"Lesya's editorial work for one of our municipal waterfront development proposals was indispensable. She helped us organize and communicate an extensive and complex set of requirements efficiently and effectively, and she took the time to understand our values and design approach to represent our firm accurately and in the most appropriate way for the project. It was a pleasure to work with Lesya, and I highly recommend her expertise."
Kyoung Bae Park, Project Manager, Craven Huston Powers Architects "I absolutely recommend Lesya for anyone looking to put their writing out into the world for others to read and enjoy. Without her editorial insights, I would not have had the confidence to publish my novella, and I am grateful for the time and care she put into my manuscript. She not only made grammatical corrections but also offered fluency advice from the reader's point of view. I value Lesya's honesty and editing expertise and look forward to working with her in the future." Karen Toon, Author, War-Torn "Lesya completed excellent coverage work for several screenplays and novels, providing skillful and concise evaluations for the potential adaptation and production of these manuscripts. Her insights and dependability were impressive and invaluable, and I recommend her services with great pleasure and enthusiasm." Sonya Di Rienzo, Producer, Hawkeye Pictures "Lesya's editorial service brought clarity and impact to our business website. She listened carefully, asked provocative questions and drove to the essence of our story. She invested time and care into understanding the message we strove to convey and crafted carefully articulated language that succinctly captured our vision." Mark Ashby & Sonnen Sloan, Fold Architecture Inc. "I have collaborated with Lesya on several projects, including corporate climate action reports. Most recently, we worked together on the 2020 Climate Plan: 100% Renewable and Resilient Saanich while I was acting Manager of Sustainability for the District of Saanich. I could always count on Lesya's well-reasoned, thoughtful and honest suggestions. She made bold structural edits to the draft Saanich Climate Plan, which made a heavy document easier to follow. Her work helped my team produce a plan that conveys many complex ideas in a viewer-friendly manner. And her humour and professionalism made a challenging task on a compressed schedule easier and more enjoyable!" Ting Pan, Sustainabilty Professional "The Regional District of Nanaimo Recreation and Parks Department retained the services of Lesya Fesiak to undertake a variety of park planning projects including the coordination and development of a series of regional park management plans. Lesya’s excellent writing and editing abilities in the development of park management plans proved to be very valuable for all four projects. With Lesya’s contributions, the Regional District completed management plans that now guide the development and management of these protected park areas." Tom Osborne, General Manager, Regional District of Nanaimo "Lesya’s comprehensive manuscript assessment was invaluable as I worked on my second novel. I’d been wrestling with this project, knowing something wasn’t right, but I was unable to put my finger on it. With great respect for my process, Lesya helped me establish goals for exploring my concerns. Lesya celebrated the strengths of my writing with encouragement and enthusiasm, while having the confidence and expertise to point out problems with consistency in character development and in pacing of the plot. Lesya’s honesty allowed me to develop trust in her evaluation — from overall structure, to character development, pacing and narrative arc. I highly recommend Lesya for anyone interested in the pursuit of excellence in writing." Margot Griffiths, Author, Angel Hair "Lesya provided incomparable editing services for my book The Business Manual: A Young Entrepreneur’s Guide to Surviving the First Five Years in Business. In addition to the usual sentence level grammar and spelling, she offered indispensable structural and voicing advice in order to best connect to my intended audience. The entire experience was thoroughly professional and enjoyable from start to finish. I unequivocally recommend using her services." Gunnar Van Vliet, Author, The Business Manual "I do not think I would have been able to finish my master's degree without Lesya's help. She met all her promised targets and contacted me regularly for clarity on my thesis material. She helped me connect themes and communicate my ideas in a more focused and concise way. Her demeanour was always kind, caring and calm. She made sure that everything in my document was accurate, properly referenced and polished! I am continuing my studies, and I will be working with Lesya again, without question." Ellen Barbara Ross, M.Ed. in Special Education "Lesya provided me with an excellent evaluation of my works of fiction, first a novel and then a short story. She provided concise feedback on my work, with genre-specific ideas on which direction to take to improve the writing. I will gladly return to Lesya for more guidance in the future and feel good in recommending her services to anybody reading this!" Paul McIntosh, Writer "Lesya worked closely with me to create an artist bio and statement for one of my recent exhibits, and I appreciated her sensitive and thorough approach. She was able to distill and relay my process and intentions as an artist in a way that was meaningful and easy to understand." Kate Stefiuk, Artist and Designer "Lesya was a joy to work with. She listened well to my business journey and from the details created ‘Our Story,' which reflects our company values and mission in just the right way. This project was done with Lesya’s positive energy in a very timely manner for us. I would definitely recommend her work." Alicia Johnson, Managing Owner, Keep It Clean Solutions |
