“I have had the pleasure of working with Jerry for the last year. He has provided enormous value and professionalism to our marketing pieces. He is very talented with copy writing, editing and proof reading. I would honesty be lost without him. He insures that we are consistent with our message and present ourselves in a positive manner to our clients and prospects. I would encourage everyone to utilize Jerry’s services.”
Sara Harding
Communications Director
FIM Group
Traverse City, MI—
“Jerry is the secret weapon that every marketing department or agency needs. His editing and proofreading skills are invaluable and a necessity in today’s marketplace. Imagine how embarrassing it would be to send a beautifully designed and well crafted ad into the marketplace with a glaring error? It happens all the time, but not if you use Barterian Editorial. His services ensure accuracy and consistency – every time. We have worked with Jerry for years and would not dream of placing anything out into the world without it first being reviewed by Jerry. He is thorough, insightful, and always on time and on budget.”
Julia Gillespie

“Finding appropriate talent to serve the needs of my clients could not have been easier than my first experience working with Jerry. His thorough attention to detail and consistent high quality have been a part of several successful projects for many of my clients. I look forward to many more in the future.”

“In the midst of tight deadlines getting it right the first time is a must. Jerry helps make that happen. He not only understands the details of excellent proofing and editing but also the context of the piece and where it figures into getting out a creative but precisely written proposal or marketing communications piece.”
Mark Beltaire
Senior Creative Marketing Executive
Budco
Highland Park, MI—
“What I appreciate most about working with Jerry aside from his fresh and objective pair of eyes is his positive attitude. He has added great value to multiple projects and changed my opinion of how significant the contributions of a proofreader can be. He is thorough and fastidious, and mindful of completing the project is a timely and cost-effective fashion. With a disarming sense of humor and a professional attitude, Jerry is an asset to any organization.”
Yvette A. Felix

“I can’t say enough about Jerry’s skill, intelligence and work ethic. I’ve known him to institute company-wide innovations, act as a true agent of positive change, and be relentless in the pursuit of improving processes and quality. His value to every project he touches cannot be overstated. He’s an asset every time.”
Ronald Marshall Jr.

“It is my pleasure to recommend Jerry. He and I worked closely together at Budco for a little over a year. He is enthusiastic, dedicated and has a great sense of humor. He’s always willing to pitch in to help the team, and he gets the job done right the first time. Jerry’s a goal-oriented, reliable asset for any company who chooses to add him to their staff. I highly recommend him for any endeavor he chooses to pursue.”
Christina Wrzesinski
Owner/Creative Director
Wrzesinski Design—
“Any graphic designer knows their work is only as good as the constancy and accuracy of its content. Working with Jerry assures me that the final pieces will convey exactly what the client expected, professional, high-end material. At the same time, being assured that the copy is correct the first time saves thousands of dollars in embarrassing re-prints. I highly recommend Jerry for his services.”
Dan Boulware

“I had the pleasure of hiring Jerry to manage the editorial department at Budco. Jerry consistently exceeded my expectations. He is an effective leader and skilled wordsmith who gets the job done quickly and accurately. His skills are invaluable and contributions immeasurable.”

“I’ve known Jerry since 1998, when I hired him as a full-time proofreader at Visual Services. He was recommended by a colleague who’d worked with him at another agency. Jerry turned out to be a perfect fit for our department. He proved to be a very competent proofreader/copy editor, and his engaging, easy-going personality made him a pleasure to interact with. Jerry’s now got 10 more years of experience under his belt with a wide variety of clients. I wholeheartedly recommend him as a highly skilled, highly motivated proofreader/copy editor. He’ll do an excellent job, and you’ll enjoy working with him. He can ‘proof’ it.”
