Talk of the town

Here is what a few of my clients have said about me:

"Kira Vermond is a rare find in the freelance world. She pitches focused ideas, delivers on time and provides refreshing, well-researched, original copy. I truly appreciate her professionalism. Highly recommended."

 -- Karan Smith, Travel Editor, The Globe and Mail

"Kira is great to work with. Simply put, she quickly 'gets it' and delivers compelling work that often goes beyond what's required of her. In fact, her first draft is so good, it's nearly always close to final. What can I say, Kira makes it easy for acre to look good in front of our clients!"

 -- Richard Hill, Managing Director (former), acre

"Kira is a pro! She helps bring out the best of you as her client, and works quickly. That is a tough formula to beat. There's more - she will do it for you, do it with you or coach you to do it yourself! Kira added immeasurably in each of these ways, in different situations. She rapidly accelerated our ability to achieve our business objectives, and swung seamlessly between being an expert resource and an integrated part of our team, who really 'gets' what we are about."

 -- Steve Walmsley, President, Walmsley & Co

"What you revised was exactly what I had in mind. You absolutely did a wonderful job, what a talent, what a gift you have. Kira, thank you so much for your time and effort. I'm now more excited then ever! If you were here, I swear I'd kiss you! [smile]."

 -- Sue Costa, Partner, Tartine

"What's Up Kids? Family Magazine headed in a new direction this year with a focus on health, safety, education, and the well being of children. Our main objective was to keep a minimal number of freelance writers on staff who could carry us in this direction. Kira Vermond was first and foremost on our list. Her work is always well researched and accurate, written in an easy-to-read format, and handed in before deadline. Her finished product requires no additional work at all. She is an editor's dream!"

 -- Deanna Burke - Editor - What's Up Kids? Family Magazine

"As a frequent contributor to CMA Management, Kira provides our readers with thought-provoking and thoroughly researched articles. She does so in an immensely readable style, and always delivers on time. An editor can't ask for more."

 -- Robert Colman, Editor-In-Chief, CMA Management

"Kira's story on Diane Dupuy was everything I look for in a good author profile. It was thoughtfully written with such vivid detail readers had an immediate feel for what Dupuy is like in person. It was one of the best profiles I've received all year, and of course it was professionally delivered on deadline, which always makes my job so much easier."

 -- Suzanne Alyssa Andrew, Books Editor for the Women's Post

"We loved the honesty and smooth writing style of your essay and plan to include it in Balanced Parenting."

 -- Rosanne Welch and Dawn Comer-Jefferson, Editors, Three-Ring Circus: How Real Couples Balance Marriage, Work, and Family (Seal Press, May 2004)

"Thanks so much for your excellent work, and for the opportunity to work with you on it - hope we get the chance to work together again."

 -- Diane Cassman, Juvenile Diabetes Foundation (former)

Kira has written several features and columns for our business management magazine and always delivers top quality articles on time. Her style of writing brings personality and flare to every piece she writes without compromising insight, focus and clarity. She is always accommodating and flexible, and Kira's easygoing nature makes her a pleasure to work with. I can always count on Kira!

 -- Kristin Doucet, Editor of FORUM Magazine

"An excellent job -- well-written, well-researched and interesting. Good work, especially on such short notice. If you're interested, I'd love to pass more work you way in the future. Again, thanks. Really, really terrific job."
