“Ari is an amazing writing coach and editor. As someone who likes to develop and publish industry articles, I view writing as an essential component of our company's overall communication strategy. Not only did Ari greatly enhance the pieces that I had developed, some of which were in only a rough outline format, but she helped to refine and improve my writing style. Because of Ari, I am a much better communicator, and I have much greater confidence in my ability to communicate through written words.”

“Ari is the best editor. She helped me in the most difficult time during Covid with a GoFundMe statement. With meticulous words, she helped me elaborate on my staff's hard work and need for support, drew people in, and we raised about $10,000! The funding helped my staff get back on their feet during the pandemic. Over the years, Ari was my go-to and has helped me punch up copy for a website redesign, refine holiday card copy with warmth and passion, and edit correspondence to my corporate clients and guests. She's detailed, fast, and a pleasure to work with!”
