Thomas Logan, founder and CEO of Equal Entry

Meryl came into my company and took control of our social media process recently. Immediately (within one month) we saw a 30% increase in traffic. Meryl has that communication factor that demonstrates she totally understands and connects with the social media world that we all work in. We are so happy to work with her now and will continue to work with her in the future!

Janine A. Schindler, founder and owner

Working with Meryl has been a pure delight! I had so many ideas of what I needed and wanted to say and in so many versions – I didn’t know where to begin. Meryl sorted through the all the twisted and tangled threads and wove them into a masterful dialogue that is proudly displayed on my website. It’s great to know that Meryl is there for all my writing projects. An international company contacted me because of the web site content she wrote.

This is a site that even I understand, so I know my members will also. I can’t believe how much you guys did in such a short amount of time. Unlike my original web developer, you listened to what I wanted and gave it to me without hassle. Thanks! (On setting up a business blog.)

Fred Diamond, president and co-founder of IES

Meryl has helped grow my organization, the Institute for Excellence in Sales, by effectively positioning it on multiple social media properties most notably LinkedIn and Twitter. She’s very attuned to getting attention on those properties and is also very proactive in helping her clients post frequently and optimally. She also has brought many fresh ideas to our organization, helping us achieve attention from prospects and new partners we didn’t know even existed! We made a great decision hiring her to help us.

Sara Oblak Speicher, founder and president

I have to say that working with Meryl has been one of the best experiences one can ask for! She is an excellent communicator (although we only use email), very clear on what is expected and she is always two steps ahead in the process, pointing out potential setbacks before they even occur.

Meryl has been highly recommended by another client and now I know why! The value she adds to my business and my clients with her writing and editing expertise is impossible to express with words (unless you’re a content maven like Meryl is). Most importantly, she’s very personable and responsive, and her attention to detail is remarkable. Thank you, Meryl, for all that you do!

Janet Johnson, marketing pioneer

We are fortunate to have been able to rely on Meryl to augment our internal resources here at Marqui. Recently, she was instrumental in helping us craft a white paper on blogging that helped us not only capture the spirit (through tone and manner) of the subject perfectly, it provided welcome entertainment along with technological enlightenment for our readers.

The paper has been (so far) downloaded more than 1600 times from our web site. And it is a testament to our collaboration that we’ve received compliments like this one: ‘Finally. A white paper not written by committee. How refreshing.’ Thank you, Meryl.

Meryl has passion, personality, and a persistent personal voice. She isn’t just followed by our subscribers, she’s adored. When they don’t hear from her after a while, we’re sure to get a few “Where’s Meryl?!” emails.

Lori Samuels, NBCUniversal Media, LLC Accessibility Director

Meryl is just an incredible fountain of knowledge regarding accessibility, closed captioning, and social media platforms. Meryl was kind enough to spend time with a group of us at NBCUniversal to share her perspectives on the factors that go into the quality of closed captions in both broadcast and streaming video. It was an incredibly impactful learning session for everyone. She’s also been my go-to source for best practices and tips to make social media accessible to everyone. I highly recommend Meryl as a digital marketing and accessibility expert!

Molly Holzschlag, author

Meryl K. Evans is not only a great editor and writer, her love for the Web and its denizens is apparent in all her activities. Whether keeping up with design and development issues via her own blog or other venues, Meryl is a leading voice in the cry for sensible, contemporary, and standards-based design.

Molly Holzschlag, author

Frank R. Sobyak, founder

Meryl is a recommended and an endorsed resource for timely, relevant, and actionable content creation. We’ve worked together and I’ve recommended her to many colleagues over the past 15 years. Most recently she supported our digital marketing team at Park Place Dealerships with the creation of new model year overviews for over a dozen automotive manufacturer brands.

Meryl is always interested in a positive outcome, and in delivering an exceptional result. And, she will recommend improvements or enhancements as opportunities for them arise. For this she is a trusted advisor.

She always delivers good work on time that meets objectives, while at the same time providing exceptional value. For this, she is a reliable and viable resource.

Meryl will delve into your brand to help promote it in a way that engages the reader and is creative as she weaves together her storyline. For this, I find Meryl to have great enthusiasm and creativity.

Plus, she understands search engine optimization and can craft content that ranks for keywords that will drive clicks, views, and shares. Bottom line, great person who delivers a great product at a great value.

Meryl is a joy to work with, whip smart, delivers her work on time and exceeds expectations, and is a great all-around person too! She has written several articles for a new Web site and takes pride in her work. I highly recommend her for this type of work. She truly is a content maven.

