"The resources we publish have to be right—not just free of typos and grammatical errors, but theologically sound, instructionally accurate, and accessible to leaders with a broad range of teaching experience. Heidi brings more than a sharp editor’s eye to these resources. She brings her deep theological knowledge, her teaching experience, and her understanding of our audience to make everything stronger and more usable for our customers. I trust her work completely and always rest easier knowing that our work has had Heidi’s eyes on it."

"I wish I could outsource all of my projects (not just copyediting) to Heidi because her work is fantastic, thorough, and timely. She makes big projects a breeze by consistently delivering on time and on budget. Her communication and friendly demeanor make her my favorite copyeditor."

"Heidi is a highly talented, reliable copyeditor. Her work never disappoints and that’s impressive because I give her a lot of work. Heidi is always ready to take on a new challenge, working with complicated curriculum that requires immense attention to content, grammar and style. She brings talent and knowledge, experience and discipline to every job she takes. I know she can be counted on, and that’s why I continue to count on her."

"I am in awe of Heidi Mann’s gifts of editing. I have given her every challenge possible with the editing of books, planners and lectionaries and she has made everything I have created a product of significantly higher quality due to her editing skills. I am also amazed at the turnaround speed in getting my jobs back to me. You know when you have finished something significant, you don’t want to wait weeks for your editor to get back to you. I could not be happier with the work that Heidi produces, and I highly recommend her for your next editing project."

"I’ve worked closely with Heidi for almost a decade and recommend her without reservation for writing, proofreading and copy editing of all types. Her passion for words and wordsmithing shines through all her work, and she makes me a better writer and editor. For our publication each month, Heidi provides original writing, collects other material that will appeal to readers, copy edits and fact-checks articles about publishing best practices and grammar, proofreads artwork captions, and enters keywords on hundreds of images for our online art library. On a publication with a small 'virtual' staff, Heidi is a trusted partner who provides much-appreciated opinions and expertise. She has a keen eye, meets deadlines, responds promptly to correspondence, and maintains a positive, friendly attitude — even under pressure."
