big or small the task. As a freelance writer for Back Fence Publishing, Lisa
has successfully contributed to visitor guides we publish on behalf of several

the writing assignment. She put a lot of emphasis on making sure she understood
exactly what I wanted. She did a great job of keeping me updated throughout the

"Lisa developed our grand opening
advertising campaign, which won an Ohio Bank Marketing Award from the Ohio
Bankers Association. Her "Just What Lancaster Needs...The Community Bank" theme
set us apart from other banks as we entered a new geographic market. She also
designed and wrote our brochures, conveying not only product features, but also
customer benefits. She utilized our color scheme and other elements for a
cohesive look with our other collateral pieces. On both projects, Lisa was
timely and easy to work with."

"Lisa has
been a great help to us in setting up a marketing program for this new
organization. She developed a regional media list that allows us to easily
choose the appropriate outlets for various kinds of events and programs. She
then helped us to create a format for press releases to best provide the media
with the information they need in a form that they can use with a minimum of
adjustment. She currently writes our news releases and is always prompt and
accurate. Her open, friendly demeanor and flexibility make her a pleasure to
work with. "

"The
thing I like most about Lisa is that she always delivers on her promises. When
she pitches a story idea, I know the finished product will include the
information she has said she will provide. And I know it will be here on the
day we agree upon and that it will be the length I've requested. If there is a
problem, she is quick to let me know about it and come up with an alternative
that I can live with. I also don't have to worry about having to do any heavy
lifting, editing-wise. All in all, Lisa is someone I can always count on to
provide the kind of well-written and informative stories our readers expect
from our publication."
