Rev. Mike Stewart, author, No Crowds Present.
"Philip has the unique ability to bring together a series of thoughts and ideas into a comprehensive and readable form. His expertise in the use of words along with his ability to put himself in the place of both writer and reader make him an outstanding editor. He is detailed, creative, and fun to work with."
Susanne Willms Thielman, author of Susanne Remembers: A Mennonite Childhood in Revolutionary Russia
"About thirty years ago I wrote my memoirs of growing up in Russia. I didn't do anything with them until a year or so ago when my family urged me to make them into a book. After meeting Philip, I decided to hire him to organise my manuscript, add some of my father's writings, write a brief article on Mennonite history, and edit everything. He did a wonderful job and I am very happy with the book, Susanne Remembers.
"Philip is hardworking and indulges himself completely in his work. He is dependable and respectful of me and my work, and I knew I could trust him. In every way he was professional and easy to work with— patient, but gently pushing me when I needed pushing. Some of my writing was awkward in parts, as my mother tongue is German, but Philip smoothed it out while making sure that it still sounded like me.
"I am ninety-five, and I don't think I could ever have done this by myself. I am very grateful to Philip for making my book as good as it is. Without him my manuscript would still be sitting in a drawer."
