Barbara is an amazing writer and a person I love working with because she writes from the heart. She completely re-wrote my website and it was our best performing site ever. Her process was so interesting, she interviewed me over several sessions and then turned the transcript into a fantastic website. I had very little tweaks! She’s the best.

Barbara worked as an editor and writing coach with me on a number of writing projects for marketing my healing business. Her editing suggestions always made my writing more concise, clear, and focused. She helped me target my audience and had a wonderful ability to then help me figure out just what I wanted to say to them. She listens very well and then comes up with terrific marketing suggestions. If you need a writing coach or editor, Barbara is a great choice.

Thank you for your articles in The Progress on the ministries of the sisters and the Northwest Coalition for Responsible Investment. You told an accurate story. This is rare as reporters/writers don’t often “get it.” You did!

I chose to work with Barbara to get my dissertation proposal finalized when a friend highly recommended her services. Working with Barbara was easy and very pleasant! She was very supportive of me during our interactions and even offered to be there for me whenever I needed to be motivated to continue my work. She was very prompt returning the proposal edits; I appreciate her timeliness. Also, my committee chair was so pleased with the edits Barbara and I made that she said my proposal was ready to be defended! I look forward to working with Barbara in the very near future and highly recommend her services to everyone.
