“ I’ve worked with AOE since 2001 and I want to continue to work with AOE during the years ahead for many reasons. They do not over-promise. They deliver material on time. They are sensitive to fluctuations of project budgets and they work with you. If they can’t knock out what you want ASAP, they find someone who can. If it’s a holiday or a time crunch, or a forgotten detail you just remembered, they work it into their schedule—accommodating you and taking care of it. They know we have hundreds of writers and editors out there to choose from and they fight for business like it was day one and they were hungry. They are talented, hip, knowledgeable, friendly and reasonable. (This is a personal opinion statement and does not represent the views of the American Chemistry Council or its members.) ”
