Professional Bay Area Editing & Writing Services that Help You Write Engaging Content

I had the great pleasure of working with Bob for more than three years while serving as the executive director of the California Native Plant Society. During this period, Bob became the editor for CNPS’s botanical journal, Fremontia, in addition to his role as editor of the statewide publication, The CNPS Bulletin. As editor of these publications, Bob effectively managed the coordination of content from volunteer and staff authors, design and proofing, printing, and distribution.

I found Bob to be highly creative in his approach to shaping content, patient yet persistent in working with staff and volunteer authors, and conscientious about meeting deadlines. Bob was also effective at peacefully resolving editorial conflicts with and between academic authors. One of the things I appreciated most about Bob was his ability to coordinate content on highly complex scientific topics, and edit and arrange them in a way that allowed those without a scientific or deep conservation background to fully grasp the material and underlying conservation implications.

Bob Hass combines a creative touch with disciplined, invigorating writing and editing. He communicates with power and precision in a style well suited to the audience. I’ve also been impressed with his flexibility in shifting between projects and meeting deadlines, how he interacts with our diverse project staff, and his ability to coordinate a multitude of tasks without losing sight of the details.

Bob Hass and I worked together for five years on the California Native Plant Society botanical journal, Fremontia, he as editor, I as designer. Having collaborated with five editors during my 31 years with the journal, I found Bob to be innovative in his themed-issue choices, and dedicated to producing the most interesting and superior publication possible.

Bob Hass immerses himself in the topic he is writing about, and does thorough research to communicate with utmost clarity and depth. He cultivates relationships with our faculty, whom he interviews often, and follows through on all parts of his assignments. He often has great ideas for other parts of our magazine, beyond his own work, and we value his opinion.

Bob Hass has provided high-quality editing and writing services to the Stanford Humanities Center for almost three years. His work is professional, timely, space-smart, and very reasonably priced. The center has found Bob Hass to be an excellent resource for its publication needs.

I was impressed with David, both professionally and personally. Everything related to the article was handled efficiently and pleasantly. He is a fine, unobtrusive, and conscientious editor, and it was a pleasure working with him.

I want to thank you so much for your wonderful piece on my music in Strings Magazine. Having just returned from a brief visit to Chicago, it was a lift to discover your magazine in the mail! The write-up was accurate and most generous.

I appreciate your fine article, to be sure a most useful commentary for the readers. And how neat and beautiful the setup!
