Nate Bihldorff, localization producer, Nintendo:
Lisa has an incredible eye for consistency, and her writing skills translated into an excellent aptitude for writing for an interactive medium. Not only was she a natural fit for writing for expanded-audience videogames, but she's clearly someone who can adapt her considerable skills to fit any project.
David Brewster, publisher, Crosscut.com:
Lisa Albers is an extremely talented editor and writer. She is fast, skilled at dealing with writers and their copy, wide-ranging in her interests, fully skilled at Web technology, and a delightful colleague. She is one of the most impressive talents I've had the pleasure of working with over my many years as an editor.
Petyr Beck, PhD, publisher, Documentary Media:
From fiction to corporate history, Lisa Albers is a talented writer across the board. Her research is thorough and she gains the respect and confidence of her subjects in interviews and oral histories. Documentary Media has been very impressed with her ability to achieve fluency in the industries she researches and writes on. We look forward to working with Albers on current and future projects.
Barry Provorse, executive editor, Documentary Media:
Lisa is a tenacious researcher with a fascination for story and words.
Gloria Worland, senior marketing manager, Premera Blue Cross:
Lisa is distinctly talented in identifying key questions for topic analysis. She drills in quickly to gather information, write copy and delivers quality work that hits the mark.
Chuck Taylor, editor, Crosscut.com:
Lisa was my deputy editor at Crosscut.com. She is among the smartest people I have worked with. Her standards are high, and she is curious about everything, asks tough questions in a non-threatening way, and absorbs new skills and subjects very quickly. Lisa is masterful at coaching other writers. It's as though she used to be a teacher!
Leonard Lambert, author of The New Hawsepipe: A Comprehensive Guide to Merchant Marine Licensing and Documentation, published by Cornell Maritime Press:
Lisa Albers' editing and creativity as a wordsmith were vital to my manuscript. Her knowledge of the English language, coupled with her experience and education, made the book I had in my head actually materialize into ink and paper. Without her, my book would not have been published.
Dan Inveen, director of research, FA Insight:
Lisa has a special blend of competence, patience and professionalism. As a result, she adds a great deal of value to our writing projects and is a real pleasure to work with.
Ben Lukoff, writer at Crosscut.com:
It was a pleasure having Lisa as my editor at Crosscut. She was receptive to, but always judicious in choosing from among, my pitches; was pleasantly proactive in sending tips and assignments my way; was a refreshingly good line- and developmental editor; and was a fine writer to boot. Having worked as both a writer and editor myself, I can say that the next time I work with an editor, I hope they meet the high standard she's set; and the next time I work as an editor, I hope to meet that high standard myself. I would definitely work with Lisa again, given the chance.
Trevor Smith, chief technology officer at Crosscut.com:
Lisa consistently demonstrated a dedication to quality in her work at Crosscut. In addition to handling a large editing workload, she managed a network of complex relationships with authors and sources. Though I am certain that the work was difficult, she made it look easy and was always a positive influence in the workplace.
Sue Frause, writer at Crosscut.com:
As a freelance writer, I work with a lot of editors, and Lisa is one of the best. She gets it, probably because she's been a freelancer herself. There are only a hand full of editors that I enjoy working with, and Lisa is one of them. She's smart, supportive, communicative and always on an even keel. No hysterics or drama for her -- she also has an eye/ear for good writing and is totally supportive and encouraging of people who write for her. I only hope I have the opportunity to work with Lisa again at some point.
Mark Tibergien, CEO, Pershing Advisor Solutions and columnist, Investment Advisor:
Lisa was a critical part of our communication strategy at Moss Adams with a critical eye for how words are used most effectively, but with an writer's ear for prose. Her ability to translate complex concepts and text into readable documents and articles was invaluable. I am a particular fan of Lisa for her major help to me personally in the editing of my monthly columns for Investment Advisor magazine.
Philip Palaveev, partner, Moss Adams LLP:
Lisa really took our report for Pershing to another level with her edits.
Kathy Samuelson, graphic designer at Fishermen's News:
I found Lisa's enthusiasm for writing stories for FIshermen's News very refreshing. She brought a new perspective to a paper that has been around for over 60 years. On production weeks, she was organized and clear with her direction yet also open to other ideas. I felt like I was part of a team working with Lisa.
Lorraine Eckard, copywriter at Health Resource Publishing:
Lisa is an incredibly creative and intuitive writer who brings insight and emotion into all of her projects. When I worked with her at Health Resource Publishing, I was always amazed by her ability to take mundane assignments and make them resonate with our audience. She will make an excellent addition to any writing project.
