“As a professional journalist for 16 years, I understand the value of a well-written and interesting pitch. While working as a regional editor with Patch and as a bureau chief for an online news website in Massachusetts, I knew that when Kate presented me with a story idea it would fit my audience. Her proposals were complete, well-crafted and timely; Kate consistently submitted content edited to AP standards on or before deadline and often suggested or submitted complementary photographs. In addition, I regularly hired Kate to run the Patch site in Windsor Locks and East Windsor when the editor was away, a job that required her to produce and edit daily content, post to a unique CMS and oversee associated social media accounts.”
“I have enjoyed working with Kate, while my website was undergoing a redesign she helped proof and copy edit the changes. She also has proofread blog posts and social media posts for me, offering insights as well as copyediting advice. We have worked together on a few projects for different clients and she is organized, quick to respond and meets deadlines consistently. I would definitely recommend her services to others.”
“Kate has been an invaluable member of our team. She has filled in nicely and provided assistance with a variety of projects, from event management to editing/writing/pitching press releases and news articles, to social media audience development. Kate is the consummate professional. Not only do I highly recommend her without reservation, I look forward to the opportunity to work with her again.”
“Kate worked for me during my time as a Connecticut regional editor for AOL/Patch.com in 2010-2011. Kate proved to be one of my most reliable freelance writers and fill-in editors. Her articles were clean, well-reported and filed on time. She’s a conscientious worker, ethical and personable. Her duties included posting updates on social media and taking photographs. Much of her work for Patch was completed independently and with little guidance, and it consistently met or exceeded my expectations. Kate took the initiative to pitch her own story ideas, as well. Kate’s expertise as a media practitioner spans 18 years, starting at the Norwich Bulletin. She’s a sharp and clear communicator and has worthwhile experience in both journalism and public relations. ”
“Kate was a pleasure to work with—whether it was providing original articles for our monthly newsletter or maintaining our social media presence, she delivered great content on time and on point. She possesses the flexible writing and communication skills needed to cover a variety of topics. I would wholeheartedly recommend her services. ”
