997's clients include students, academics, authors, and business owners. Here's what they have to say:
"Working with Ailén was an unexpected gift. Her professionalism, kindness, and good humour shone through at every crucial stage of the process. She has a remarkable ability to spot errors where you least expect them and offers thoughtful revisions and insightful feedback that help you see your ideas in a new light."
- Victoria Ríos Castaño, Researcher and Author
"Ailén Cruz was the copy editor on a 325 page book project of mine in 2026. The text was at times complicated mix of biology and music which still sought to communicate to both academic and general readers, a situation which she never resisted, but helped me to sharpen and develop. She worked quickly and efficiently, finishing her edits and our back-and-forth exchanges in a few short weeks. She had a sharp eye for detail as well as a sensitivity to the overall tone and direction of the argument. Our interactions were relaxed and informal, in the manner of a collaboration. I would recommend her to anyone."
- Robert Labaree, Ethnomusicologist and Author
"I have found Ailén efficient, polite and amenable to work with. Queries come back clear and concise, and copyediting jobs are always returned in a timely manner."
- Caitlin Smith, Production Editor at Boydell & Brewer
"For the last seven years, Ailén has made a significant contribution to polishing my professional and scholarly publications, whether through improving the quality of my expression, fact-checking the content, or ensuring the manuscript follows the publisher’s guidelines. She also has proofed my writing in Spanish, so I always know it is in excellent shape before submitting the final version to the publisher. Ailén is my go-to editor when I need quality, even in a time crunch."
- Dr. Lauren Beck, Professor of Visual & Material Culture Studies and Canada Research Chair
"Ailén is a dedicated, careful editor. She helps us to maintain a consistent style and rigorous scholarship standards across the articles and content of Imago Mundi. She is also kind, easy to work with, efficient, and responsive. "
- Dr. Katherine Parker, Imago Mundi Editor-in-Chief
"I use 997's services to proofread administrative and routine templates. I am very happy with the clarity Ailén helps me reach, it takes a lot of headaches out of daily correspondence!"
- Marcela Féliz, Spanish Teacher and Small Business Owner
