The Life Less Travelled
Ara Sarafian says:
I first contacted Caron in January 2012 for assistance with a writing scholarship application. She helped me with the structure and content of my application, the revision of my curriculum vitae and the thorough editing of my writing submissions. Caron was amazing with her dedication, attentiveness, support and encouragement throughout the entire, stressful process. I was extremely pleased with the end result of all the components and I learnt quite a lot in the process. Caron is professional, efficient and very motivated and I highly recommend her service.

Caron has helped me with ad hoc editing since 2002. I run a small company that keeps me on my toes so I leave the attention to detail to Caron for anything administrative that I need checked. Over the years she’s assisted with presentations, marketing material including brochures, price lists, my business cards, event flyers and, most recently, with my website. Even though she’s in another country I’ve never needed to worry about her keeping to my deadline. She’s efficient, thorough and communicates with me clearly.
Impresario Events
Kristine Petersen says:
Caron came on board in February ’08 to edit literature and marketing material for two fundraising events (held June 21st & August 14, 2008) organized by my freelance business, Impresario Events. She is an extremely professional and motivated individual with an acute attention to detail. She worked independently and followed through until the job was complete. Caron would be a tremendous asset for your company and has my highest recommendation.

I am a professional classical oboist but it was actually Caron’s inspiration that got me into the reed making business. In the last 3 years she’s helped me research my business, assisted me with the business model, the application for a grant, and more recently she’s been helping me with editing of my marketing material and website (all still work in progress). Caron isn’t just thorough, she’s also proactive and motivated to see me succeed and this has made a world of difference for my attitude to self-made success!
The Haerbinger Magazine (China)
Dave Hadley writes:
I am pleased to have this opportunity to provide a reference for the skills and activities of Caron whilst she was working as a member of the Haerbinger Magazine team in Harbin, China throughout 2009. Caron was recommended to me by a mutual friend as a reliable, witty and able writer of articles for our monthly magazine.
Caron was initially employed as a freelance writer, but quickly demonstrated her value as an all-round member of the editorial
staff. She wrote at least two articles for each edition of the magazine, one an assigned topic and one of her own choosing. Her articles were meticulously researched, well written and received with great interest by our readers.
Within two months Caron was assisting me with the editing and proofing of the magazine and I was able to rely on her to communicate effectively with other writers, edit their submissions and ensure that copy was proofed on time and ready for print. I rarely corrected anything that she had previously worked on, usually only to make changes from an editorial perspective.
I can confidently recommend her skills in time/priority management, attention to detail, using common sense and intuition and making good judgements. Caron is an active and confident team member and I am certain that she will approach any task with professionalism, preparation and diligence. I recommend her to you as a prospective freelance writer and editor with great potential. I wish she would come back to Harbin, but perhaps our loss will be your gain.
