Putting a face to Sonia Castleberry. The top shot is me with Smithwick, one of two Portuguese Water Dogs that share my life and my office space--typically under my desk. This was taken in February 2015 when he was just five months old.

What people say about me

I was initially unhappy about the idea of paying for the APA editing process. I'd had my paper proofread by five other people, after all, so it was pretty perfect already. My mind changed when I saw the number of things that other proofreaders (and I!) missed that Sonia found. Even beyond that, she read my statistical tables, consulted with a statistician, reformatted tables, found errant numbers, removed repetitive information, and cleaned up wording throughout the text. This was on top of formatting my paper to make sure it met all of the APA guidelines. The peace of mind that I have knowing I met Sonia's stringent editing standards is invaluable. I'm now thrilled that I hired her!

I was listening to an interview on KNPR today with author John Grisham on his new book. He admitted to never having writers block and offered tips on writing. He said you need to find someone that cares about your success and will guide you and be critical when needed. You need someone on your side. Sonia Castleberry has been on my side from day 1. Sonia provided me sound advice and critical feedback when I needed it most. I wholeheartedly recommend Sonia.

At the end of the long process of producing a dissertation, the value of a good APA editor cannot be over stated. Working with Sonia was a pleasure. She was capable, professional, efficient, and knew the minutiae of the tedious APA format. I was very happy to have had Sonia's capability to produce a nicely polished final product.
