“Edith is one of my favorite writers. She has written many articles for the magazine I manage. Her abilities as a researcher, writer, and storyteller always come through in the final product. She is consistently dependable, always meeting the deadlines I give her. Before I begin a project, I consult a list of freelance writers and Edith sits at the top of that list. She’s smart, easy to work with, and really cares about the quality of her work.”

— Chris S., Land Trust Alliance

“Edith takes the bones of a document—details for a press release, content for a website—and brings them to life PRECISELY as if I had done the work myself. Her "ear" is so keenly attuned to the needs of the project that it is just about complete from the first or second round. I have such absolute confidence in Edith's work that when I send projects her way, I essentially consider them done."

— Allison G., founder, North Shore Indivisible

“Edith is a talented writer and storyteller, but the real magic she brings to her work is her ability to see. Edith looked at our school’s brand from every conceivable angle, triangulating from the optimal vantagepoint before putting it into words. What unfolded was a light touch of our very essence, like a single stroke of brilliantly colored paint on a sparse canvas. She brought our story to life with nuance and character, boiling it down to its essential points.”

— LISS L., ASSISTANT DIRECTOR OF COMMUNICATIONS, ROSS SCHOOL
