Testimonials
"It’s not until the editor is moving through your book that you become aware, through him, of the misleading things you have written or not written, or the errors that will lose your reader’s interest in your subject and in you as the author. They will not go on reading if that happens. It's all about winning a reader’s interest and keeping it until the end. You just can’t see those errors yourself. You need fresh eyes on your pages. Larry Butler is patient, interested, direct and very knowledgeable. The thing I liked the best about working with Larry is that he takes such care to preserve the writer’s own voice throughout the book rather than inserting his own. That is a special talent worth hiring. I would recommend Larry to work on anyone’s book."

"Larry was an AMAZING asset to me when it came to getting this book completed. What you need to know: The communication was seamless. Larry was truly invested in ensuring my book was near perfect. Exceeded all of my expectations. Produced the finished product far before the deadline. Asked important questions that added so much value to the finished product. I am very critical of my own work, but Larry made me really comfortable with making the changes that would add value without taking away from what I wanted to share. Hands down the best talent I've worked with. Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU!"

"As a newly published author, the lesson I learned from my editor and proofreader is that no one can proofread or edit their own work. The brain reads through without notice of what the hand omits. Larry is an expert grammarian and is essential to my literary success. I highly recommend him to anyone who does not want to be embarrassed by the eventual criticism of an agent or publisher without such editing and proofreading."”

“Larry was wonderful to work with editing our cookbook. He asked great questions, knowing we were particular about everything. He did his research up front so the questions were thoughtful and suggestions were useful. He was on top of everything from a project management standpoint even when we threw curveballs at him. It's been a pleasure working with him. Highly recommend and will definitely be using again in the future.”"

"Larry’s involvement in our company went far beyond that of just General Manager. He contributed to the design and construction of our website, wrote and edited a long string of informative and entertaining blogs, artist biographies, press releases, PowerPoint presentations, and even business plans when needed. Whenever there was an area where Larry could assist, he was quick with counsel, a valuable opinion and, of course, correct grammar."
Robert Divney, Managing Partner for The Artist Cooperative, Los Angeles, California
“When I headed the publicity department for Warner Bros. Records, I was keenly aware that our public image could be sullied if any of the materials (bios, press releases, photo captions) were faulty in terms of grammar, spelling, or syntax. We were fortunate to avail ourselves of the expertise of then co-worker Larry Butler during that time. He, invariably, made whatever copy we were working on that much better and, doubtless, saved us from potential embarrassment and ridicule. Any entity with needs in the areas of proofreading and editing would be well advised to engage his services.”
Bob Merlis, Los Angeles, California
“I worked at Warner Records for 30 years and later consulted the company on vinyl reissues and new compilations. Larry has been my go-to proofreader on all the liner notes of all the compilations I have curated. His mastery of spelling, punctuation and grammar is second to none. He works expeditiously as well. I whole-heartedly endorse both him and his work."
Charlie Springer, former VP Sales Warner Bros. Records - Los Angeles, California
A first-time author imagined a modern-day animal adventure fable complete with lessons for all ages. He plans to publish before the end of the year. Meanwhile, he was kind enough to post this review to my Upwork Profile page regarding our work: "Larry’s attention to detail is near supernatural. I never expected to complete this project in such a timely fashion but Larry is a rockstar. I am thoroughly impressed with the quality of his work, the timeliness of its completion, and the kind and easy personality that he offers to work with. Larry is my editor of choice moving forward."
