‘A pleasure to work with…creative, pragmatic approach’ “Sue is a pleasure to work with. She has a creative approach to her work and is able to engage the reader’s attention whether she is writing a hard-hitting business press release or an entertaining blog post. Organised beyond belief and able to hit the tightest of deadlines with apparent ease, Sue’s sense of humour and pragmatic approach can be lifesavers in the most stressful of situations. Highly recommended!” Anna Richardson, freelance journalist, http://www.linkedin.com/profile/view?id=89842029&authType=name&authToken=TUML

‘Copy really captured client’s brief’ “I recently used F Words to write the copy for a website project for a property development company. I asked them to completely re-write the about us section and create new pages for planning, interior design, architecture and construction. The copy really captured the luxury end of the market which the client was keen to target.” Martin Barfoot, proprietor, Brightsky Design, Surrey. http://www.brightsky.biz 

‘Tactful and efficient…informative read’ “As editor of Max Publishing’s 2011 yearbook for the housewares industry, the Cookshop Training Source Book, Sue dealt efficiently and tactfully with multiple sponsors to produce an interesting, informative, read. The book has become a key publication for housewares retailers.” Patrick Wade, Director, Media Projects, Sussex

‘Ability to engage with the reader set her apart’ “Sue has written a number of interesting and informative articles for the card/gift trade magazines, many of which have featured my business. I have always found her to be professional, accurate, well informed and fair. She has worked with both the retailer and the trade body reflecting the views of the industry. Her attention to detail and abilty to engage with the reader set her apart from others.” Karen Ebers, buyer, Something Special gift shop, Edenbridge, Kent. http://www.facebook.com/pages/Something-Special/238483859523422

‘I wouldn’t hesitate to employ Susan’ ”Susan is a first class sub-editor and writer. She is quick, flexible and brilliant at spotting even the smallest query or mistake on my part. She quickly grasped the terminology of an industry she was unfamiliar with and happy to work on to ensure deadlines were met. I would not hesitate to employ her. “Andrew Kidd, editor, Interiors Monthly magazine. http://www.interiorsmonthly.co.uk/

‘Professional and efficient’ “During my time working within the party industry I found Sue to be very professional as Editor of Progressive Party (one of the party industry’s trade publications). She was always efficient in dealing with editorial content and was a friendly voice on the other end of the phone.” Louise Coulthard, marketing manager, Diamond Sporting Group. http://diamondsportinggroup.com/

‘Humorous or intelligent slant on whatever topic she tackles’ “I discovered Sue’s creative writing through a link to her blog by a mutual friend. I logged on, and spent the best part of my morning reading and laughing at its cleverly written content, and am now a regular reader and advocate of her work – guaranteed to put either a humorous or intelligent slant on whatever topic she tackles (often both!). I would wholeheartedly recommend a look at her work.” Jane Crawford, partner, St James’s Place, London. http://www.janeecrawford.co.uk/

‘Friendly and helpful advice on writing and websites’ “Sue provided support and advice whilst I was setting up my own website and she was relaunching hers. She gave me useful tips and explanations on WordPress, which saved a lot of time and searching. Sue and I met at an NUJ conference and she has been a very friendly and helpful journalist colleague since then on any query or issue I had with writing, publishing and contacts.” Lisa Hitchen, freelance news and features writer, BMJ.com, New Scientist and other media titles. http://healthandsciencewriter.info/

‘We’re really pleased with Sue’s work’ “Sue provided the content and the site construction for our first-ever website and we’re really pleased with it. It looks neat and smart, is easy to use and provides visitors with all the information they need about our groups. The ‘links’ section, with loads of suggestions for related organisations that visitors might want to get information about, was a really nice and unexpected touch that Sue provided on her own initiative. We started getting ‘hits’ on the site far sooner than we expected, and had got a new member within days of the site going live, who had found us by searching on Google for Hiroshima Day vigils locally. The site looks likely to prove invaluable in communicating with our local membership and, combined with the Twitter account Sue set up, with a wider audience.” Tom Burr, co-chair, Reigate & Redhill Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament and Stop the War Coalition.  http://reigatepeacegroups.wordpress.com/ 

‘One of the best – organised and imaginative’ “Susan Fenton is one of the finest writers I have worked with. In my long experience, there have not been many journalists who combine the skills and originality of a feature writer, news reporter, sub editor and editor. As a writer she has a flair for putting an original twist on a stale story; as a sub editor she has an eagle eye; and as an editor she is organised, imaginative and inspiring, always managing to get the best out of staff/freelancers. She also has a wicked sense of humour!” Peter Thipthorp, former editor of Tableware International International Tax-Free Trader, Photoplay and Showtime magazines. 

‘A joy to work with’ “PR Direct has worked on a number of projects with Sue. In her capacity as a writer she completes her work in plenty of time – and with exactly the right touch! In her capacity as a commissioner, briefing other freelances, we have found her briefs to be concise yet thorough. Sue is a joy to work with!” Sarah Selzer, managing director, PR Direct, London. http://prdirect.net/

‘First rate – committed and tenacious’ “Having used Sue Fenton’s services for more than five years, I have no hesitation in stating that as a contributor to several of our magazines she is a first rate journalist – investigative, imaginative, accurate, with a huge attention to detail. She can bring life to the dullest and most tedious of subjects, and new angles to the most over-exposed issues. In her capacity as editor of one of our titles, she can be relied upon to manage and oversee the production of a consistently high quality magazine, to deadline. She shows commitment and tenacity in running the magazine unsupervised from home and great communication skills in liaising diplomatically with colleagues on the design, advertising, subscriptions and production sides of the business.” Warren Lomax, joint managing director, Max Publishing, London. http://max-publishing.co.uk/

‘Among the top 3 – skilled, experienced, reliable’ “Sue is an extremely skilled and experienced journalist. I wouldn’t hesitate to use her for news or feature writing. Of all the freelancers I have used over the past 20 years as an editor, she is in my top three as far as reliability, writing style and generating ideas are concerned.” Chris Boiling, editor, Cookshop, Housewares & Tabletop magazine and former editor, Furnishing magazine. http://www.indices.co.uk/products.htm

‘Very professional’ “Our publishing company collaborated on a frequent basis with Susan. Susan understood very clearly what we expected of her and she collaborated in a very professional way, respecting the format of the stories, the customers to interview and the deadlines.” Christophe Durrieu, president, Groupe Ouranos, Avignon, France (magazine publisher)
