“Out of the dozens of qualified candidates we had for the position, Lindsay was far and away the most talented writer.

Lindsay is an excellent writer who is able to speak intelligently on a wide array of topics in a manner that is both very accessible and yet sophisticated. She has an intuitive sense as to what the client is looking for, and though not hesitant to ask questions, Lindsay typically anticipates her clients needs even before they think to enunciate them.

Her friendly manner makes her a joy to work with, and anyone looking for a smart, reliable and talented writer/editor should look no further.”

- Rich McIver, Tuckers Crossing

“Lindsay is a brilliant, saucy writer who reads my brain!”

- E. Jean Carroll of Elle, Huffington Post, Ask E. Jean and Flaab.com

“After posting Craigslist Ads and receiving over 100 applicants, I narrowed the field to 10 and gave assignments. Out of these 10, 4 prospects actually completed the assignment, and Lindsay was the only candidate who completed it on time. Not only was it on time, but it was spot-on with my objectives as well.

As a result, she was awarded many more projects, and has always surpassed my expectations.

Her diligent market research on the topic, as well as the means in which the information would be disseminated, meant that I would always have a product that was above and beyond what I asked for.

Lindsay understands the difference between mere content and actual sales copywriting. There are many people who can fill pages with meaningless text that goes nowhere. Lindsay takes the time to understand WHY the project was assigned, and what the goals are, ahead of time, making her content 10X more potent.

If you are looking for a copywriter who is wise beyond her years, underpromises and overdelivers, and gets things done on time, I would strongly recommend that you give Lindsay a closer look.”

“When Lindsay served as an intern at the Washington Examiner, I could always count on her to respond quickly, accurately, and thoroughly to all my research requests — and with a terrific attitude as well! Lindsay has a strong work ethic and a good sense of what counts as real news. She will be an asset to any newsroom or office.”

- Quin Hillyer, associate editor, Washington Examiner

“It is my pleasure to recommend Lindsay Wood, a 2008 fall National Journalism Center intern assigned to the editorial pages of The Washington Examiner, for your consideration.

Unlike some internships, The Examiner provides real-world journalistic experience. Ms. Wood did research for our editorials and opinion features, attended editorial board meetings, and helped compile our daily letters to the editor column in addition to other critical tasks. In short, she was an integral part of our editorial page staff and performed admirably under tight daily deadline pressure.

Her ability to work independently under minimal supervision in a hectic newsroom such as ours will no doubt hold her in good stead in all her future professional endeavors.”

- Barbara Hollingsworth, local opinion editor, Washington Examiner
