Below is a selection of comments from my various clients. I have included some German ones, because many of my clients are from Germany. I have translated the German comments into English.
Es freut uns sehr, dass du einen letzten Blick auf unser Englisch wirfst, bevor wir das Papier einreichen, zumal deine erste Überarbeitung Goldwert war!
– We are really pleased that you can take a last look at our English, before we (re)submit, as your first round of editing was worth gold. –
Michael (Germany)
Vielen Dank für die wirklich wertvollen Anmerkungen. Deine Bearbeitungen haben den Brief wirklich auf ein neues Niveau gehoben. Genial!

Christian (Germany)
I revised the paper and I think it improved a lot (well, it took me also the better part of Friday to do all the revision ;-)). You really did a splendid job
Jörg (Germany)
I want to express my greatest gratitude for your thorough editing which really helps improve the quality of the article.
Johann (Germany)
You are a moving Harvard University Sir. What a 50yrs experienced grey haired Prof here can’t find for months, you find it within a wink of eye!
You are simply so kind but very knowledgeable…. I accept candidly that I paid nothing to you when I compare the quality you have presented me…. I will remember your help throughout my life.
Dipanjan (India)
Ich habe jetzt all deine Korrekturen in das Paper eingebaut! Vielen Dank nochmal dafür – so hatte ich mir das auch vorgestellt! Vor allem auch danke, dass es so schnell ging!
Ich denke, dass ich einige Sachen gelernt habe – z.B. bezüglich der Kommasetzung und wann Adverbien gesetzt werden, und natürlich auch andere Vokabeln, die einfach besser passen!
– I have just entered your corrections into my paper! Thanks once again – it was just as I had imagined! In particular, thanks for doing it so quickly.
I think that I learned a few (useful) things – such as the placing of commas and when to use adverbs, and of course, difference vocabulary that simply sounds better! –
Holger (Germany)
I have now had a closer look at all your additions and deletions and I have to admit that you found more improvements than I expected. You did a great job and the article now has a better flow.
Martin (Germany)

Stephan (Germany)
Ich habe all deine Kommentare mittlerweile eingearbeitet und war schon ganz schön beeindruckt! Die Texte lesen sich jetzt weit professioneller und ganz nebenbei hab ich auch noch viel über meine eigenen Englisch-Fähigkeiten gelernt! Es gab ja schon die ein- oder anderen Fehler, auf die ich in Zukunft ganz besonders achten sollte.
– I have meanwhile put all your comments into the article and am very impressed! The text now reads far more professionally and in the process, I have also learned a lot about my own English capabilities! There are indeed some errors to which I should pay particular attention in the future. –
Nele (Austria)
Wir können Erfolg melden: das Manuskript, das du redigiert hast und das wir bei Child Development eingereicht hatten, ist akzeptiert worden. Das ist ein großer Erfolg, denn besser als Child Development geht es in der Entwicklungspsychologie nicht. Noch einmal ganz herzlichen Dank.
– We can report a success: the manuscript that you edited and that we submitted to Child Development has been accepted. This is a great success, as there is no better journal in the field of developmental psychology. A hearty thank you once again. –

Rene (Germany)
Because of your impressive and exceptional support, I will not turn to any other editor ever. You have dived into this project and really the relentless effort you have put in, needs a special appreciation from my university as well. This is in fact a new beginning with an erudite classy, performer like you.
Dipanjan (India)
You do really great work and our last paper that was edited by you got lots of applause from a very strict and meticulous editor-in-chief (to whom I recommended you then…).
Barbara (Germany)
I just read your article on doping in the process of German reunification in Sport in History. It is truly excellent – a wonderful piece of scholarship!!! I just wanted to pass on my congratulations.
Thomas (Texas, on an article that I had edited very extensively)
Jetzt habe ich Deine Anmerkungen eingefügt. Es ist sehr hilfreich, dass Du auch immer wieder gewissermaßen die Rolle eines Lektors einnimmst und auf Unklarheiten hinweist oder Vorschläge für flüssigere Formulierungen machst! Klasse.
– I have now entered in your comments. It is very helpful that you always adopt the role of a supervisor to some extent and indicate anything that is not clear or give suggestions for more fluent formulations! Great. –
Kerstin (Germany)
Fredrik (co-author) also spoke very highly of you: in fact, he said “he is ‘schweinegenau’ (a positive Swedish expression for someone who is extremely thorough)”.
Paul (Finland)
A big THANK YOU for your support. I really appreciated your comments and precision. I guess the biggest appreciation of your work is the recommendation I gave to my colleague Torben who is now also your client

Yes, good news! Es ist das höchstgerankte E-Commerce-Journal und da habe ich ehrlich gesagt recht sicher mit Rejection gerechnet, aber Deine Korrektur hat sicher zur jetzigen Entscheidung beigetragen.
