Kind Words From Happy Clients

"I have talked to many author about my book before settling on Amy. Amy has a very creative way to make your story a reality the way you want. She is very patient and asked all the right questions as I am not the easiest person to understand. I would recommend anyone to Amy."
"If you are lucky enough to get a chance to work with Amy, grab it! She is a pleasure to work with, and quickly steered me in the right direction. The only way it could have been better is if I had found her a year earlier! Her communication is fantastic, she is reachable and makes herself available. She delivered everything ahead of schedule. Her insights have been invaluable. The best way to sum it up is that when I reviewed her details, I decided to pay 4 times what I had been planning to pay, and it was a very wise decision!"
"Amy is phenomenal. A true professional who goes above and beyond! Her insight, writing ability, experience, professionalism, creativity and feedback were invaluable for my project. I wish there were more than five stars because she deserves it. I'd definitely hire her again!"
"Hire Amy... that's all that needs to be said. Whatever copy materials that you are looking for, Amy will get it done at the highest caliber of quality. She is excellent with her communication, thorough research and she really knows how to nail exactly what you're looking for. My only advice is to provide her with as much detail as you possibly can and it'll produce the best results. I can tell that Amy prides herself on being the best in the business even if she would prefer to humble herself and say she's only ONE of the best. But no, She IS the best!”
"I couldn't be any happier with Amy's work on my project. She is an amazing writer. She followed my brand messaging guide to a "T" and she is extremely efficient with her time. She has excellent intuition and will find just the right words to communicate your message to your target audience."
