“David Eso’s editing has enhanced the professionalism of many reports and proposals for my company. He has worked with a raft of our technical documents, catching incidental errors and offering innovative improvements. We’ve been especially grateful for his ability to work with quick turnaround times.”
“Dr. Eso provided feedback on several academic articles that I co-authored. His editing added nuance to arguments and flagged points that needed more detail and clarity. I was very impressed with his ability to work far outside his own speciality of literary criticism.”
“David Eso is a consummate editor. His left-brain and right-brain seem to fire on all cylinders at the same time, making him an ultimate pragmatist and an ultimate visionary.”
“David has a real knack for finding the right phrase for the job. As a Real Estate agent, I’ve relied on him to create listing descriptions from scratch and also to solve particular problems with my own writing. He always seems to know just the right tweak (small or big) to make everything flow the way I want.”
“I know Dr. Eso to be a diligent, enthusiastic, and eminently capable editor from our close work together on the Malahat Review. He’s creative, knowledgeable, and deeply serious about his work.”
Technician + Artist = Craftsman
Back around the year 2000, I accidentally launched a career in the Canadian literary scene. Performing, publishing, organizing… whoops! Next came technical documentation, a ten-year sentence in academia, and eventually the lively world of business writing.
Whether you’re talking internal documents or marketing materials, I love the tone of breezy enthusiasm that makes good business writing so easy to read.
