I get high marks.

As a publishing professional, I have high standards when I select a freelance editor for my work. I am happy to say that Vanessa meets and exceeds those standards. Vanessa meets deadlines, her work is meticulous, and she always improves my writing. Her rates are reasonable and she is a pleasure to work with. I recommend Vanessa Hastings to you for your editing and writing work.

During my tenure as editor of UWyo Magazine, I found that Vanessa is a natural storyteller with an exceptional talent for writing about people. In addition to her keen sense of observation, she also has a strong sense of compassion for her subjects, which to me is one of the greatest attributes a writer can have. Regardless of the topic, Vanessa's stories have depth and texture, leaving readers with a clear imprint of a person, place, or moment in time. She is the literary equivalent of an accomplished documentary photographer whose images transcend our eyes to touch our soul.

Wyoming Medical Center is a complex organization, and it typically takes at least a year for new employees to learn the ropes of marketing technical services. Even as a freelancer, Vanessa immediately jumped into the role, extending our marketing group's efforts a great deal by helping us research and tailor our message in very specific and effective ways.

Vanessa, as our staff editor for over two years, worked on a wide variety of archeological reports and articles and then continued to help us as a professional writing consultant. She is quick to learn and apply technical and public reporting styles and distinguish between the two. Her attention to detail and ability to work under extreme pressure while producing high-quality output are impressive.
