Hiring Renee makes large projects easy.

“Recently, I found myself needing a complete re-write for a new website. I knew exactly who to call. I provided Renee with existing web copy, a new site map, and gave direction to shorten the content and change the tone to be more service-focused and friendly. Renee delivered. She re-wrote everything, organizing the content beautifully.”

– Zoë Shoats, director of communications, ReGen Monterey

One of my go-to luxury lifestyle writers.

“In her work for Pebble Beach and GuestLife Monterey Bay magazines, Renee consistently captures the spirit of place and delivers the perfect balance of context and insider knowledge that makes her stories interesting, informative and, best of all, memorable.”

– Steven Biller, editorial director, Palm Springs Life

Her work is impeccable.

“I have had the good fortune to utilize Renee’s writing skills for more than 16 years at Carmel Magazine. Her fine work has appeared in more than 60 issues. Renee is always ahead of deadlines and performs flawlessly at all tasks.”

– Steve Snider, publisher, Carmel Magazine

Excellent research, writing and storytelling skills.

“I can’t say enough about Renee. Besides bringing excellent research, writing and storytelling skills to an assignment, she maintains solid communication with her editor and demonstrates flexibility when the nature of the assignment changes. Thanks for all you do, Renee!”

– Duane Roose, national magazine editor

A skilled and detail-oriented writer.

“I hired Renee to write a highly technical white paper for Samsung. She produced a thoughtfully researched document and managed to distill complex ideas into a paper appropriate for all audiences. She took charge of the project immediately and required minimal guidance. Any organization should be so lucky to work with such a talented and professional writer.”

– Keane Li, writer, editor and media producer

Renee is that rare reporting and writing powerhouse.

“Renee uncovers offbeat characters and under-the-radar stories, communicates clearly (and oh-so-pleasantly), and files squeaky-clean copy promptly. Her descriptions are singular and dazzling, and she makes the creation of thoughtfully structured, well-paced, and absorbing stories appear easy. Renee has repeatedly made my job as an editor almost laughably easy. She’s truly a treasure of a freelancer.”

– Katie O’Reilly, former adventure and lifestyle editor, Sierra Magazine

A talented and highly professional freelance writer.

“Renee consistently delivers high-quality, engaging content that adds real value to our efforts, most recently with our destination marketing projects. She is easy to work with, open to feedback, and adapts quickly to our needs. Her thoughtful, well-researched writing has significantly enhanced our project and outreach efforts.”

– Stacie Jacob, founder and chief strategist, Solterra Strategies

A standout contributor and an absolute pleasure to work with.

“During the five years we worked together, I could always count on Renee for compelling story ideas and engaging, thoroughly reported copy that was on time, hit assigned length, and was damn clean to boot.”

– Eric Moya, former destinations editor, Travel Weekly
