Testimonials

“It was a pleasure working with Jessica Scully. Even though we are on different coasts, I never had a problem reaching her and communication with her was easy. Best of all, she really ‘got’ what we wanted from the project and delivered a great product right on time. She also has a clear, concise writing style and all of her drafts were well-written. I would certainly use her again.”

— A Knowles, Career & Diversity Programs Administrator, American Physical Society

“Jessica Scully has become a mainstay in Chatham University's Master's of Professional Writing Program. In her most recent evaluations, students noted that ‘The instructor had great comments for feedback and offered feedback in a timely manner.’ This is crucial in an online environment, and one of the key criteria I look for in continuing faculty. Another comment: ‘The instructor is frank, to the point and minces no words. I've learned more from her than I have from an instructor in a very long time.’ And in the capstone course, where a student worked one-on-one with Professor Scully, her comment tells it all: for PWR 699 the instructor is ‘Very effective; very good.’ I am very confident in Jessica Scully’s ability to design and deliver student-centered online professional writing courses.”

“Jessica was one of my best writers at Progress. From profiles of scientists to more in-depth topical pieces, her stories were thorough, highly readable, and didn't require much editing—an editor's dream. She handed in her work on time and responded to queries promptly, and was very easy to work with.”

— Laura Buchholz, former editor, Progress magazine

“Jessica was brought on board as a member of our proposal team for some very important projects that we had chosen to bid on. She served as the proposal ‘producer’ by contributing organization of the information, strengthening the writing and making sure the proposals fully addressed the Requests, all while meeting challenging deadlines with professional quality, look and feel to the documents. In each project, we made it through to the next round.”

— Paul Wormser, Senior Director, Product Development and System Solutions, Sharp Electronics Corporation Solar Energy Solutions Group

We've enlisted Jessica's editorial assistance on a variety of projects and have been consistently impressed with her professionalism and ability to quickly understand the content and context of our work. The range of projects has included text for web-based tools, high-profile reports, chapters of a text book, and profiles of community health efforts. She is prompt and thorough, asks great questions, and has a real knack for reshaping overly complicated ideas and passages.

Jeremy Cantor, Program Manager, Prevention Institute

“Jessica is a gifted, conscientious, and patient teacher who prepares thoroughly and inventively for classes; presents material in ways that encourage active learning through class discussions and group work; provides detailed, helpful feedback to students; and is responsible, professional, and pleasant in how she deals with them, with her faculty colleagues, and with staff.”
