"As a writer,
Chuck Burack exhibits an extraordinary command of language that enables his prose to be rhythmic, clear, fluent, and nuanced in both style and substance. As an editor, these same qualities, coupled with unusual sensitivity and support, allow him
to help a less-experienced writer find his or her own voice."

Dr. Paul Rea, St. Mary's College, author of Canyon Interludes

"Chuck did a superlative job both in helping me think more clearly and in translating my thinking into clear writing. He added value to both the content and writing style. On another project, he again did a fabulous job in pointing out lapses in clarity as well as editing my work to make it smoother and more readable. Most importantly, Chuck was a pleasure to work with. His style is positive and affirming, while at the same time holding to the highest standards."

Rita Lusgarten, who recently earned her Ph.D. in Psychology, says, "Chuck Burack is a great editor. I used Chuck in the final stages of my dissertation. I found his comments and editing to be extremely helpful. He is easy to communicative with, available, creative, and collaborative. Most importantly, I found his editorial comments to reflect and embody a comprehensive understanding of the main ideas of my work. I felt creatively challenged by his comments, and his questions for deeper clarification resulted in a greater refinement of my writing."

The novelist Margaret Murray said, "I loved working with Charles Burack's edits, one chapter at a time, and feel that the money I spent was well worth it. Reading my own novel through his eyes gave me insight and courage. He is very sensitive to a writer's soul.”
