We had asked Steven to edit an article written in English by a researcher whose first language was not English. Steven proposed numerous changes, all of which were necessary, justified, astute and perfectly in tune with the author’s intentions. He even flagged a few issues with the footnotes. Meticulous and highly professional work. I enthusiastically recommend him! — Cédric Jourde, Associate Professor of Political Studies, University of Ottawa

Go-To for Plain Language

When developing online resources for teens, Steven was my go-to for plain-language editing. We sometimes received submissions from brilliant people whose writing style was just a bit too complex for our average reader. I could count on Steven to transform the text into something accessible, teen-friendly and fun—always with tremendous respect for the author's voice and expertise. — Tina Bankovic, a former colleague at Let's Talk Science
