Kenny Weill

“Amy was the lead writer for a federal grant application for one of my clients. With only a 3-week window to get it done, Amy delivered a well-written, concise narrative. She worked with several stakeholders in a professional, calm manner and generated a top notch work product. I look forward to working with her again.”

“Amy edited a 300-page document written by over 60 different authors for submission to Harvard Medical School. She did an outstanding job. The result was a beautifully written 300-page narrative, that reads ‘in one voice’ (not 60!).”
