testimonials

“As a regular content contributor for Priceline.com, Maria has proven to be a consistent, reliable and flexible writer. She is able to accept and incorporate feedback to adjust to specific needs. She is a pleasure to work with and I highly recommend her.”

— Donna Marino Wilkins, Hotel Content Manager at Priceline.com

“Since I began working with Maria in mid-2011, she’s quickly become one of my go-to freelance writers. I know I can count on her to turn in copy that’s clean, concise and on time—even when I’ve handed her last-minute assignments. Maria’s writing is always fresh, engaging and pitch-perfect in tone. She’s become a valuable asset to our magazine.”

— Julie Burnham, Travel Editor at AAA Living

“Maria is a very conscientious, responsive freelance writer who has fulfilled the assignments we have given her, often suggesting new angles and always getting the articles in on time. As she has grown familiar with our specific industry and audience, she has added more depth to both her feature and her column contributions.”

— Christine Born, Editorial Director at Collinson Media and Events

“I hired Maria to write a portion of a resource guide comprising hundreds of 75-word blurbs on shops and services. These listings had to be concise, clearly written, and packed with information, all the while not reading like ad copy (even more important: not borrowed from a business’ ad copy). It was a tall order that many seasoned journalists had difficulty producing. Maria made it look easy. Her professionalism and writing make an editor’s job effortless.”

— S. Holland Bivins,  Editor at D Family

“We hired Maria as an assistant editor at Southwest Airlines’ inflight magazine, Spirit. Her clips were great, and her obvious maturity and work ethic made her an easy choice, despite the hundreds of competing resumes we received. Her writing rapidly improved during her time with the magazine, and we promoted her to Travel Editor. I’ll miss Maria, not only for her talent but for her social grace. I’d love to work with her again.”

— Jay Heinrichs, Editorial Director at Southwest Airlines Spirit Magazine
