  • Joel, you have an extremely sensitive as well as meticulous eye – it is most impressive.

  • Joel gave a master class on editing that drew on his expertise as a writer and editor and brought the abstract concept of “good writing” within our reach. I found myself feeling moved by the generosity of his editorial practice and the deep care he brings to the craft of beautiful writing.

  • I have never worked with such a talented research assistant and editor. I know Joel to be a brilliant, meticulous, profoundly motivated, curious, innovative, and highly organized editor, writer, and researcher in his own right. I am delighted to be working with Joel on what is now my fourth project with him and would not hesitate to recommend him.

  • Mr. Faber, let me salute you for the editorial work you did on my Butler paper. I must confess that I did not recognize at first that it was my manuscript—the format was so different. And then I remembered how university presses and first-rate journals once had people who were committed to getting things right. It brought back memories of how things once were. Thank you.

    W. Andrew (Andy) Achenbaum
    Professor Emeritus, Texas Medical Center

  • Joel, thank you for your terrific work this year on editing the UTQAP packages for three of our academic units. Your work has been instrumental in moving forward strategic initiatives for the Dean’s Office at UTSC.
