Testimonials“I've had the opportunity to work with Katie for nine years, both at a book publishing company and at two national magazines. She is far and away the best copy editor I have ever worked with. Dedicated, prompt, meticulous, and knowledgeable, she never misses the forest for the trees. She saved us time and time again from mistakes that had slipped by multiple other editors and fact-checkers. Her eagle eyes and precise editing always left me feeling secure that we were in good hands and turning out a premium product at the end of the day. Personable and professional, she is always quick to respond to questions and concerns. She is a true talent.”
—Kathy Wise, Executive Editor, D Magazine
“Shortly after I began working with Katie at Cowboys & Indians magazine, I gave her the nickname ‘Eagle Eye.’ It caught on among the entire editorial staff, because none of us had ever worked with anyone as dogged or fastidious as her. Nothing ever got past her. And I mean nothing. I have gone on to work with many editors at several other publications, but I know that if I ever needed a copy editor for a book or another personal project, she would be the first person I’d ask.”
—Jennings Brown, Senior Editor and Reporter, Gizmodo
“Katie’s value cannot be overstated. With her attentiveness to detail, willingness to step up in times of need, and ownership of tasks and projects, she overdelivers at almost every turn. When Katie works for you, she becomes more than just a copy editor or proofreader; she becomes a teammate in the truest sense of the word.”
—Catherine Adcock, Freelance Marketing Consultant
“Katie Buniak is hands down the best copy editor I’ve ever worked with. She's extremely thorough, organized, and a consummate professional. She recently proofed a 92-page annual research report overflowing with extremely complicated medical jargon and over 140 tables and charts. After reviewing her edits — in which she caught several errors and inconsistencies — our client was noticeably more comfortable and confident about the report’s projected completion and release. She plays an integral role in helping D Custom produce top-quality content.”
—Cory Davies, Director of Client Services, D Custom
“I’ve worked with many copy editors in my journalism career — some overly rigid, others overly lax. Katie is easily the best I’ve encountered because she’s thorough and meticulous while also understanding that publications employ varying styles and voices. She’s quite skilled at adapting to the style of whatever product she’s editing, and her editing goes above and beyond expectations. Her most important attribute is that she takes ownership of and responsibility for her work; she finds joy and pride in helping her clients produce spotless and clear copy. Any writer would be lucky to have her eagle eyes on their work.”
“Katie Buniak has copy edited and proofread SHALE Oil & Gas Business Magazine on a bimonthly cycle since February 2015. Katie is my go-to girl. I know I can depend on her to be efficient, reliable, and detail-oriented. She has an eagle eye for mistakes and fact-checks everything with great precision. She has made my life so much easier by just being consistently reliable and flexible to meet my deadlines. Thank you, Katie, for your work with SHALE!”
"Katie is an excellent copy editor and proofreader. She is careful, with an excellent eye for detail, and she is extremely fast and efficient. In addition, she is responsive and conscientious, making her a joy to work with. I recommend her to any client looking for freelance editorial help.”
—Neil Schlager, Founder and CEO, Schlager Group Inc.
“I worked closely with Katie for many years on a magazine staff, where timely, clean copy was the stock-in-trade. Katie distinguished herself as an editor who loved the work of making sure absolutely everything was right, from the sense of a sentence to the correct use of punctuation. Katie knows her stuff and can execute under deadline pressure with skill and grace; what is more, she does so with lovely manners and a delightful personality. If your project needs someone with eagle eyes who will care about your copy as much as you do, call Katie.”

From the start it was clear she understood the copy editing process and what was required to meet the quality standards of our national and international clients.

I enjoy having Katie contribute here at TPN and am proud to have her as a colleague.”

“Hiring Katie Buniak as your copy editor is one of the best decisions you can make when publishing your work. She is not only a pleasure to work with — professional and personable, hard-working and dedicated, and she always adheres to deadlines — Katie is a vital asset in the editing process, having an exemplary command of grammar, mechanics, and style. Her keen eye, years of experience, and unwavering dedication to her work have distinguished her as a top talent in her field. Among our editorial team, Katie earned the nickname ‘Eagle Eye,’ and in the five years I worked with her, she always lived up to her reputation. Her work is consistent, polished, and always accurate down to the last detail.”
—Holly Henderson, Managing Editor,
Cowboys & Indians magazine “There are some editors who are so quick to respond, so thorough, and so efficient that you’re not quite sure how they do it. Katie is hands down the most responsive, sharp, and supportive editor I’ve had the pleasure of working under. Not only was she always pleasant and straightforward in her communication, she was also always there to respond to any of my questions and concerns so quickly that calling it ‘timely’ seems almost silly. She was beyond timely — and beyond helpful.”
—Jaime Netzer, Writer and Editor
“Katie and I first started working together when she freelanced at a large advertising firm where I was formerly a full-time copy editor. She was the best freelance copy editor we had — always incredibly thorough and never hesitated to go the extra mile. She is always more than willing to offer her advice when it comes to working hard at the editing craft, helping me to become a better editor. Katie is a very talented copy editor with a keen eye for detail and a great memory of the rules of editing. I'm proud to have her in my life as a collaborator and friend.”
