What Clients Say about Hélèna Katz

"Hélèna is the best writer I've worked with as English-language editor at Les Éditions Jobboom. She is the rare writer who does it all: technical polish combined with genuine creativity. On assignments as different as engineering and law, she not only finds an original angle, but has calmly tracked down a difficult interviewee when other writers have been foundering. Every list of freelancers should have more names like Hélèna Katz."

Nathan Wilkinson
Former English-Language Editor, Les Éditions Jobboom

"I have had the privilege of working with Hélèna Katz for a number of years as editor of Your Foodservice Manager. Hélèna has written several stories for the magazine covering a wide range of ideas and issues and spanning several provinces. I have always found her to be a joy to work with: professional and creative. I continue to look forward to including her assignments in the magazine."

Jane W. Auster
Editor, Your Foodservice Manager

"Of all the freelance writers I’ve worked with over the years, Hélèna Katz stands among the best. I know that when I assign her a story – from a feature to a short news piece – it will come in clean, on time, and with no question left unanswered. Her work is consistently creative, thorough and dependable. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her for any freelance assignment."

Carolyn Cooper
Editor, Food in Canada

"What can I say about Hélèna Katz? Our little town needed to revitalize an old guidebook we were using and we contracted Hélèna to give us her ideas and writing skills. She gave us one of the best-itemized quotes I have ever seen, which made it easy to understand her offer. Then she proceeded to live up to every deliverable as quoted within the deadlines we discussed and we now have a new guidebook that is clear and informative for our visitors to Fort Smith. She made the job easy for us, which is important for a board made up of busy volunteers."

Chairperson, Fort Smith Tourism Advisory Board

"I wanted to thank you very much for this wonderful Query Clinic. Thank you so much for helping me organize my thoughts more effectively. It 's not always easy to see the forest for the trees in my own writing and you have definitely helped me hone my query writing skills in that department."

"I got some terrific ideas and coaching from Hélèna Katz a few years ago when she mentored me as part of the Professional Writers Association of Canada's mentorship program. We concentrated on recycling, research and marketing. Particularly helpful for someone like me out here in the sticks. Do people doff their hats anymore? Anyway, here's a doff of my Custom Helicopters cap to Hélèna."
