Barney Latimer is a truly gifted content and copy editor. Barney’s input on my professional and personal writing projects has been invaluable. He is highly detail-oriented and rigorous; no grammatical error, malapropism, or awkward phrase gets past him. Moreover, even when he is not an expert on the content at hand, he asks probing questions about the intended meaning of each sentence and paragraph, ultimately clarifying the message and tightening the prose. This uncommonly acute sense of when it is necessary to ask questions makes Barney my favorite go-to editor for any writing project.

I give Barney Latimer the rough draft of everything I write. From essays, to books for adults, to books for children. And he always makes what I write better. Smoothing out logic, kindly correcting grammar, suggesting alternatives. He elevates my writing, so that when I hand anything in to my publisher I feel more confident about its quality.
