"I
have enjoyed working with FIRST
IMPRESSIONS on writing projects
for over three years. During that
time, they have edited a fiction
novel I authored entitled "The
Figurehead," a 175,000 word
book that also includes a glossary
of nautical terms and an historic timeline.
The quality of editing has been
excellent, a fact noted by many others
as well as myself.
FIRST
IMPRESSIONS provided me with various
levels of editing, which included
an initial review of my manuscript
for continuity, flow, and consistency
of characterizations. Most importantly,
they performed their work with
an understanding of my timeframe
and budget.
I
have found them to be forthright
and approachable with their comments
and suggestions. Having been a
publisher myself for over a decade,
I can attest that it doesn't get
any better!"

"Jeanette Morris is wonderful to have as an editor. She walked me through the whole process--start to finish. Within two weeks of completion, a literary agent accepted my manuscript. Jeanette answered each question with patience and care. I highly recommend her for your writing project."

"I found Jeanette Morris in a last-minute effort to have my first book, "Warfare Scripture Prayers and Declarations," professionally edited. She was quick, thorough, and patient when responding to all of my questions. As a new author and publisher, I gained so much knowledge working with Jeanette. She offered sound advice and wisdom as well. The entire publishing process, from writing the book, to finding a printer, to finding Jeanette, my editor, was ordained by the Lord. I am eternally grateful to Him for connecting me with her."

"Already
believing it was nearly perfect,
I gave my college writing assignment
to FIRST IMPRESSIONS to review.
Even though it had been previously
evaluated by two peer editors
and a writing instructor, they
were able to suggest some subtle,
but powerful, changes that added
strength to my argument and clarified
my direction. Their turnaround
time was less than 24 hours. I
highly recommend their services,
even to the most experienced writers."

"Jeanette Morris of FIRST IMPRESSIONS transformed my book, a highly technical reference manual, from a rough manuscript into a clear, flowing text that is pleasant to read. In addtion, she offered me various suggestions on text layout and design that improved the appearance and marketability of the book. I enjoyed working with her on this project, and recommend her highly to anyone who is interested in using the services of a skilled, knowledgable and conscientious copyeditor."

"We are in debt to Jeanette Morris who helped us with the English subtitles for our promotional DVD this past summer. She has a keen insight into the nuances of American English, and a wonderful sense of 'what works.' In addition, we had a very tight deadline to meet, and she made herself available to help us complete the project on time. We are a non-commercial organization supporting the education and moral upbringing of youth in Russia. Jeanette has become our personal friend through her many visits over the past six years and has been a great help in building relationships with officials and supporters from other countries. As we cooperate with various international organizations, we need good advice on cultural differences and perspectives of Americans. Jeanette has been an excellent resource for us. She has assisted us with editing our business correspondence and helping us present our views more clearly and powerfully. In addition, she has written very talented stories about the people she has met in Russia through our outreach: teachers, former drug-addicts, HIV infected people, and has helped to build bridges between our country and hers. Jeanette has proved herself to be a reliable and trustworthy person."

"We at Odenwald Construction use Jeanette Morris as our copywriter. She has a great command of language and the ability to transfer our notes and thoughts into what we need, whether it be advertising, web text, or other business-related correspondence. Two of Jeanette's greatest qualities are her quick response and efficiency! We don't have to think twice about using Jeanette for any size of project, because we know the turnaround will be fast, the price fair, and the results fantastic! Once you have started reaping the benefits of Jeanette as your copy writer, you will find yourself becoming as dependent on her as your spellchecker!"

"FIRST IMPRESSIONS has succeeded in doing exactly what its name implies--helped CEQAdocs.com create a great first impression with our users. There is nothing more annoying than bad grammar and incorrect spelling on the Internet. We wanted our site to read well and make sense, so we hired FIRST IMPRESSIONS to edit our user interface. Jeanette Morris is a great editor who keeps her eye open for those details we seem to miss. We highly recommend Jeanette and FIRST IMPRESSONS for web-based editing; she's made a difference for our company!

"After
being turned down by an editor
who wasn't comfortable with my
highly personal, journal-style
manuscript, FIRST IMPRESSIONS
came to my rescue and helped me
get my book ready for the printer
in order to meet my deadline.
"This is a Good Day to Live" is
even better because of their efforts
on my behalf."

After over 20 years in the same
job, I found myself looking for
a new opportunity. Jeanette helped

With Jeanette's help, I got the
job! Her assistance helped me gain
the confidence I needed to try something
new.
