I love it. My editor, Terry Cummings, was very thorough with my personal statement for dental school and gave me some very specific and insightful suggestions as to how I can improve. She wrote a whole page full of critiques which was incredibly valuable!

I found the suggestions and changes that the DLA editor made to be very helpful. However, with the busy schedule of a medical clerkship, I was hoping for more direction. I realize that writing is a process; therefore, I wish that you were able to submit your changes at least once without being charged again. Frankly, this is too expensive to do multiple times.

We are happy to hear that you have found our suggestions helpful. Did you know that you can actually send your revised PS back to your editor just to confirm you are on the right track with your changes, and at no additional charge? Did you also know that you can follow up with your editor to clarify any of the suggestions we have made, also at no additional charge? You may also be interested to know that we are in the process of reorganizing our personal statement services. Within the next few weeks, we will be rolling out the following changes: (1) greater discount for multiple rounds of editing; (2) greater discount for submitting multiple PS's; and (3) a new package option to include having your resume/CV edited along with your PS. Please let us know if you have any other recommendations!

Helped organize the structure of the paper by advising what I should write about paragraph to paragraph. This helped me organize my thoughts to help get my points across. After reading the comments, it was easy to re-write my paper.

I needed my manuscript edited for grammar, spelling, sentence flow etc. etc. etc and I chose DLA editors & Proofers. They did not disappoint me. They do all they say they will do and in an easy to understand way. DLA has 7-8 different editors and he/she corrects spelling and whatever needs changing right on your manuscript. Then on the side there will be what was deleted or changed. And if you got the edit with comments, they also tell you why and comment on your writings. Payment is easy, too. I used Pay Pal and you pay half up front and when they are done editing for you, you pay the remaining amount due and within 20 minutes you get your edited manuscript back. I will be using this Company again for a proofread or on my next book!!!

I am really impressed with the quality of the service offered by DLA Editors. They work really fast and the quality of the editing is irreproachable. Not to mention they provide little notes to help when the editor feels something isn't quite right. The customer service is amazing. One day, they failed to send me an email as soon as my document was ready for download. Later, I received a coupon, even though I didn't ask for anything. I really thought it wasn't such a big deal. I would conclude by saying I will continue to work with them and I highly recommend them to anyone who needs editing services.
