“Nicole is an invaluable developmental editor. During the first pass she looked at big picture stuff. Is this scene interesting? Is it easy to understand? Is everyone acting true to their character? Did they leave the house in the underwear they were wearing a moment ago, or did I put some clothes on them and just forget to mention it? (No really, that was one of Nicole’s notes.) She’s a great second pair of eyes on my work and I can’t thank her enough.” — Alan Lastufka, multimedia content creator and entrepreneur See All

“Nicole’s industry knowledge was a huge resource to me when I started working as a freelance writer. As an editor, she asks the right questions to get the best results from writers and always makes a final piece better.” — Meryl Williams, writer and social media strategist
“I took Nicole’s freelancing class. By the end of the class, I had submitted my first pitch, had it accepted and the article published. She guided us through the process of building a freelance career, with concrete steps to get started, ongoing resources for growth and answers to wide-ranging questions. She taught one of the most informative classes I’ve taken and she did it while providing individualized information for each member of the class.” — Beth Swanson, freelance writer and journalist
