“Sandra is at the top of my Rolodex. She’s a first-rate writer who reports accurately, delivers her pieces on time, and is extremely easy to work with.”

“Sandra is one of those freelance writers whose work rarely needs even a nip or tuck. She perfectly balances the facts with humor and wit. Unlike many a freelancer, she researches the publication before writing, so she already understands the pub’s tone before even starting to type.”

“Accurate, on time and entertaining. Those are three of the best descriptions I can offer regarding Sandra's work. On top of that, her work is clean – a breeze to edit.”

“It’s rare to find a freelancer to whom you can assign a story, do no hand-holding, and then get back a well-written story before the deadline. Sandra is one of those freelancers. Whenever I assigned her something, I could rest easy knowing she would ‘get it’ and turn in something intelligent, balanced and witty. Not only was her copy clean and her style low-maintenance, but she could write about everything from coma survivors to Rick Springfield.”
