WHAT OTHERS SAY ABOUT MELANIE VOTAW:

Deborah Grandinetti, Senior Editor, Running Press Book Publishers says:

"Melanie Votaw is a top rate professional. Within the last year, she completed three writing projects for our company. Each exceeded the editor's expectations, and each was delivered well before the deadline. The content was original, thoughtful, and well-organized, and required ridiculously little editing. Melanie is truly an editor's dream."

Debra Fine, Author of "The Fine Art of Small Talk" and "The Fine Art of the Big Talk," says:

“Melanie Votaw is a talented writer/editor who helped me with the editing of one of my books and was instrumental in the polishing of my manuscript. I admire her work ethic and have already recommended her to a friend, who has also been very happy with her work. I would not hesitate to recommend Melanie again to anyone who needs writing or  editing assistance.”

Brenda Bence, Founder and President of BDA International, Ltd. says:

"Melanie is a joy to work with, and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend her to anyone who needs help with editing/writing. She is very dependable and works hard to meet deadlines. Melanie will go the extra mile to make sure her work meets or beats expectations. She is very 'client-conscious,' consistently checking back to make sure the work she is doing is consistent with what the client needs. A delight to work with!"

Merrill Ronning of RonningLeadership.com says:

"Finally I have gotten a chance to look at your work. It is brilliant. Thank you so very much for your fine work and speedy delivery to this project. If I ever need some more help in this area, I know I can count on you! THANK YOU VERY VERY MUCH!!!! You are appreciated. If you need a referral, have them call me."

Mike Ghelardi, Book Author, says:

"Melanie Votaw edited my "How To" manuscript and did a spectacular job! She corrected all the grammatical errors, reworked many poorly worded sections, and suggested the deletion of sections which were self-congratulatory, speculative, previously presented, or detractions from the main theme. She turned a raw manuscript into a professional one, and I am gratified by the result. I would recommend her to anyone who wants a professional editor."

Michael Duke, Speaker, Coach, Consultant, says:

"Melanie took my very raw 22,000-word manuscript and turned it into a book-ready format. She is an excellent editor and writer. She kept the book true to my voice, yet made it very readable. Melanie is personable and professional. Her fees are an excellent value for the talent she brings to the writing/editing project. I definitely will use Melanie for my next book."

Alex Frangadakis, Director/Business Development of California Dental Arts, says:

"Thank you so much for all of your help with our speech for the California Dental Association show in San Francisco. The convention was a great success, and the presentation you delivered played a large part in bringing people to our booth. The professional presenter even thanked me for writing a speech that was in a conversational tone. Over the course of two days, we tallied more than 500 people who sat through our presentation. I look forward to our next project together."

Phillis Sylvester of Ballywho? Consulting says:

"Melanie is awesome. I almost never need to edit or ask for revisions. That's the beauty of outsourcing to skilled professionals. Not only do my clients receive outstanding work, but I'm free to focus on building great relationships with my clients."

Lee Rosen, Esq. of Rosen Law Firm says:

"Melanie has handled a range of writing assignments for us. She has interviewed our staff to develop material for our website. She has drafted collateral material for our direct mail campaigns. She has edited highly technical white papers and documents. We have used her over and over because we can count on her to get it right the first time. Melanie's work is consistent, reliable and technically excellent. She is a great, flexible, team player that can be counted on to complete her assignments in the allotted time even when we are in a time crunch. Melanie has been a critical element of our success and we wouldn't be nearly as successful without her excellent work."

Steve Kalous, Owner of Bavera Gourmet says:

"Melanie Votaw's imaginative and professional writing style has been perfect for my Bavera Gourmet website, brochure, and press releases. Her words bring my vision and products to life. She is also reliable, adaptable, responsible, and congenial. I recommend her highly."

Dan Davenport of Davenport Marketing Communications says:

"One of my first choices when I'm looking for an excellent Word Chef. Fast, creative, dependable, great writing, a pleasure to work with."

Adrian Teasdale of EuropeanTenders.com says:

"Just to let you know that we sent the press release out today, and so far I have had two calls from journalists who are writing pieces about us. May I thank you again for everything and I will be in touch for more!"

Dave Ikin, Innerbalance Pte Ltd, says:
"Outsourcing copywriting is new to me, and I was hesitant at the start. Melanie did more than reassure me with her prompt response to my requests. I had a tight deadline of four days. The finished marketing brochure was exactly how I wanted to a tee and more. She has a flair for putting all the key points into perspective - for easy reading. That's not all, I was impressed that the copy was completed a day early, and there was no need for changes."

Claudia Miles, MFT, says:

"Melanie has done quite a bit of work for me, and has excelled in both work requiring creativity and requiring linear, analytical thought. In one instance, she wrote a lengthy legal document for me in which she had to synthesize complex, abstract ideas in clear language - which she accomplished impressively. She's also written bios (mine as well as that of several colleagues), created website copy and helped refine several articles and short stories I've authored. In all these endeavors, her work has been top-notch - both her writing itself as well as her adherence to deadlines, professionalism, and communication skills. Overall, I highly recommend Ms. Votaw with no reservations. I intend to use her services again whenever I need them."

Ethan Eyre, AreUniverse, says:

"We really enjoyed this project with Melanie. She exceeded our expectations. I can guarantee that our company will be using her again. For anyone looking for creative writing services, look no further - select Melanie."

Wolf Krammel, President, MultiMediaHouse, Inc., web development company, says:

"Melanie Votaw has produced stellar website copy and press releases for my clients. She has the ability to pinpoint the problems in existing copy, tighten it, and package it for maximum sales. She is also very easy to work with and produces excellent work with rapid turnaround."
