Marianne Eason, editor
Proposal Editor
Content Editor
“Marianne is efficient, responsible and an excellent editor who knows her stuff! She knows both traditional and e-book publishing as well as her middle name. You can’t go wrong. To boot, she is willing to go the extra mile to help with questions and last-minute details. I couldn’t have asked for a better editor and can recommend Marianne highly.”

“I used Marianne’s outstanding editorial services for a previous book chapter, and because she did such a fantastic job, returned to her for editing and proofreading my 231-page doctoral dissertation.
She performed her usual magic given a very limited time frame (mine, not hers): complete review, proofreading and edits, catching missing/erroneous source citations in APA, reworking grammatical sentence structure, creating the entire table of contents, cleaning up the bibliography, pagination and more.
Given my limited time and fact that she had to make everything conform to stringent University formatting requirements (based on a 37-page manual), Marianne literally turned this over in a 24-hour period—twice!
I ended up getting a few extra days, and Marianne willingly dove back in to do another review. I was able to do a final review and was completely reassured that Marianne’s work was ready for University submission.
The most important thing for me, in addition to superior editorial work, is partnering with someone who was able to work with my goofy and last-minute changes to deadlines/additional materials.
Marianne was always calm, cool, collected, and had a wonderfully supportive ‘this will get done’ attitude, which reassured me tremendously. I am planning some additional work on journal articles and future book chapters, and she will remain my go-to professional for that as well.”
Update from January 2025:
“I wanted to provide a brief update on the more recent editorial work Marianne has completed for me, because the quality of her work continues to be exceptional (and she's become my "go-to" editor for scholarly/academic articles). I've had the pleasure of working with Marianne repeatedly in the past 6-7 years on projects ranging from a recent 5-6 page book review to several 20-25 page peer-reviewed journal articles.
She continues to be excellent at prose restructuring and proofreading, and always provides thoughtful and insightful feedback with questions about the best way to convey my content. In some cases, I have had to reduce the length of an article by 2-3 pages (500-1000 words), and Marianne has always given excellent suggestions around how to retain the overall intent of the article while meeting word count requirements - no easy feat.
I will use Marianne's outstanding services as long as I am writing and publishing in academia!"
