PRAISE FOR JODI'S WORK

"Jodi is a consummate professional. Working closely with Jodi on countless projects large and small was invariably a pleasure, and her keen eye and sharp editing made all of our work stronger and better. She is a delight to work with, and one of the best editors I've had in more than 20 years of professional journalism."
Sean McNaughton
Senior Graphics Editor, National Geographic

​

​

"Jodi always finds time to be thoughtful about her work and the work of others. Jodi was the conscience of the department, initiating discussions ranging from whether a word buried in a story was really accurate to whether a centerpiece could be tweaked (or substantially changed) to improve it. Whatever she is doing, Jodi cares."

John Strickhouser
Senior Copy Editor, St. Petersburg Times

​

​

"Writing projects from Jodi MacNeal will never be lackluster. She is just too talented. She labored over both of our resumes, which helped us land the jobs of our dreams. I hope you work with Jodi soon; you never know how her writing talents may change your life."

Steve & Teri Griffith

“Everyone who attempts to express themselves on paper should have a Jodi, who meticulously edited and improved this book. No thanks is good enough.”

Latimer C. Farr

From the preface to his book, The Southern Queen

​

​

"Jodi is one of the most multi-faceted people I’ve ever seen: writing, designing, editing, planning, supervising, etc. She is an outstanding, hard-working, caring individual who brings value and passion to any project she takes on."

Bill Van Smith

Deputy sports editor, The Miami Herald

​

​

"As an editor, Jodi stripped the fat from my copy, turning bloated writing and vague ideas into precise vignettes. That she could do this with grace and humor – and without also stripping my voice – attests to her skill."

Elizabeth Clarke

Managing Editor, The Palm Beach Daily News

​

​

"Jodi has a unique way of looking at usual situations or subjects and making them unusual... I wouldn't hesitate to hire her for any creative job in almost any medium. She's a gifted artist."
