What'd They Say?
“He suggested we change “For every pair…” to “With every pair…” — and we did. Why? Because our customers are an integral part of the TOMS ecosystem. We aren’t giving for them, we are giving with them.” |

“With every pair you purchase, TOMS will give a pair of new shoes to a child in need. One for One.”
“Adam is a talented writer and a highly-skilled editor. I’ve hired him twice to copy-edit my books, and I would highly recommend him if you are looking for thorough and meticulous editing work. He’s one of the best editors I’ve ever worked with.”

Adam was a brilliant copyeditor! As I was finalizing my manuscript, Adam’s keen eye was able to not only find all of the little typos and grammar tweaks, but he added a fresh perspective on how to frame certain messages to read more clearly to my audience. If you’re looking for some editing support, don’t hesitate in reaching out and working with Adam!

"Working with Adam as an editor has been absolutely incredible! He came highly recommended by a friend who's an accomplished author, and I can't thank them enough. Adam's unwavering support and belief in my work, despite it taking me a decade to write, has been phenomenal. As a neurodivergent individual, I require kindness, patience, and a unique approach, all of which Adam possesses in abundance. His nurturing nature, genuine care, and remarkable attention to detail have been invaluable. I wholeheartedly recommend hiring Adam as an editor – you won't regret it. Thank you, Adam, for helping me complete my book “Be Who You Needed” that has become an Amazon bestseller!" |

“I’ve worked with various editors and none compare to what Adam can do. I hired him to copy-edit my novel. Adam is thorough and detailed in his approach; his editing style brings a fresh perspective, offering thoughts and suggestions that have helped me elevate my writing to the next level.” |

“Adam has been proofreading and editing my articles and speeches for years. He has a keen attention-to-detail, not only for grammar and punctuation, but for style and word choice. I always appreciate his suggestions and feedback. Adam has an ability to focus fully on the job to complete it in a prompt and professional manner every time. He’s like a sieve that can sift through even the smallest errors that would otherwise make it through a colander. I highly recommend Adam to assist with all of your editing needs!”

“Adam proofread my resume before our Close of Service Conference with the Peace Corps. We had a session on resumes later that week and I wanted mine to be ready. What I came to find was that all the suggestions Adam had for me were the same ones that the speaker would later bring up. He has an eye for small details that you wouldn’t even think to look at. Coming back to the states during a pandemic, I was worried that I wouldn’t be able to find a job, especially because there were no in-person interviews happening. I think my resume definitely did a lot of the heavy lifting; it’s what got my foot in the door when I physically couldn’t. I now hold a position as a Family Services Specialist with a non-profit that works with migrants and I couldn’t ask for more.”

Some More Nice Notes
Whether received through a structured team-building exercise or just a kind word sent, I’ve received a lot of wonderful notes throughout the years. Though not necessarily related to my work in editing, the gallery below is still a collection I am humbled by—perhaps the best personal resume I could share. I sometimes look at these when I recognize I could use a pick-me-up. Thank you.
