— Paul Clarke 
former associate editor 
Alaska Airlines Magazine


“I hired Leslie as an editor for my book, Wanderlust and Lipstick: The Essential Guide for Women Traveling Solo. Leslie's recommendations and vision helped shape the book into a complete and thorough final product. She was detail oriented, organized and had an excellent concept of the big picture from the beginning. Leslie's approach is kind, yet precise and direct, and she was skillful at coaxing creativity, personality and details out of me.”
