“In 12 years as People magazine’s West Coast Bureau chief, I
dispensed assignments to hundreds of correspondents. Through all that
time, Susan Christian Goulding was a fixture on my short list of go-to
performers.
“Tell Susan what you’re after and she delivers. On time, on point,
with no need for hand holding or nudging. She is a personable, probing
interviewer, a fluid writer and a versatile, careful reporter--a
completely reliable pro.
“I recommend her without reservation.”
Jack Kelley
Former West Coast Bureau Chief

“I have worked with Susan Christian Goulding on several occasions
and have found her a creative, thorough, professional, flexible and fun
writer. Susan can write in a number of styles, from straight
consumer-style reporting to conversational-style features.
“Susan always hits her deadlines and needs little editing. The
rare times that I have asked Susan to reword something, she has proven
very open to fitting her ideas to the needs of the publication and has
made revisions swiftly. Her accuracy is impeccable. Other editors at
the Register who have worked with Susan also find her an outstanding
professional with a knack for writing in a smooth but unpretentious
style. Her best work reads like an energetic chat with a smart friend.”

“In the seven-plus years I have worked with Susan Goulding, she
has consistently demonstrated what a wonderfully talented writer she is
and has exhibited the utmost professionalism. She’s been an absolute
pleasure to work with.
“Her columns for the Daily Breeze features section have been
witty, intelligently written and clean--they need virtually no editing.
She writes about her life and family in a way that appeals to a wide
range of reader demographics, always maintaining a freshness and
timeliness to her articles. Pairing that with subtle humor is no easy
task, but Susan manages to do it. She’s unafraid to tackle just about
any subject.”
