Testimonials

"Susan is a first class sub-editor and writer. She is quick, flexible and brilliant at spotting even the smallest query or mistake on my part. She quickly grasped the terminology of an industry she was unfamiliar with and happy to work on to ensure deadlines were met. I would not hesitate to employ her. "

Andrew Kidd, editor, Interiors Monthly magazine.


"Susan Fenton is one of the finest writers I have worked with. In my long experience, there have not been many journalists who combine the skills and originality of a feature writer, news reporter, sub editor and editor. As a writer she has a flair for putting an original twist on a stale story; as a sub editor she has an eagle eye; and as an editor she is organised, imaginative and inspiring, always managing to get the best out of staff/freelancers. She also has a wicked sense of humour!"

Peter Thipthorp, former editor of Tableware International

International Tax-Free Trader, Photoplay and Showtime magazines.


"PR Direct has worked on a number of projects with Sue. In her capacity as a writer she completes her work in plenty of time - and with exactly the right touch! In her capacity as a commissioner, briefing other freelances, we have found her briefs to be concise yet thorough. Sue is a joy to work with!"

Sarah Selzer, managing director, PR Direct, London.


"Having used Sue Fenton's services for more than five years, I have no hesitation in stating that as a contributor to several of our magazines she is a first rate journalist - investigative, imaginative, accurate, with a huge attention to detail. She can bring life to the dullest and most tedious of subjects, and new angles to the most over-exposed issues. In her capacity as editor of one of our titles, she can be relied upon to manage and oversee the production of a consistently high quality magazine, to deadline. She shows commitment and tenacity in running the magazine unsupervised from home and great communication skills in liaising diplomatically with colleagues on the design, advertising, subscriptions and production sides of the business."

Warren Lomax, joint managing director, Max Publishing, London.


"Sue is an extremely skilled and experienced journalist. I wouldn't hesitate to use her for news or feature writing. Of all the freelancers I have used over the past 20 years as an editor, she is in my top three as far as reliability, writing style and generating ideas are concerned."

Chris Boiling, editor, Cookshop, Housewares & Tabletop magazine and former editor, Furnishing magazine.


"Our publishing company collaborated on a frequent basis with Susan. This collaboration began in 2003 with a new project regarding the seasonal industries: including garden furniture and Christmas products. Susan understood very clearly from our brief and discussions what we expected of her and she collaborated in a very professional way, respecting the format of the stories, the customers to interview and the deadlines."
