Reviews from Clients

The Red Ink Society is the best choice for your text-polishing needs. Here's what a few of our customers have to say about their service [comments are unedited by The Red Ink Society]:


"Joy's knowledge and service have been such an asset for me! I tend to look at overarching themes in my work, rather than the nitty gritty. Joy is proficient in both nitty and gritty, all while maintaining the voice of the writer. She often raises questions I haven't thought of, and is always current on the latest rules and trends in the writing world. Plus, she's as honest as they come and will make sure you're happy with her work. We do, however, have a longstanding disagreement over the use of the Oxford Comma...."

"Ms. Joy Slaughter has been a competent and efficient aid to me in my poetry. I am 53 years of age and my grammatical knowledge, while never profound, dates back to a Strunk & White Manual of Style from the early 1970's. Her grammatical knowledge, thankfully, is up-to-date, and I find often that I have forgotten (or never knew) much of what she shares with me. I recommend her wholeheartedly to any writer, proofreader, or editor type of organization. She will do well by you."

"Joy Slaughter is very detailed in her editing. She is able to turn an average narrative into a vivid word picture. Her expertise comes not only from her educational background but also her own creative imagination. She has consistently given me good pointers to improve my writing."
~June Windle Bare

"Hearing of something is different from knowing of something with certainty, and learning something yourself can only come from trying something yourself. I have been in touch with proofreaders and editors around the world. There are always many cultural and linguistic difficulties to be overcome, but by far too many proofreaders there is also an unfortunate inattentiveness to detail and deadlines. Therefore, I began to worry about my websites and their respective quality. Since I operate two websites that represent the greatest foundations in this world, I am so very grateful I was able to discover Ms. Joy Slaughter. Once I had talked to her, I knew there was a good mind with incomparable knowledge. Once I employed her services, I found the complimentary character, diligence, and focus on service, that distinguishes her proofreading and editing from all the rest. She actually renders the textual material she receives, making it linguistically, semantically, pragmatically, and logically comprehensible. Her work is most notably and much to my relief—free from grammatical errors. Besides that, she has a style that renders readers thirsty to read and keep reading. Satisfaction with my website has improved; readership has increased. So, to any translator, interpreter, writer, editor, proofreader, what have you I do recommend Ms. Joy Slaughter. Her wonderful and up-to-date style will help you communicate more powerfully and effectively. You’ll be certain you have found the best fountain of knowledge the world over."
