TESTIMONIALS

"Helena has been a creative, dependable and admirably plugged-in writer for TIME for more than a decade. Whenever we throw a story at her, we can always count on her to get to the crux of the topic and be confident that it will be written cogently, fairly and on time."

James Graff, former bureau chief
and senior editor,TIME Magazine

"In the many years that Helena has been contributing to TIME, she’s displayed all the attributes you could hope for in a correspondent. She’s a curious and thorough reporter, and a reliable and talented writer. Whether Helena’s working on a long-lead magazine piece or a web story that needs to be turned around within hours, we always know she’ll deliver something that’s on the mark and on time."

Jumana Farouky, former associate editor
TIME Magazine

"Switzerland is a very small and normally quiet country, yet Helena’s resourcefulness uncovers some fascinating stories -- from sheep hired to keep weeds from overgrowing around railroad tracks to Muslim customs that run counter to traditional Swiss culture to a town that hired a full-time hermit to live in a cave. Helena delivers those offbeat stories with thoroughness and humor."

Owen Ullmann Managing Editor/ World News
USA TODAY

"Helena was a regular contributor to USA Today during my tenure. She could be depended on to reach sources and deliver thorough and well-written stories on a range of topics, whether feature articles or breaking news."

Elisa Tinsley, former editor
USA Today"

"Helena wrote several articles and press releases for me. She is the best writer I ever worked with. I am very hard to impress, and I am also something of a perfectionist. That's why I feel so lucky and blessed to have found Helena. She is professional, knowledgeable, a fantastic writer and a real pro."

Nader Anise Esq. Boca Raton,FL

"Helena is a great editor because she is a highly skilled writer on her own accord and she takes the time to understand what the author is trying to achieve both with individual sentences and in the overall manuscript. While my publisher provided an editor for my book, I hired Helena on my own because she is so good at what she does. I have recommended her to other authors and look forward to my next chance to work with her."

David Koenig
author of Governance Reimagined

"For over a decade now, Helena has been writing our blog and editing manuscripts for our Simply Charly Great Lives book series. She's been an invaluable resource without which we would not be where we are today. Anyone needing a highly competent and experienced writer, would do no better than Helena. She's too marvelous for words."
