Reilly Editorial
RE: Feedback from colleagues and clients
"Meg’s knowledge of the English language, grammar and attention to detail is unsurpassed. From start to finish, her project management and organizational skills always keep the job on track, ensuring accuracy and on-time delivery. She brings so much more to the table than simply dotting i's and crossing t's – Meg is an integral part of any production team!"
Bill Kelly, Kelly Design Company
"I needed help editing a letter and pitch that I wrote to Oprah, where I asked her to feature my Dear Sherry column in her online magazine Oprah Daily. Meg helped me to break up the letter into smaller sections and had excellent ideas regarding chapter headings. Her editing skills really brought to light in a clear, succinct way what I was trying to say. Meg worked efficiently, effectively and never left me guessing. She is a very clear communicator in writing and in communicating as she worked to help me. In every email exchange, she always said something to make me laugh. She is a delight! I highly recommend her!"
"We have been using Meg's editorial services for several years. As a marketing agency, we never publish any ads for our clients until Meg has reviewed them. Not only does Meg proof spelling and grammar, she also offers sentence structure suggestions that help provide clarity to the reader. Always professional and always thorough, Meg is an integral part of our operations. We highly recommend her!"
Samantha Kempster, Managing Director, Jade Marketing Solutions
"Meg Reilly must be the ultimate professional. In spring, 2020, I self-published an illustrated text book. I worked with a book designer and proofed the material 5 or 6 times myself after running it through the spell and grammar check in my computer. Meg had been an art student of mine and bought the book. Casting her knowledgeable eye she was alarmed to find, not only grave misspellings and typos, but a collection of much subtler punctuation errors, usage flaws and style inconsistencies, that she showed me with the gentlest of manner always letting me know when it was my choice to repair. Since the book was under a print on demand contract, I was able to have my designer correct the PDF and get it republished. I am able to sell the book with a clear conscience without having to produce a second edition. An astounding discovery by Meg may give you an example of the thoroughness and excellence with which she attacked the subject. She was able to detect at one point the difference between a lower case ‘L’ and a capital ‘I.’ What an eye!"
Dick Rauh, botanical artist and author
“In 2017, our organization decided to reinvigorate its languishing professional journal. Meg Reilly was brought in as our new managing editor. She was insightful and creative. Meg developed a visually interesting and classy journal that has been extraordinarily well received by our readers. The result is outstanding! I enthusiastically recommend Meg!”
Jim Horwitz, 2018 President,
Connecticut Trial Lawyers Association
“For over 20 years I ran the Commonfund Institute, which sponsored research into the investment practices of endowments, foundations, charities and healthcare systems. In addition we published articles, white papers and brochures on best practices in investing for tax-exempt institutions. It's not an exaggeration to say that Meg Reilly was a key resource in almost all of these endeavors. Her language skills, attention to detail, hard work and patience made her a vital part of our outsourced production team. I consider Meg one of the true professionals in the production and publishing business in our area, and would highly recommend her for any publication effort.”
John S. Griswold, Founder and Senior Advisor,
“Thanks Meg...Your work makes all the difference. C. was amazed, as I always am, at how meticulous you are. It looks wonderful. Thank you for all your brilliant work.”
Tish Gibbs, Former Executive Director,
Norwalk/Nagarote Sister City Project
“I owned a communications firm for 25 years and produced annual reports, magazines, brochures and conference collateral materials. I retired in 2016 and during the two and a half decades my business thrived I relied heavily on Meg’s expertise and eagle eye to prevent me from ever having to reprint a job or embarrass my clients. There is no doubt that I would not have had such a successful company without her knowledge of grammar, her skill at making a complex topic understandable and her willingness to always go the extra mile under pressure with production schedules.”
Susan Mansfield, former President,
Mansfield Communications
“Thank you, Meg, for our creative collaboration. Whether you are proofreading an Annual Report, or enhancing a few lines of headline copy, your talent, professionalism and keen attention to detail are an important part of the creative process.”

“Meg’s project oversight, attention to detail and superb client management ensured successful outcomes for every initiative on which I had the pleasure of working with her. She is a great team player with a super eye for detail and design. I give Meg my highest recommendation.”

“From a designer’s perspective, you want someone like Meg Reilly on your team. Meg’s role was vital in the success of much of the work I’ve done over the past 13 years; I highly recommend her editorial services. Her professionalism and patience keeps projects on task, clients happy, and produces a high-quality product. She has superior grammar and language skills, and her expansive expertise aids her ability to explain literally (yes, I mean literally) any topic, so even I can understand. Meg has an incredible eye for detail, and is ready and willing to jump in at any point in the process. And, on a personal note, in working together over the years, I’ve also come to know of her wonderful compassion and caring soul that could warm any cold day.”
