Here's what clients have to say ...

"Terry's ability to translate dry, technical planner's jargon into an easy-to-read public document is exceptional. His flair, organization, and creativity helped us tell an important story -- that Delaware's future is threatened by sprawl. Shaping Delaware's Future: Managing Growth in 21st Century Delaware, produced under Terry's editorial guidance, has to be the most readable and concise planning document I've worked on in my 30-plus-year career in state planning. Terry's assistance was simply invaluable."

-- David S. Hugg III, former Planning Coordinator for the State of Delaware
 

"Terry has a unique talent of taking very complex (and sometimes dry) subjects and delivering them in a very straightforward, understandable and interesting manner. His depth of local knowledge and network of key contacts has proven invaluable to us. I would recommend him to anyone looking for communications and public relations assistance."

-- Katie Finneran, Marketing Manager for Carl M. Freeman Communities
 

"For a highly technical program, it's essential that public reports are written in a language for the general reader, and not the technical expert. Nutrient management is a hot issue and Terry's services help us ensure that our reports deliver a clear message to the reader. Public information is too often interpreted incorrectly when language is vague, highly technical, or too specific. Terry keeps it all balanced and maintains focus on the key issues. Legislators have commended me on the quality of our reports and our ability to keep the message clear."

-- William R. Rohrer Jr., Executive Director of the Delaware Nutrient Management Program
 

"Terry's years of experience as a newspaper editor gave him insight on issues that were important to the public. We didn't have to bring him up to speed, he was already there. He added a public voice to our team, and was able to write quickly, concisely, and to our target audience. He shared his experience to help us reach the print media. He was fun to work with and clicked with our team."

-- Joe Farrell, of the University of Delaware's College of Marine Studies
 

"Thank you very much for the excellent job you did editing my book. I can't believe how much it has improved with your professional touch. Your expertise is matched only by your patience and professionalism in dealing with a rookie. I like the pride you take in your work -- your tenacity helped me realize that a simple word or phrase can make a dramatic difference.
I wholeheartedly recommend your services."

-- Chet Elder, author of "Dismiss with a K.I.S.S.," a handbook for administrators
