Mary is a master at her craft when it comes to proofing and editing. Her
acumen in this field was evident when I handed her what I thought was a
fairly clean draft of my resume. Boy, was I wrong! She was very thorough
in her review of the document and she gave me clear explanations of her
edits. I especially appreciated the practical fixes she suggested to help me
express, in a crisp and attractive format, what I really wanted to convey to
potential clients. Thanks, Mary, for the excellent service you provide.

Mary, I felt much more confident about my book after my manuscript passed through your capable hands. My publisher offered their editors to work with me, but I was so taken by your introductory e-mail that I wanted to work with you. I felt as though you embraced my story, suggesting changes that enhanced it rather than took away from it. You manage to have a professional relationship that becomes a friendship as well. I was amazed by the amount of time that you devoted to editing, as well as the support and suggestions that you gave. I have more books in the works and you are the only one I want to edit them. Thank you so much for your dedication and expertise! 
As a professional Graphic Designer, combining written words with images in innovative and persuasive methods is a basic obligation. However, during the process, I may consider the words suspect and be uncertain about them — both on their own and when incorporated with typographic and other attributes. That's the precise point when I contact Mary McAvoy at Syntax and Style — and without hesitation. Mary will understand the intent of the visual messaging, and through her professional approach and skill set, offer improvements that always yield higher quality solutions. And she'll accomplish this with positive energy and encouragement. Mary McAvoy is a valued ally to my business.

“Opening a restaurant – even a small sandwich shop like Blunch - is not the easiest thing to do! There are many decisions to be made - about food, decor, music, employees, etc. You plan everything for your space - under the pressure of completing it in time for an announced opening. And, just when you think you might actually be ready on time, you remember that you need a presence on the world wide web! The same ideas and designs of your physical space now have to be put creatively on a website – so, the process begins again.....
In walks Mary McAvoy (of Syntax and Style) with warmth, a keen eye for detail, and an undying work ethic. Mary captured the feel of what I was going for. Then, with the utmost professionalism (and her personal way - right down to the ‘keep breathing’ emails!), she had my site ready as Blunch launched!!! I feel I not only have a fantastic web designer but I have gained a friend. Thanks Mary, once again....I love my site!
With the warmest gratitude,

"When I established my consulting firm, Mary helped me create the corporate identity, including website, business cards, and resume edits. I benefited from her outstanding writing syntax, and also the fabulous style elements in both her writing and her presentation. She was able to improve the delivery of my message without compromising my vision, concepts, or personal style."
"Syntax and Style produced two excellent resumes for my distinct needs. Each step of the way, the professional guidance, which included my collaboration, made me feel confident that Syntax and Style would deliver a quality resume and they did – with quick turnaround! And, Mary’s friendly manner made the process pleasant."
