Wendy Wallace, Copywriter
"The Freebird web site is great for us relatively inexperienced copywriters. The issues are always insightful and useful. They have broken down some daunting tasks into language and steps any of us can follow. I particularly found the web site creation series very helpful."
R. Krishna Avva, Copywriter
"I want to applaud the remarkable job you and your staff have done with the Freebird ezine. It is a great resource for copywriters and graphic designers or anyone interested in marketing. You came straight out of the gate with an excellent product. I get a lot of ezines about writing and photography, and yours really is the best and most professional I've seen."
Penny Warner, Copywriter
"I printed out all seven issues (including the Special Edition issue with the Peter Bowerman interview). I just spent three hours on my porch with all of the "Freebird" issues and all I can say is, Oh. My. God. They are AWESOME!!!!! Your TOOL BOX tips blew me away every single time. Your article on the Windows updates. Wow! Frauke's continuing series about setting up a website is invaluable. The interview with Peter Bowerman is wonderful. ALL your issues of "Freebird" are filled with GOLD. Solid GOLD. I'm SO glad I printed them all out. Now I've got them three-hole punched in their own "Freebird" BINDER!!!! The best part - Freebird is an ezine for and by students... students helping students Talk about teamwork!"
