"Deb has been a fantastic resource for our company! She did a great job rewriting and editing the copy on our web site during our redesign and due to her work we are now extremely confident directing people to our site to answer their questions and know exactly what products they should begin with or what course to attend. Because we are a scientifically-based education company, our language is incredibly specific. Deb took our academic “neuro-speak” in stride and translated it for both our professional audience as well as the layperson. Her writing is clean, concise, simple to understand, and consistent which allows our website, brochures and other written material to clearly convey who we are and what we do. We could not ask for a better result from the work she has done."

- Kathy Mauck, co-owner, Z-Health Performance Solutions, LLC

“As the head of the consulting division of the company, I worked closely with Debra to provide communication materials to all of our clients.

"I joined Write On! in the Spring of 2002. I had written all of my life, even making up stories before I had learned to write. But I had never been published. (Other than my high school literary magazine, of which I was the first, and only, editor - if I had not gotten published under those circumstances, it would have been an obvious signal to give it up!) My first published story hit the newsstands within a year of joining Debra's group. She is an effective teacher and an engaging, perceptive team leader."

"I just wanted to let you know how much you have helped me on my journey with my photography book from encouraging me to just start writing to helping me prepare for the presentation/lecture for my first booksigning event. ... I really needed the knowlege and support you gave me for writing the photographer's preface. You said so many things that encouraged me to feel like I could actually write, like I could express my voice. ... Thank you for all the feedback and guidance you gave me. You truly helped me not only structure what I wanted to say but also encouraged me to feel like I could do it. You are an amzing teacher with so much knowledge. Thank you once again.
