Violet has an innate gift for teaching others what she knows and she does this so well. Violet always put an immense amount of time, care and thought into my writing – I can tell by how redlined my essays are. Violet has a talent for understanding a student’s voice and can advance anyone’s writing to a level of perfection and excellence. Beyond perfect grammatical skills, Violet’s style of writing and phrasing is so interesting to the reader. We have a joke in our family that whenever we don’t understand what the meaning of a word is, we always ask Violet and she always exceeds our expectations in her spot-on definitions of the words no matter how obscure! As a high school student who needed a lot of help with my college application essays, Violet relieved my stress because I knew with her eyes on my essay, it would be a good one. She made the application process more fun and every piece of her advice on my essays helped me so much. I would recommend her one hundred times, over and over again.

I write an investment letter that is distributed to all my clients, prospects, associates and friends every quarter. Violet has been editing and revising these letters since I started writing them five years ago. She is an invaluable asset to my business. It goes without saying that I would be embarrassed to send out a letter with typos or word omissions, but Violet's contribution goes far beyond catching simple mistakes (though she does that too). She transforms my writing. My sentences become uncluttered and my words resonate. Concepts are organized and presented in logical sequence, with flow. Violet's command of language and her impactful changes to my letters cannot be overstated. She is a rare gem. She makes my work, and therefore my world, better. Sending out an important business communication without her prior review would be a mistake.

My daughter and I have been the beneficiary of the value that Violet provides in reviewing and editing professional writing, memoranda and essays. She has a rare talent for providing suggested revisions that make the writer’s argument or position more succinct, forceful and persuasive. Undoubtedly, her years as an attorney have served as an ideal background for learning the best ways to present material in such a manner that the reader is immediately impressed by the cogent nature that facts are assembled into a final product. Violet is candidly a better writer than most attorneys I work with, many of whom have been practicing 30+ years. I highly recommend Violet when one wishes to polish up a draft document such as an essay, correspondence or resume before submitting it.
David, Attorney (Williamsburg, Virginia)
Violet has helped me succeed in my academic life to date. During high school, Violet helped me formulate ideas for essays and papers and deliver work product that was polished. Her assistance and insights helped me to express my ideas in my voice and helped me become a better writer. Her work with me extended past high school and I still use the tools she taught me today. During the college application process, Violet worked alongside me in developing my essays and editing them. As a film student, I had to write creative essays and Violet was perceptive and resourceful in her assistance. With Violet’s help, I am now at the college of my dreams in New York City and loving it! Violet understands students and is an intelligent and honest person. I hope you have the privilege of working with her.
Kelsey, The New School, Class of 2021 (New York, New York)
I work as a foreign service officer for the U.S. Government. Violet has helped me innumerable times generate work product that has impressed the most senior level officials in government, executives in the private sector and my partners at NGOs and in academia. With Violet’s assistance, I have not only submitted far superior product, but have myself received an education in words, grammar, sentence structure and organization, by studying her changes and applying them. I am proud to say that Violet is my absolute "secret weapon"! Violet also helped me with my professional evaluation that earned me a promotion last year. Every time I'm drafting a speech for an Ambassador, I try to channel Violet. If I could send her everything I work on, I would, but lamentably, I’m not allowed! I do often sit there thinking, “If only I could send this to Violet!” So, I send her everything I can and every time I am veritably blown away by her intelligence and talent. Violet’s knowledge is comprehensive and she adapts her skills and tone for any audience. Violet’s brilliant writing has inspired me to become better versed in vocabulary and grammar. I now receive so many compliments regarding my writing. I am so grateful to have found Violet and her incredibly rare and extraordinary writing skills.

Violet is nothing short of a magician. Violet drafts all my personal and professional correspondence and reviews all of my contracts. Her value goes way above editing or drafting. If I need to write an important letter and I’m in a hurry, I’ll sometimes send Violet nothing more than a choppy list of fragmented thoughts intended to convey my ideas and feelings. Violet takes this jumble and produces a fully organized, coherent, articulate and persuasive statement. Sometimes she includes concepts that I didn’t communicate—it’s like she can read my mind. Violet eliminates anything inflammatory or hyperbolic and sticks to the facts, nailing the tone for each recipient. She has a unique way of eliciting emotion through words and making an impression. When it comes to contracts, Violet will not only make the language perfect and free from ambiguity, she will flag issues that I didn’t spot, and work with me through the negotiations to make sure they are resolved to my satisfaction. On one particular high stakes project, Violet was consistently available and responsive, and her assistance was vital. When you read Violet’s writing, you can’t help but nod in agreement. Not to mention the vocabulary lesson I’ve received working with Violet! If you’re looking for your words to have emotional resonance and influence, Violet is the professional for you. I’m so grateful to be a recipient of Violet’s talent and gift.

Violet Wallach edited my non-fiction manuscript before it was submitted to publishers. Her invaluable understanding of story, structure, and language dramatically improved the writing. Writers immersed in a project often read what they think they wrote or fill in details which are not there or fully explained. Violet has a sharp eye for what’s on the page and what’s not and she helped bring the ideas to life. Her insight and editorial changes were instrumental in selling the book.
