Maria is a pleasure to work with. Creative, concise and professional, she has helped me take my writing to a new level. With Maria in my corner, I have both published a short story and won a highly competitive writing competition. Now, with our first finished novel under our belts, I look forward, with great excitement, to our next project. I couldn’t recommend her more.

Dear Maria,
I am writing to express my admiration and gratitude for the exceptional work you have done as an editor. Your dedication and commitment to ensuring the clarity of my work, while also preserving the unique voice and tone, are truly remarkable.
I was particularly impressed by your willingness to go above and beyond your budgeted contribution to ensure that my language was not only clear but also accessible to a wider audience. Your efforts to balance my “engineerish” and rational tone with a more engaging, emotionally intelligent, and approachable style have resulted in a truly exceptional transformation into a final product.
Your professionalism and expertise have made a significant impact on the quality of the work, and I am confident that my book will be better received by readers because of you. Your ability to navigate complex technical language while also keeping the content engaging and relatable is truly impressive.
It was a pleasure working with you, and I would highly recommend you to anyone seeking an editor who is dedicated, thorough, and committed to producing high-quality work. Thank you for your outstanding contributions, and I look forward to the opportunity to work with you again in the future.
Sincerely,
Bogdan Motoc March 2023

Maria’s help was absolutely essential in getting Red, White & Blind off the ground and into print. Her insights, suggestions, and hands-on help were priceless. Without her coaching and assistance, this book might never have made it past its first draft. Thank you, Maria, from the bottom of my heart, for all of your amazing work throughout writing, editing, revising, sourcing, footnoting, and, finally, publishing.

Maria did an excellent job editing my book From Minnows to Marlin. I was surprised by the details she was able to research. I actually learned a few things in my book I didn’t know. I would strongly recommend her to anyone writing a book.
Maria Lewytzkyj-Milligan is an excellent editor. Perhaps only a month ago, Maria kindly edited my forty-page article for an international magazine. She was responsive to the deadlines involved, returning the work promptly. Her commentary was professionally placed in the margins and sometimes reflected further research she initiated into a particular point. She is skilled and careful with grammar, language, and sentence structure. However, her abilities go beyond surface editing into more thoughtful and reflective suggestions to further express the writer’s intent. I recomment her highly.
Hi Maria,
Thank you so much for your review of the “New Confessions of an EHM.” I can’t begin to express my deep appreciation for your incredible insights and suggestions — and for all the time and thought you devoted to this.
I’ve incorporated many of your thoughts and suggestions and have totally revised Part V to be chronological and more impassioned. I have added a couple new chapters, including one about a recent trip to Vietnam, to personalize it and bring in more of the guilt-repentance theme.
Again, my deep deep gratitude for your support in this effort.
