A Word From Our Clients

" I needed serious help on a writing piece for college, and Debbie and Rachel really helped me edit and make my work more understandable for my readers. They worked directly with me on all changes, allowing me to approve everything they did. I would recommend them to anyone who needs an extra set of eyes on their writing. They were quick and professional. D&R WordSmiths works! "

" D&R Wordsmiths was an awesome company to work with. They were prompt, but they talked me through everything they did for me. To be honest, writing is not my specialty, but they made me sound like a writer. Keep up the good work, D&R WordSmiths! "
