Client Testimonials
“Beth has a rare ability to understand the complex field in which we work, which is at the intersection of child welfare, substance use and mental health disorder treatment, and court systems. She [also] has a gift for taking long publications written by multiple authors with various abilities and weaving the components together into a cohesive voice.
We rely on her to frame each piece of writing for our many diverse audiences — ranging from practitioners and frontline workers in treatment and child welfare, to policymakers and administrators, to our funding agencies.
Beth also provides valuable feedback to our writers, which helps our staff improve their writing. I knew it was a blessing when we hired her!”
“Turning Phrases has been an amazing partner of the Association of Maternal and Child Health Programs (AMCHP) in providing copyediting and ghostwriting services.
Beth is meticulous in her copyediting and skilled at transforming an idea into a beautiful article or interview. She is also exceptional at capturing an author’s tone and voice. We are delighted to continue working with Turning Phrases for many of our products.”
“[Beth] is not just an editor who fixes grammatical, stylistic, and syntax errors and inconsistencies that could trip up a reader.
She has a handle on the content and how we need to present our information publicly. She provides a deep level of document analysis and review that puts her in a different category from other editors.”
“Beth is a great writer who knows her stuff when it comes to proposals. She can transform a rough draft from “mush” to a compelling accurate product that helps us win work.
She does an impressive job pulling the story together and ensures our winning themes and accomplishments are woven throughout so that we stand apart from the competition.
I absolutely love her ability to drastically cut text, while keeping all the substance. Beth brings institutional knowledge about our company that benefits the proposal development process. We think of her as part of our family.”
“There are only a handful of writers with whom I’ve worked who consistently develop material that is thorough; creative; well-written; and always delivered on time. Beth is one of them. [We] have worked hand-in-hand on dozens of projects. With minimal direction and maximum enthusiasm, she delves into each assignment and delivers an excellent product. Her proposal-writing skills are especially impressive. Grab her if you can.”
“I don’t know how we could have copy edited those commissioned papers for the U.S. Department of Education, Office of Elementary and Secondary Education without Turning Phrases! From managing the team of professional copy editors, to locating additional resources at the last minute, you saved the day.”
“I have worked with Beth over several years and on a number of event projects. She has always exceeded my expectations in getting the job done. Beth is always the first call when I need editorial services…..”
“Beth is an exquisite and meticulous editor who offers a wealth of knowledge about health communications and policy with each piece of writing. She always goes above and beyond when it comes to communicating, researching, or making suggestions for a more aesthetically pleasing format.”
“I love working with Beth. She takes the time to understand the diverse content she edits for me at the National Responsible Fatherhood Clearinghouse and always provides substantive and helpful feedback. She also highlights areas where more information might be helpful, and even after her initial edits, she is always available to do a quick back-and-forth before I finalize a document.
I am continually learning from her about ways to improve and simplify the content of the documents we produce so that our audience can fully appreciate the information that we develop. I particularly appreciate her attention to detail. She often catches a small typo that has evaded previous reviewers and ensures all references match our client’s style requirements and that links to cited resources are working correctly.”
