Naomi Lakritz was a pleasure to work with from day one and exceeded all my expectations. Her editing was great, excelling in grammar, punctuation and flow, all without interfering with the original voice. Her word-choice suggestions smoothed out the manuscript and strengthened the message at the same time. A thorough researcher, she did an exceptional job on the fact checking, doing a lot more than merely checking the facts, but providing information beyond what I asked for that turned out to be invaluable. Naomi has the rare ability to see both the big picture and the details, and I highly recommend working with her.

I would like to thank you so very much for the work and effort that you and Mark Hyman put into our annual report. You did fabulous work for Jewish Family Service Calgary. The report is fresh, crisp, informative and very representative of our organization. Your editing, writing, organizational and graphic skills are professional and first class. Here is what one of our users of the report had to say about it:
“I wanted to congratulate you on the quality of the Annual Report. I really enjoyed the extensive details about our performance during the past year in the Annual Report. It is very impressive and gives a great overview for our donors on the value created by JFSC. In my view this helps us to achieve one of our strategic goals, namely 'increase recognition as a leader in exceptional service delivery.' You may consider sending a letter along with the Annual Report to your contacts at United Way and FCSS. I know that the report will go up on the website.”
I will not hesitate to recommend your services to others and will be back for more.

Naomi Lakritz is a fantastic writer and editor. I have submitted numerous articles to the Calgary Herald and have always been impressed with her responsiveness, insight and attention to detail. The end product has always been better as a result.

Thanks for your wonderful work on my thesis. Shan Wan, PhD student in economics, University of Calgary.
Naomi Lakritz’s editorial skills, along with those she developed as a professional journalist over many years, proved to be of great value in the development of my manuscript. Naomi excels not only in the nuts-and-bolts, blue-pencil aspect of editing but also displays something just as important — the imagination needed to recognize and respect the style and substance of the writing entrusted to her care. My manuscript is a work of fiction, but there’s no doubt in my mind Naomi’s abilities would prove just as invaluable whatever category of writing she’s asked to edit.

If you are in the market for a freelance editor, I think Naomi Lakritz would fit the bill. She was a crack member of the Calgary Herald editorial board, and knows way more about Canada and Canadian history than anybody really should. Plus, she's a very fine editor.
