Had both a query letter edit and a synopsis edit done. Same DLA editor, David Lombardino, who did a very good job on both, Thanks David. Used them recently on a query manager query. Fingers crossed.

These guys do a very credible job and have for us for several years now. They give you an estimated time and deliver on time.

I watched David’s videos on tips after he reviewed my first draft . Upon his suggestions I got new perspective and rewrote my personal statement and feels it is on another level , more authentic and moving than before .

Happy to work with DLA editors! They helped me proof read my CV and personal statement. I have my first residency interview in just 2 weeks after submitting my ERAS application.

Amazing service! I had my personal statement reviewed and edited by Ms. Terry Cummings and I loved it. After the second turnaround my PS was ready to be submitted. Terry polished my story in a way I would not be able to do on my own. They are very experienced and professional. I highly recommend DLA editors!

At first I was not satisfied with the package I had purchased. After voicing my complaints over the internet chat box on the webpage, David Lombardino called me himself. He walked me through all the issues I was having and continued to work with me and eventually provided me with 2 outstanding personal statements. One of the better investments I made for residency applications
