Cynthia B. Hanson: May 2009

ENDORSEMENTS

"Cynthia Hanson is everything a person could want in an Editor. She provides praise and positive feedback when appropriate, and her criticisms are clear and concise and result directly in better writing and, ultimately, a better experience for the reader. The project on which we worked involved two very technical chapters for a networking textbook, and Cynthia was an ambassador for the readers and represented them well. I hope to get a chance to work with Cynthia again." - Writer, Speaker, Trainer and Collaborator, James P. Cavanagh

"It was a high-pressure environment in which she and I had to survey the news of the day (as provided by the AP wires), choose which stories we wanted to highlight, and then rewrite the wire copy - all within just a couple hours each morning. ... Cynthia was cool under pressure, a skilled writer, and a totally pleasant colleague.... And she did it all with aplomb and grace." - Abraham McLaughlin, New England Bureau Chief and former White House correspondent, The Christian Science Monitor

“I always found Cynthia to be a person of keen intellect, high ethical standards, and boundless positive energy; all good qualities when running one's own newspaper. She possesses terrific editing skills and always shows a high degree of professionalism.” - Kathryn Mattison, former writer, The Princeton Outlook newspaper

"Cynthia was encouraging and full of humor. .... She was always open to experiments with page design, by opening a page up and make it breathe, rather than trapping illustrations in rectangles.... I very much appreciated working with someone who was so encouraging of that kind of design, as it helped me develop my own page design skills. Our collaborations paid off in several Awards of Excellence from the Society of Newspaper Design.” - Brian Lies, Children's book author/illustrator
