“I wanted to let you know that 2019 digital fundraising is off to a great start for our client. They have exceeded goals in each Q1 digital campaign we’ve worked on together, bringing them to $15K over goal year-to-date. Thank you for your great writing! We literally couldn’t have done it without you.”

“Amy is an excellent writer with a wealth of development experience, a rare and valuable combination. I’ve hired her to write articles for our President’s Insider newsletter, which goes to top-level donors at Robert Morris University. She knows how to shape a story that strengthens our relationship with this important audience and spurs them to action on behalf of RMU. I anticipate hiring her again and again.”

“Not only is Amy professional, organized, and dependable without fail, she is also one of the best writers I’ve had the privilege of working with.

She has superb skills in project management and the ability to coordinate with multiple people to communicate an organization’s story.”
