Quote from Writing Coaching Client:
"I was hopelessly stuck and unable to make any progress on my way overdue PhD dissertation. Working with Melanie helped me to identify the old, unproductive habits that I needed to release. She also guided me to discover new, more effective techniques that not only lifted me from my rut but also have continued to serve me in my career as a college professor and award-winning scholar. Without Melanie’s help, I likely would have stayed stuck and would not have the professional life I so enjoy today."

Quote from Client who Received Public Relations Assistance:
"Melanie Rubin was incredible to work with and was able to place major articles in the two biggest Albuquerque newspapers the week of 2017 Indigenous Comic Con. This exposure absolutely helped increase the number of local people joining us for our Convention and highlighted the work of specific New Mexican Native artists, which was also good for their business. Melanie was able to get to the heart of what was important in her interviews with myself and one of our artists. She crafted and distributed a succinct and dynamic press release with photos to make it easy for the media to generate interesting stories on our work. She also facilitated communications with reporters, which saved me time during the busy weeks leading up to the conference. Finally, she ensured that each media piece would be unique, which was better for the papers. I recommend her public relations and writing services."
