"I got in touch with Rowan for her copyediting services on my novel. She responded in a timely manner and was clear on her availability, when she could fit me in and gave me an approximation of a timeline, what her services would include, as well as costs involved, including deposit and payment schedule. I loved the transparency of the costs involved, schedule of payments, confirmation of start date as well as completion date. Everything was so clear. She completed the project within the specified dates and her attention to detail was truly amazing. The manuscript that came back to me was polished, and professional.
At the completion of the project Rowan supplied me with a style sheet in the event the manuscript was altered further and had to be edited in line with her work. Not only did Rowan provide me with an exceptional service, and great value for money, she taught me about the copyediting process, and I came out more educated as a result.
I have no hesitation in recommending anyone to Rowan who is need of copyediting services. Her work ethic and attention to detail is incredible. I can’t wait to work with her on my next project."

"Rowan was a delight to work with! We connected on a personal level right away, and I found her charming and engaging. Her eagle eye caught oversights that never would have occurred to me, including the rules of capitalizing foods and wine. Rowan is sharp and precise, and I definitely will be hiring her for my next project!"

"Excellent Work! I was amazed at how many corrections Rowan made to my manuscript. I had many mistakes that I would never notice. There were several punctuation habits I had that must be out-dated. When I wasn't sure I just followed her choices, because I'm sure she knew better. She went beyond what I expected, uncovering confusions and inconsistencies. I would be exhausted after ten pages. I thank her for her hard work!"

As a small business owner, I felt completely overwhelmed with the lack of process and coordination in my business, and my inability to copy edit. I was making mistakes that were costing me time, money, and reputational damage.
It wasn't easy to decide to invest in business supports and even tougher to trust someone with my intellectual property, yet working with Rowan has been the best business decision I've made to date.
"Rowan's competencies in copy editing, process improvement, project management, communication, and organization have elevated the professionalism and credibility of every piece of my programs, services, products, and customer service.
It's rare to work with someone who is so thoughtful, diligent and talented. She puts the same level of love and drive into your business as she does her own.
Her skills and spirit are unmatched!"

What were we thinking as we created the computer revolution? Was it good for humanity?
Thoughts of a Reformed Computer Scientist is a search for intelligence across multiple facets of the human condition—religion and science, evolution, and innovation.
Jim Morris’s memoir covers his sixty-year career in computer science and weaves the reader through the complex land of computer technology and the nuanced world of human behavior. From his days as a student, a professor, and an innovator at Carnegie Mellon, MIT, Berkeley, and Xerox PARC to recent AI advances Morris describes his work and his enthusiasms along with several Turing Award winners and tech entrepreneurs and ultimately asks us to ponder what they were thinking as they created the computer revolution.
