"I've sent Monique assignments across a variety of topics and styles, ranging from product reviews to research-heavy blog posts. Each time, she returns a product that requires very little adjustment or editing. Her syntax is clear and easy for readers to understand, and she includes links to her sources in order to ensure accuracy in case there are any questions on that front. She is prompt to respond to feedback and returns high-quality work within requested turnaround times. Thank you Monique!"

"Monique is exceptionally talented when it comes to breaking down complex, dry business concepts and making them easily digestible to the reader. I have seen her tackle a wide range of subjects and she always turns in solid, well-researched work. Additionally, she is always timely in turning in content and a joy to work with and I would not hesitate to recommend her for any firm's content needs."

Rob Watts
Managing Editor @Forbes Advisor

"Monique helped us write technical marketing blog articles and case studies for MarTech companies. So she wrote B2B SaaS content that's really hard to write, and where the clients are experienced marketers, which is our agency's focus. After we've tried over twenty writers over the last two years, she got on the core writer team of just four. Besides the content writing, she's also professional and reliable about timelines, communication, or pricing."
