I enjoyed and appreciated working with editor Trevor McMonagle when I wrote my book, The Story of the Matthew Bible: The Scriptures Then and Now. This book was difficult to research and write, but Trevor was flexible, and adapted his approach to my changing needs as I went through the process. Trevor has an editor's necessary, careful eye for detail. He assisted with preparing a fairly complex style guide, offered good comments about word choice, and was supportive and encouraging. As an added bonus, he was able to offer occasional substantive comments as well as editorial ones. I highly recommend Trevor as an editor.

Unapologetic Stories

Trevor McMonagle's editing work took my book to a whole new level. Even though I have worked as an editor myself, I was impressed by his depth of knowledge, attention to detail and his insights on how to improve the content. And besides all that, he was enjoyable to work with. I highly recommend him.

Trevor, Thank you for your help. Your attention to detail and your reflection about my grandfather’s character gave me the assurance that my story was valid.

Recently Trevor provided his professional expertise to copy-edit our soon-to-be-published 125,000 word family history covering 170 years. His dedication and enthusiasm for the job, his attention to detail, his quick turnaround and his useful advice on some of the content really aided our project. I particularly appreciated the sheer joy Trevor brought to his craft. He was a pleasure to work with.
