TESTIMONIALS

"I'm forever grateful to Melanie for helping our son craft his unique and heartwarming Common App essay. She guided him to find that 'hook' that draws the reader in in an impactful way while also pulling at your heartstrings. His essay has left a lasting impression on those who have read it already and we're very confident to send it out with his college applications...Brava Melanie and thank you so much!"

Michelle F., parent

"When I was starting my own photography business, Melanie helped me set up an effective website that has worked really well for me. She was thoughtful, responsive and really easy to work with. I wouldn’t think twice about hiring her for similar projects in the future or referring her to my friends!"

James F., business owner

"Melanie helped me not only edit my essay for admissions to a master's program, but asked great, probing questions that led to clearer organization of my thoughts. She really cared about the quality of my writing and followed through in helping me with multiple drafts. And guess what? I gained acceptance into the program at Columbia University’s Teacher’s College!"

Kamyee L., grad school applicant

"Melanie Cutler was one of my best and most reliable freelance writers during my time as a managing editor. Her reporting and writing were always on point, she was diligent and professional, she never missed a deadline, and her work was always clean and easy to edit. And it didn't matter what the subject was--she could adapt and execute regardless of whether she had previous expertise on the topic. She has my highest recommendation."

Eric R., magazine editor

"We hired Melanie to explain our software product in terms that made sense to our customers. Internally, we didn't quite know what we wanted or even shared the same ideas. Melanie took our multiple viewpoints and created a strong narrative that told the story. Most importantly to us, she was great to work with. She was thorough, goal-oriented, and ensured we were completely satisfied through the entire process. I highly recommend Melanie."

Mitch Y., CEO

"Melanie has all the skills you'd want: she's extremely organized; she's an active listener who knows how to get to the heart of the matter at hand; she's articulate and decisive; she's a strong writer and editor; and, she's equally at home in a variety of media and channels. Melanie offers a great combination of creative and practical (right-brain/left-brain) abilities, and she's a pleasure to work with. I cannot give a stronger endorsement!"

Andy M., senior communication consultant

"Melanie is a strong writer and editor, and also a great project manager, who routinely interfaced with senior management. I can't recommend her highly enough."

Julie F., director of internal communications

"Melanie spent time getting a contextual view of our team before creating some powerful and engaging content for what can be, for some, a dry subject. Melanie made it engaging and absorbing, with great insight into how to highlight the key points that need to be understood. I loved working with her, as she brought a great freshness and professionalism to all of our interactions, whilst delivering to challenging timelines."

Nina B., chief data privacy officer

"I worked with Melanie on a training video for one of the largest, most recognized pharmaceutical companies in the world. She was charged with writing a video script that would ultimately become "A Day in the Life" of a patient suffering an incurable disease. The challenge was to infuse humanity and true empathy into this video while also teaching sales representatives about the process of a very complex drug delivery system. These two concepts created a juxtaposition that seemed impossible to achieve without compromising the clinical for the compassion. Melanie not only wrote a script that survived multiple reviews through the client's legal, regulatory and medical departments, but it ultimately translated into one of the most impactful training videos I have ever had the pleasure to project manage. I would not hesitate to work with Melanie on my next project as she is truly an artist with a probing mind that hits it out of the park every time."
