"Thank you so much for writing the Success By 6 media release. I appreciated how you helped us identify who our target audience was, what we wanted to say, and what we were asking for. Also, a big thanks for going the extra mile in contacting the local newspapers to inquire about how they handle press releases. Your overall contribution to Success By 6 and the insight that you bring to the Initiative is very helpful."   

 

 

Susanne Willms Thielman, author of Susanne Remembers: A Mennonite Childhood in Revolutionary Russia
"About thirty years ago I wrote my memoirs of growing up in Russia. I didn't do anything with them until a year or so ago when my family urged me to make them into a book. After meeting Philip, I decided to hire him to organise my manuscript, add some of my father's writings, write a brief article on Mennonite history, and edit everything. He did a wonderful job and I am very happy with the book, Susanne Remembers.

"Philip is hardworking and indulges himself completely in his work. He is dependable and respectful of me and my work, and I knew I could trust him. In every way he was professional and easy to work with— patient, but gently pushing me when I needed pushing. Some of my writing was awkward in parts, as my mother tongue is German, but Philip smoothed it out while making sure that it still sounded like me.

"I am ninety-five, and I don't think I could ever have done this by myself. I am very grateful to Philip for making my book as good as it is. Without him my manuscript would still be sitting in a drawer."
