    This is the second project I have had Karen work on for me. I am very pleased with her work. We settled on the terms of the project easily, she was very prompt in providing the articles and also some revisions I requested. I would recommend her highly.

    I found Karen very easy to work with . She quickly understood my particular requirements. I needed a few revisions but they arrived promptly. She was creative on a variety of subjects in my project. She emailed me regularly about her progress and plans.

    This was my first Guru experience, what an introduction. Karen was outstanding in all areas. She understood exactly what I wanted and was able to produce a speech that was appropriate to me and my business. It's quite amazing that she understood so well without much interaction. In addition she was amazingly fast, in fact, I was the one dragging the chain. Well done and thank you. I will certainly use Karen again.
