| "Jodi DeLong has been writing freelance stories for The Chronicle Herald for years. Without fail, Jodi produces work of the utmost quality. Her work is unfailingly accurate, comprehensive and well written. She files her stories well before deadline and has an unending supply of interesting ideas. She is a valued contributor to our publication."
--Deborah Wiles, At Home Editor, The Halifax Herald Limited
"The 2 prairie agricultural publications that I work for have been using articles written by Jodi for the last three years. Although she lives in Nova Scotia, she has gone out of her way to ensure that the gardening articles she does for us are suitable for prairie gardeners. Jodi is an excellent writer who submits material ahead of schedule and supplies beautiful photos to illustrate her stories. The only editing required is done to match our style. In short "busy editor's dream writer."
--B. Thompson, co-editor Country Crossroads section of Manitoba Co-operator and Farmlife section of Grainews
"Jodi DeLong asked if I might write a favorable word or two from an editor's perspective about her work. No way. Why would I want to help one of our most accomplished, conscientious, and fun freelance writers find other outlets for her work so we end up short on copy and tearing our hair to find someone else to write what she could better? The nerve of that woman!"
--Dirk van Loon, Publisher and Editor Rural Delivery, Horse and Pony, Atlantic Forestry, Atlantic Beef.
"If you're looking for a writer who gets great interviews (and colourful quips), who needs minimal direction, whose writing has a friendly, colloquial tone,
who humours her editor (!), who shares her experiences to draw people in without making a piece personal and who writes well-rounded stories with tons of gee-whiz tidbits, consider Jodi. She captures the essence of what's important photographically, as well!" --Heather White, Editor, Saltscapes magazine |
