Dear Visitors
For many researchers, students, academics and technical writers, a gulf lies between their good ideas and the safe delivery of those ideas to the teachers, departments, committees and editorial boards and assorted readers waiting on the other side.
Welcome.
"I selected you over so many others for several reasons. Mainly, you were a real person, meaning you could be reached by telephone and you had an address. When I spoke with you I felt comfortable. You put me at ease and I immediately had confidence in you. I think the most important reason was I did not have to worry about you rewriting and selling parts of my thesis. You really have a lot to offer. If I can be of service, please do not hesitate to ask."
Yours truly,
Nellie J. Winters-Sellars,

"Robert Buckland is an engaging, intelligent and experienced international editor. He has edited a number of papers that I have written for peer-reviewed scholarly journals and books and is not one of those editors who simply points out small grammatical and typographical errors or, on the other hand, modifies everything in your work without keeping your original expressions and sentences. He literally *polishes* your writing, whether it is a technical paper for an academic journal or a popular article for a general audience."

I successfully defended on the 25th of August. If I have something that needs editing in the future, I will definitely ask you again!
Thanks again, Best wishes,

"Dear Robert,
I opened the attachment and the bibliography looks great. Thank you for all your help! "~ T.B., MBA candidate,

"Thank you, Robert, for the careful and expediant editorial work you did on my Ph.D. dissertation. As I made corrections, I came to appreciate your ability to hear my voice and to suggest corrections appropriate to my style, pacing, and vocabulary. In cases where my work became too redundant, your alternatives added the needed turn to keep the reader's attention. My external reader, in particular, remarked at the readability of the thesis--an accolade for which you may take some well-deserved credit."

"Robert Buckland is a superb editor. He has helped me edit and design three books and literally transformed my writing - truly translating my thoughts into print - then recently oversaw the development of my commercial website. If you want to communicate effectively through the medium of language, ask for Robert's help. You can't go wrong."

It's not fair, perhaps, that a spot of ketchup on a tie or dress should make a poor impression, but it does. In business communications, in academic and technical literature, in creative writing, in the packaging of book ideas - language is our dress, our shirt, our suit, our tie. If we're less than fully familiar with that language, we may never see those stains and spots. We won't see them, but others will.
Let's make sure that your every letter, technical manual, manuscript, promotion, paper, essay, thesis, story and film script goes out -- not just spotless, but beautifully tailored.And if you have an idea for a book, let's put new meaning into 'well pressed'.
The Business of Words and my book-editing and writing service at Ocean Cooperative, offer you reassurance and coaching in every area of language communication -- from the most modest business letter to the book-length story of a life.
I'm so confident you'll enjoy working with me, I'm willing to offer you a sample editing of your work, then charge you nothing.
Yours truly,
