You did a great job of assembling the initial story. I appreciate the sidebars of notes on the background info, "the real scoop"!

The story about labor shortages as a result of Hurricane Katrina is wonderful! I think it'll really hit home with a lot of people.

I wanted you to know how invaluable your research for my latest book has been. Not only were you able to find tons of facts and necessary statistics for my work, you also paved the way with people who are now endorsing the book because they first heard about it through you! Your hands-on, speedy and personal approach have provided many valuable contacts, as well as a CD and files full of facts my staff and I continue to utilize..

Marcia went above and beyond the project, using both secondary and primary research.  She was creative in her approach to competitors and tenacious in gathering information from a myriad of resources including the Internet, library, associations and even personal friends. Her work made a huge difference to my client as to whether or not to pursue their project.

I applaud Marcia's efforts to generate interest for my new book. We teamed to seek interviews with radio programs and started a dialogue with a national radio show. The producer showed strong interest, has asked for a copy of the book and in a few weeks I hope to be part of the plans to do a show about faith and addiction.

Lynxs CargoPorts is a dynamic, but small company with no in-house media expertise. Having Marcia on our media team allows us to tap into her years of experience, contacts and talents when we need to. Marcia is responsive, qualified and a pleasure to work with.

You are absolutely, positively correct in your assessment of Marcia’s journalistic skills – she’s becoming a real expert on our industry with a truly fresh perspective.
