"I was interviewed recently for a feature article in a magazine by Roxanne in regards to my business and in particular a product I have developed. Being technical in nature I am always concerned that the writer may not “get it“ as has happened in the past. I spent approximately 15 minutes on the phone with Roxanne and during this process she listened and asked questions that I thought to be highly appropriate and showed how well she was listening to my answers. I felt she had a good grasp of what I was saying, considering it is a little difficult to understand the complexities of what I do, but I felt confident that she would be able to convey this in the article. I was extremely impressed when she sent me a draft copy, it was well written and constructed in a way the reader could easily understand. It is not often that someone impresses me with their capabilities in explaining in simple terms, the technical side of the product. I have no problem recommending Roxanne, she is very good at what she does and has the skills for asking the right questions and really listening to the answers, her grasp at conveying this in words is outstanding."

"From the time Millie and I sat down with you for the article interview, I knew that we were in good hands and with a journalist who possessed empathy and professionalism. Eating disorders is a delicate topic at the best of times but you totally respected our boundaries and the finished article was a true reflection of our discussions. You also went the extra mile and turned up at our ‘Main Event’ fundraiser evening to capture our daughter’s first public ownership of her own bulimia journey. Again, your article handled the reporting on the evening with professionalism and respect. Your article also produced a very unexpected result when the very next day (after the article was published) I received an email from Alan Parry Attorneys saying how impressed they were with the endED story and presented us with a $10,000 cheque from Sunshine Coast Community Enterprises. Thank you Roxy for your interest and support for endED and we look forward to working with you in the near future."

"Roxanne has a special talent to really bring life to words on paper so much so that I invited her to work with me as my editor for my first book ever Stories of HOPE Australia Everyday People Extraordinary Stories. Not only is she an extremely talented writer with many years experience, she is one of the kindest and most patient ladies I have met. She went above and beyond to help me turn my dream of writing a book into reality. I would highly recommend her services to anyone looking to write a book."
