Comments
Tony Tekaroniake Evans – Author and journalist
"Christina Dubois's talents are many. She is detail-oriented, cares deeply about the work of her clients, and is a pleasure to work with. Having worked on two books with her, I can attest to her sharp eye, research skills, professionalism, and adept use of language."
Sharon Sneddon – Author, environmental activist
"Christina’s creativity and technical expertise pulled together all the elements of my project into a polished, professional-looking book.”
Erich Ebel – Author, Historian, Communications professional
“Christina is, by far, one of the most professional and competent independent editor/designers I've ever worked with. Perhaps the greatest asset she has to offer is her impeccable attention to detail. I relied heavily on Christina to proofread and edit my work, make creative as well as grammatical suggestions, and keep a positive attitude. As an author, I will certainly be calling on her again for assistance. I think anyone who wants to produce the best quality product should do the same.”
Bill Layman – Author, historian, curator
“Since I first worked with Christina when I wrote an article in one of the first issues of COLUMBIA Magazine, I have felt great comfort in knowing she will take what I have done and give it additional value. Her natural good eye, attention to detail, and great skill at presenting materials in a manner that enlivens and enhances history is nothing short of a legacy that will endure beyond any of our years.”
Scott Schoenen – Communications Professional
“Christina is a superstar! I highly recommend her. I have worked with her on many publications. It’s incredible to watch her edit, design, and project manage an entire quarterly magazine!”
Stephanie Lile – Author, Historian, Museum director, and curator
“Christina Dubois is an accomplished editor and designer. She was the driving creative force behind COLUMBIA Magazine for many years. She's amazingly capable, talented, and detail-oriented. I've always loved working with her and admire her dedication to the field.”
Carolyn Simonson – Writer, Educator, copy editor
“Christina is a skilled editor. She excels at organizing, improving style, checking facts, and the myriad tasks of a most competent editor. She has very good ideas about balancing content, illustrations, etc. She works efficiently, following her deadlines, but does not radiate pressure while doing so.”
Kate Basart – Art director, book designer
“Not only is Christina a capable managing editor, but she is an excellent art director, designer, and a talented technician (great photoshop work). She is friendly, clear, and direct to work with, and I would be more than happy to work with her again.”
