In all aspects - promptness, quality, communication - she has been great to work with; plus, she's very pleasant to deal with. In addition to excellently fulfilling the tasks specified in our contract, she provided a seasoned professional's advice and experience - she knows her stuff! Looking forward to working with Merilee in the future! Eric Gibson, New World Publishing

    I had asked Merilee to do a short write up for a social blog that included brand positioning and a tag line. She has done a fabulous job. Everything was on time, I liked the copy very much, and had almost no revision work required. I would highly recommend.
