TESTIMONIALS

"Working with Lou was fantastic - she knew all the right questions to ask to get honest, refreshing and interesting replies. She has a massive amount of knowledge of the winter sports industry and her passion is evident through her writing."

Chemmy Alcott, BBC Ski Sunday presenter and Olympic Skier

"Louise is one of those travel writers with a keen eye for detail and the ability to bring a place alive for readers. Her adventurous spirit comes across in her vibrant copy."

Jane Anderson, Editor, Family Traveller

"Louise is an instinctive, experienced, inquisitive and original journalist with a natural and versatile editorial style. She works hard and always produces good, clean copy."

Gail Major, Editor, REAL

"A star contributor, Louise has exceptional skill as a writer. Reader voted our most popular feature writer of 2016/17 feature writer, her heart-stopping account of Mont Blanc (a far, far harder commission) was wittily told, yet never for a moment belied the gravity of the situation.

"Louise has a unique blend of steely determination to achieve the near impossible, yet real intense emotional connection with the experience, which is a commissioning editor's dream."

Colin Nicholson, Editor, Ski+board

"Louise is warm, lively and intelligent and this shines through in her writing. It's so refreshing to find a writer who gets thing done to schedule with no hassle. Thank you!"

Rosanne Cobb, Director, Abambo Travel

"I've known Louise since 2007 when she worked on Closer's News/Features desk. She joined for one week's freelance cover and stayed for 18 months, proving herself a valuable colleague who excelled in the areas of investigative women's rights and health.

"Following an honour-killing murder trial at the Old Bailey, Louise traced one of the keys witnesses to a charity safe house, gained her trust and secured an exclusive, must-read interview.

"A competent, trustworthy, thorough and positive member of the team, her initiative at chasing stories, building rapport and her attention to detail and work to deadline resulted in some strong cover news exclusives for Closer (1 million readership)."

Karen Swayne, Features, News & Lifestyle Editor, Closer

"The UK travel guide is a huge success. We've printed 50,000 issues for 50 countries. We couldn't have done this without you."

Mats Ulenius, Marketing Director, EF Publications
