Client Testimonials
Edwin is a talented professional writer and editor. Not only does he deliver even under the tightest of deadlines, he has a way of anticipating our needs, writing pieces that rarely require edits. His pieces are fantastic and his insights are always welcomed and very helpful.
—Benita Hansraj, Research & Information Officer, UNICEF Canada
I have hired Edwin Janzen several times for both copy-editing and proofreading over the past couple of years. He has always delivered on time and to specifications, showing a wonderful attention to detail in his work. Furthermore, he is a pleasure to work with. I would recommend him to anyone looking for someone with the ready ability to engage with the written word.
—Marie Clausén, Managing Editor and Production Manager, University of Ottawa Press
Edwin Janzen is an excellent policy writer. His years of administrative experience, policy expertise, abundant patience and copious goodwill have made my time as a board member smoother and have helped me to understand much of the governing bureaucracy of artist-run culture.
—Amber Berson, Board of Directors, articule (Montreal artist-run centre)
Edwin has an easy understanding and feeling for what an author intends to say. His corrections support but never undermine the meaning of a text, but in fact give it an extra polish. Edwin respects tight timeframes, individual requirements and the author’s own personality. He is prompt and communicative—and totally fun to work with.
—Heike Geist, DMin Candidate, Tyndale University College & Seminary, Toronto
Edwin wrote the essay for a catalogue accompanying an exhibition of my most recent series of paintings. His well-rounded approach included three key points: he identified with my vision as artist, he posed the questions an onlooker might pose, and he critiqued my work as a mentor would. I was delighted with the outcome of the essay.