I had the pleasure of hosting Meryl as a panelist and speaker for the Global Accessibility Awareness Day 2020. During preparation for this online event, Meryl proved herself to be an incredibly helpful and thoughtful professional. She was also very well prepared for the presentation and her eloquence and insights at the event contributed to a relevant and valuable event for the participants as well as fellow panelists and speakers. I give Meryl my warmest recommendations.

Jeffrey Zeldman, author, founder, and publisher

Meryl Evans is a seasoned Internet professional and, dare I say it, unicorn, with a gift for social strategies and fluent, natural-sounding copy/editorial/SEO that advance her clients’s business interests and help them connect more deeply with their customers. I’ve known Meryl since the mid-1990s, when she was already an experienced web consultant and gifted writer. Her insightful early articles for my magazine, A List Apart, helped chart its course and establish it as one of the more thoughtful web design and development publications (which I hope it still is).

Jillian Fortin, communications director

Meryl is whip-smart, highly energetic, and incredibly captivating speaker and advocate. We invited Meryl to speak at our annual accessibility conference in 2019, and our attendees loved her so much, we had to invite her back for 2020! Meryl really takes the time to really get to know her audience and assess what their needs are, which helps ensure that she delivers relevant and helpful content each and every time. I loved working with Meryl and look forward to working with her again!

Ayana Cavelle Quackenbush

I recall quite clearly that it was coming down to the wire; I was just completing my thesis and the due date was impending. To be honest, I was barely able to review my paper or correct the grammatical and structural errors in my paper. Luckily, Meryl was recommended to me by a professor. I required that my paper be edited – approximately 100 pages – with a 3 day turnaround. I was surprised when Meryl accepted the task and was able to accommodate my request with such grace and calm. She was very thorough and the changes that she suggested made complete sense. Meryl, thanks, you played a major role the acceptance of my thesis, returning high quality work to me in a timely and orderly manner given the strict guidelines of the department and the short time I gave you.

Working with Meryl Evans was always such a great experience. She has this innate ability to promote whatever it is you’re trying to do/sell/share. Her language is always professional and comes across very natural. She helped our company grow our social platforms and did it with such ease! She helped us connect with physicians and potential patients, all while ensuring our messaging was clear and inviting! I thoroughly enjoyed working with Meryl and her collaborative approach to the success of our company.

Dustin Sullivan, Senior Site Content Manager, InformIT

Meryl is an important asset for our website. She is able to sort through a large volume of industry news and break it all down into pithy and interesting weblog entries for our readers, all with a writing style that is a perfect mix of technical and conversational. She is a dependable contributor; I know not only that she’s going to get her assignments in on time, but that they will be well-written and useful for our audience.

Howard Sherman, Chairman and CEO, Malinche Entertainment

Meryl’s down-to-earth and insightful advice can transform any website from a money-sucker to a money-maker. Pay no mind to the get-rich-quick snake oil salesmen populating the Internet; the path to riches on the Internet is a long road that must be traveled slowly. There are few people better equipped than Meryl Evans to make that journey smooth and satisfying.

I was fortunate to work with Meryl for several years on blogs and social media for my company. Meryl went above and beyond in every aspect of her work. Meryl’s writing is well researched, always targeted to the right audience and, importantly, interesting to read. Meryl has always been proactive to maintain an open communication and to make sure we achieve all our previously set goals and objectives. She even shared creative business ideas well beyond blogs and social media. I highly recommend working with Meryl.

Hank Stroll, founder of InternetVIZ

Meryl Evans is one of the reasons why InternetVIZ is in business today. Without her, the first overload of business would have sunk us. She has also made me aware of the need of clear and concise written communication. She has an accessibility and directness that is wonderful. Her intuition is great. I consider her a ‘trail blazer’. Finally, her work with eNewsletter Journal and The Remediator Security Digest are outstanding.

Ann Fields

I highly recommend Meryl Evans as a professional writer and content maven. I worked for several years with Meryl in the telecommunications field. She was an analyst in the Process department and she served on many key projects with much success.

As an analyst, she was responsible for the creation of technical requirements documents, test plans, and process flow charts. She facilitated cross-functional conference calls and hosted team meetings to initiate and execute key work initiatives. Meryl has many strong skills that are applicable to any industry. She has a keen attention to detail, a thirst for all things technical, an analytical mind for design, and a commitment to meeting deadlines.

Plus, Meryl has strong interpersonal and negotiation skills…and a great sense of humor! Needless to say, her writing skills and technical knowledge far exceed the average. Again, I sincerely vouch for Meryl’s professional skills and abilities and would welcome any opportunity to speak on her behalf.
