“ Your work on the last two editions of Here Comes The Guide saved my life!...I've had a hard time finding writers who cannot only write tight, engaging copy in our style, but can also deal with a wide range of clients (some of whom can be difficult) and even shoot photos when necessary. This year in particular you took on way more assignments than you had originally agreed to, got them all done on time and always gave me material that was easy to edit. I only wish I had more writers of your caliber. ”
—Jan Brenner; Author/Editor, Here Comes the Guide

“ I'd like to congratulate Melissa on a great media accomplishment: an online profile of Zaya Younan in Crain's Chicago Business. Over the past months, she's been developing a relationship with the reporter, researching story angles and sections of the publication that would be best to pitch for Zaya. The reporter told her a month ago they would NOT write a profile on an executive not based in Chicago. Even with this news, Melissa stayed in touch and kept the reporter updated on Zaya as a CEO to watch. Melissa's media pitching and relationship building efforts paid off! The editor profiled Zaya even though he's not based in Chicago and commented in an email that it was Melissa's diligence that won her the placement. Kudos to Melissa! ”
