“ We are delighted with the Mason School of Business Annual Report . . .
. . . The report is lively and draws the reader into its pages – not attributes enjoyed by many annual reports. I turned to you for your writing skills. However, many of the design elements that make the report so appealing were your suggestions. I am enormously grateful to you for challenging me to be more visually daring. What a difference. Equally important, you were great to work with. You offered great support, direction and ideas, and gently, but firmly, kept me on schedule and on target.
Throughout my career, everyone I know who has been responsible for an annual report has met the task with dread. You made it easy and helped delivered a wonderful product. Thank you.”

"Leslie is an effective and efficient copywriter. She takes initiative and gets the job done . . .
. . . I collaborated with her on a very large and notable website project. She helped to clarify voice, goals and objectives of the content and developed the copy without delay, producing all needed materials in an extremely timely and streamlined manner. We have since begun working together on another project. Leslie is a great resource!”

" You have been incredible throughout this process . . .
. . . Given what we started with, I think we have a powerful report and your guidance and recommendation are the reason why. You dove into the graphic design and made that so much better! Thank you, Leslie. And, that no one is making any substantive changes to your writing, speaks volumes about how talented you are.”

"Leslie was wonderful to work with . . .
. . . In a previous position we had used Leslie
for her copy writing services and had fabulous results, so I knew she was an
excellent choice to use for our website. We had the bare minimum to work with, and Leslie was able to build upon nothing to provide the copy for a full website. I would highly recommend Leslie for any copy writing jobs big or small, she was on time, on budget and highly professional. I hope to work with her again for any copywriting needs we have in the future.”

"Leslie is an exceptional writer and creative thinker . . .
. . . who is an invaluable asset to our communications team. One of the highlights of my year was finding her to write our annual report. Leslie was able to translate challenging scientific terms into lay friendly, engaging paragraphs. Before our first project ended, I had already hired her for the next one. She made every deadline, was extremely organized and a fantastic project manager. It’s my pleasure to recommend her."

"Your friendly, professional approach creates good will all around . . .
. . . The angles and details in your written work make your stories come to life in a highly readable way. You have a good sense of rhythm and when to bend "the rules" to guide the reader easily through the narrative. At the outset, you clarify the goals and then reliably deliver what's needed to meet the goals of a given project or story, and within a reasonable amount of time. It's very helpful that you can balance the creative side (writing) with production tasks."
