because it clearly pointed out my manuscript’s strengths and weaknesses. It gave me everything I needed to take my manuscript to the next level."

Timothy Meyer, Strategic Planning and Communications, TRIUMF, Canada’s Particle Physics Laboratory: “Mel was the heart and soul of the TRIUMF Five-Year Plan: 2010—2015. I have worked with more than 30 different editors in British Columbia, the San Francisco Bay area, Chicago, and Washington, D.C., and I would easily rate her as the best editor with whom I have ever worked.”
