“It is an absolute pleasure to work with Jane. Her editing is polished and elegant, her indexes are thorough and clear, and her interpersonal style is responsive and accommodating. Our only regret is that we can’t monopolize her time!”

ANNE ROECKLEIN, MANAGING EDITOR, CLARK ART INSTITUTE

“Jane Friedman is a publisher’s best friend. She is a copyeditor, a proofreader, and an indexer—all in one. As a proofreader, Jane brings skillful editing knowledge, and as an indexer, she serves as another layer of proofreading scrutiny. With Jane focusing in any one capacity, a publisher reaps the benefits of all of her editorial prowess. And, as a further bonus, Jane is absolutely lovely to work with!”

LESLIE DUTCHER, DIRECTOR OF PUBLICATIONS, FINE ARTS MUSEUMS OF SAN FRANCISCO
