EDITING & WRITING
Multiple Sclerosis Ltd – ACT/NSW/VIC
Lynn was recruited as our Senior Editor and Specialist Writer to oversee the development, writing and editing of information resources for people living with multiple sclerosis, including a new lifestyle magazine called Intouch.
Lynn successfully engaged with the values and strategic directions of the organisation and was able to produce a high-quality magazine that was relevant and engaging. Testament to this was the many letters of positive feedback from readers and their desire to contribute their own stories and experiences to the magazine.
Lynn worked collaboratively with senior managers, project coordinators, contributors and expert clinical reviewers. As a result, she established strong relationships built on trust, respect, and a willingness to listen, share and support. Her motivation and focus was always for the good of the whole. It has been an absolute pleasure working with Lynn.

Multiple Sclerosis Ltd – ACT/NSW/VIC
Lynn, I wish to thank you sincerely for the incredible support and help you have provided over the past week, especially in relation to getting the MS Forum information ready for printing. You helped us navigate through a very dense network of operational ‘fog’ in NSW – I appreciate your professionalism, wisdom and tenacity in guiding us through!

Lynn was a blessing. Not only did she help me pull together and finalise my (huge) educational product for market release, she also added immense value by showing me avenues that I hadn’t thought of before.

Odyssey Leadership
Every time I work with Lynn in developing copy for my business, I am met with intelligent, insightful and pragmatic results! She has been instrumental in creating my e-book, which is proving a valuable marketing tool. Her outstanding coaching and listening abilities along with her talented writing are second to none, and I wholeheartedly recommend her for anyone looking to clarify their message or story, and write meaningful articles. Without doubt, she has a keen eye and wit for the subtleties that makes my external professional communications outstanding!
Russell Hassler, Director
Australian Institute of Fitness
We had a large writing project with some tough deadlines and Lynn from Essence Writing delivered quality work, on time. Moving our training courses to an e-learning platform meant all our educational materials had to be reviewed and rewritten for the new medium. We had the content experts but not the writing experts. Lynn handled the professional writing and editing side with ease. It wasn’t just grammar and spelling – she ensured the e-books made sense, were concise and flowed. I highly recommend Essence Writing.

Simon Blow Qigong
Thank you for your help in bringing my books to fruition. As a self-published author you provided me with the professional edge that enabled my publications to become world standard. Lynn, I would recommend your services to anyone wanting to get their message to a larger audience.
Simon Blow, Qigong Master
Asian Aviation magazine
We hired Lynn to structure and write copy for a new aviation website that would boost our subscriptions and entice corporate sponsors to advertise on our website and in our magazine. With very little direction and limited information about the aviation industry, Lynn was able to write a first-class website that is easy to navigate and accurately represents our professionalism and commitment.

RESUMES
I was self-employed for a long time so when it came time for a career change, I had no up-to-date resume. I needed a resume that not only highlighted my qualifications and skills, but was also an expression of my new passion and vision. Lynn did exactly that. After sending out my new resume, I received prompt and positive responses which led to great opportunities and an amazing path beyond my dreams. I have no hesitation in highly recommending Lynn’s services.
Diane Montoya, Facilitator/Motivational Coach
My first meeting with Lynn was quite serendipitous. I had been thinking about my dream job – which didn’t actually exist – and when I mentioned it to Lynn she told me about the work she does helping people transform their life and career. I believe I was sent an amazing gift that day.
The way Lynn asked me about myself, my skills, my strengths and my passions started me thinking more seriously about what I wanted. Lynn had a sensitive and subtle way of inviting me to answer questions about myself. That was the greatest value in the process: me looking honestly and deeply at myself and recognising what I was capable of and what I could offer a prospective employer.
My new resume became a passport to manifesting my ‘dream job’ – it made me focus on exactly what I was looking for. So how did my ‘dream job’ search end? With my new-found clarity and courage, I created it at the company I wanted to work for and now I’m very, very happy.
Jenny Vrtaric, Multiple Sclerosis (MS) Nurse and Educator
I knew I had to do something to change my career, but I didn’t know where to start, where to go or what to do. Luckily I met Lynn who guided me in finding the right direction. Her ability to structure my thoughts and ideas helped me a great deal to find out what I really wanted. Furthermore, she wrote a very professional resume highlighting my key skills and achievements. I thoroughly enjoyed having Lynn as a career coach and I would recommend her professional and friendly services to anybody who wants to take a positive step forward.
Sonja K, Marketing Manager
The writing coaching I had with Lynn was enlightening on two levels. Firstly, it made me realise what I hold as important in my life, which has helped me prioritise my daily choices. Secondly, I came to appreciate even the small activities in my day or week as achievements to be acknowledged and celebrated. On a practical level, I found that the process of setting goals and being accountable every week for achieving them was a great way to get motivated and make things happen.
Lynn’s gentle questioning made me delve deep into myself to identify the source of my frustrations and find ways to accept or overcome them. Thanks to Lynn, I am more aware of what drives me and what I value in life, so I am better equipped to make choices that align with these values.
