Testimonials

“Macushla has worked as a contract editor with Flatpage since 2023, contributing to projects ranging from complex, large-scale publications to those requiring a particularly light and thoughtful editorial touch. She is an exceptional copyeditor: precise, reliable, and highly attentive to both the needs of the text and the goals of the client. Just as importantly, Macushla brings intellectual curiosity, subject expertise, and a genuinely collaborative spirit to her work. (…) She was also part of our editorial team for the catalogue and guide for the Venice Biennale, where she did an excellent job ensuring style and consistency across texts by numerous multilingual contributors.

Macushla’s editorial skill, positive energy, and willingness to contribute wherever she can have made her a valued member of our team. I would recommend her highly to any author or organization seeking thoughtful, rigorous editorial support.” (Cara J., Co-Founder, Flatpage)

“…not only does Macushla smooth out and improve the flow of any text. She also contributes her vast erudition and academic expertise to bring each piece of writing to a whole new level. On top of it, she’s always on time and a pleasure to communicate with.”  (Katya F., Co-Founder, LevelUp)

“Macushla does invaluable work for our online auction website. She ensures the copy is faultless, and has a wealth of creative ideas for presenting the artworks in their best light by improving the layout and content of the website.” (Margaret M., Chairperson, Aiding Resources)
