Donna Lynn Engelgau Koslow
Director of Programming Content, Discovery Health Online
Tamar was among 50 writers we hired to help us relaunch the Discovery Health site. Tamar was the best freelance writer we had—so good, in fact, that we went back to her repeatedly to write some of our most important online packages. In addition to being a great researcher and excellent writer, Tamar is absolutely great with client follow-through. What’s more, she is enthusiastic about her assignments, eager to please the client and most pleasant to work with.

Sr. Managing Editor, Case Western Reserve University Communications
Tamar was my go-to writer for cover story features. Tamar is the perfect health/sciences writer; she has always displayed a solid understanding of the content while showing an amazing ability to present the information in creative and engaging ways. She always goes above and beyond the assignment and turns in stories that require practically no editing. She is able to understand the audience and the specific tone that we are going for, and incorporate all of the angles we have requested, and more. Tamar is organized, friendly, always on time and a joy to work with.
Melissa Evans Persensky
Editor, Case Western Reserve University Think Magazine
Tamar is my go-to writer for science and health-related stories for CWRU’s Think Magazine. Not only does she consistently convey even complex research findings clearly and accurately, she infuses elements of personality and intrigue in everything she writes.
Grant Martin
Director of Editorial Services, Matthews Media Group
Tamar and I worked together on a number of projects for the National Institutes of Health in conjunction with MMG. One of the things I admire most about Tamar is her “can do” attitude and ability to project an aura of calm confidence—the word “unflappable” comes to mind—in the face of very tight time frames. Tamar’s work is extremely accurate, due in large part to her strong work ethic and meticulous nature. Tamar is also a very gifted writer; she has a knack for expressing a difficult concept in a way that her audience can easily understand.
Judith Willis
Editor, FDA Consumer Magazine
In the years during which I supervised her work, Tamar sharpened her natural gift for reporting and writing into an uncommon talent for bringing medical stories to life.... Tamar made my editorial job easy by meeting deadlines without exception and by submitting consistently excellent articles that I was proud to publish.

Bravo, Tamar! You did a superb job. You’ve addressed all the right points in the right style. What you have written is tremendously informative, engaging and readable. The sidebars are well-chosen and to the point, as are your graphic suggestions. I anticipate doing very little editing.
