Allan Fallow’s contributions proved that copyediting is as much art as skill.”

Allan Fallow, our first draft editor—intelligent, earnest, and charming in equal measure—expertly converted many a phrase, sentence, and paragraph from academic language to layspeak.”
— B. Janet Hibbs, Ph.D., co-author of The Stressed Years of Their Lives: Helping Your Kid Survive and Thrive During Their College Years (St. Martins Press, August 2018)
Allan Fallow’s skill as an editor is unparalleled. He was fundamental in helping me publish a piece in The Atlantic, secure a book contract with Princeton University Press, and publish in several top-tier academic journals. Allan’s feedback was vital at every level, from fine-grained grammar and diction suggestions to shrewd suggestions about storyline and narrative arc.
Each set of comments from Allan feels like a gift; he is witty, creative, discerning, and above all fun to work with. I could not recommend an editor more highly.”
