Client Testimonials

“Jennifer has a robust writing portfolio that is a great expression of her range of styles but doesn’t do justice to her practical skills that make her invaluable as a writer. She can make the leap into any industry and get up to speed in time to hit the deadlines with content that’s compelling, crisp and on target for your market. She’s that great combination of technical writer with a fresh approach that’s always welcome for a business plan or other business communication.”

Peggy Morell

“Jennifer took up our tuberculosis policy and procedures manual project and hit the ground running, even though this was a completely new subject to her. She was able to take a wide range of complex ideas and materials — from treatment recommendations to legal procedure — and deftly translate this into language that both lay-people and professionals could understand. She has superior writing, editing and project planning skills, and is also personable and funny. Jennifer proved herself invaluable, and I would welcome the opportunity to work with her again.”

Ram Koppaka, M.D., Ph.D.
Centers for Disease Control and Prevention/Coordinating Center for Health Information and Service
Former Director of the Division of Tuberculosis Control, Virginia Department of Health

VALHALLA by Jennifer Willis

"Jennifer is a dream to work with. I've worked with her on myriad assignments and I've always been delighted with her writing. She's creative at coming up with her own ideas as well as excellent at taking direction and suggestions. Her work is crisp, clean and delivered on time and in the correct format and she responds quickly and professionally to any questions. I highly recommend her for any sort of writing project."
