"If your book isn’t springing fully formed out of your head, but is turning out to be a difficult birth, Bernadette’s deft literary midwifery may be just what you need. Attentive and abounding in suggestions, Bernadette has the necessary tact for the delicate task of the author’s auxiliary: helping you finish the job, not trying to do your job for you. My best recommendation is the fact that after my first novel, I hired Bernadette again for my second, a much easier delivery made even smoother by her sympathetic engagement and meticulous textual eye. All good books ought to be Berned!"

Adam Scribentis, novelist

"Not Alone  was first published in German. Peter Blank's book combined a high stylistic level, theological precision and a special ability to reach the reader's head and heart. It was then translated into English, which was grammatically correct but did not do justice to the original. As the editor responsible for the book—after the author's death—I engaged Bernadette O’Brien to do the revision work. She had the ability to grasp the author’s intentions and background, combined with a pronounced ability to communicate effectively. Thanks to her excellent editorial work, we now have this book of spirituality in engaging and reader-friendly English. I highly recommend working with her."
Dr. Alberto Gil 

"I have been fortunate to work with Bernadette while she was Assistant Editor of the academic journal Church, Communication & Culture for six years (2018-2024); in 2018 while I was Associate Editor, and since 2019 while I have been Editor-in-Chief. And I can say that the experience has always been highly positive, both in terms of proofreading and secretarial tasks. Bernadette is passionate about her work, precise and meticulous. She is also a good listener, patient and extremely kind. It has been a pleasure working with her."
