“Ben is a remarkable editor, and it was my distinct pleasure to use his services to edit a Tedx speech. He deftly teased out the most pressing and complicated portions of the speech – he was skillful in making relatively complex and lengthy material accessible, concise, and interesting. Further his integrity is truly admirable; he provided me with candid feedback and constructive criticism. As a speechwriting editor, Ben has the ability to convey dense subject matter and a diaspora of issues into an organized, well-structured, easily understandable, noteworthy, and convincing format to a broad audience. Finally, he has an engaging outlook and brought a contagious enthusiasm and an infectious curiosity to the subject matter, which translated well into a clearly persuasive, powerful, and memorable speech.”
