"Elizabeth is a creative, resourceful writer who informs and entertains with her well-researched insights."
- Keith Huang, The Wall Street Journal "Elizabeth has an intuitive sense of public relations, but what makes her highly competent is her ability to articulate clear messages and connect with the appropriate audiences. Elizabeth is the ultimate connection-builder." - Sylvie Sadarnac-Studney, owner, Kedrika Communications "Elizabeth is the type of person who delivers; she also happens to be a true polyglot communicator, seemingly as comfortable conceptually as she is digesting information. She's quick too. Quick witted and slightly manic which if you need help on a project is SUCH a blessing." -Nancy Beckett, Columbia College and Second City instructor, writing coach, and client "Elizabeth McQuern is resourceful, thorough, and very responsive." - Gale Kappe, former editor, Chicago Magazine "We've had a lot of writers come and go, but Elizabeth McQuern is one of the best we've ever had." - Steve Levine, publisher, Real Estate Executive (Houston) "Elizabeth McQuern is up front, very persistent, and does a great job." - Andy Rees, publisher, Builder/Architect,Real Estate Executive (Chicago) "Elizabeth is a naturally strong writer. She makes my job as an editor much easier because she understands how to write cleanly and choose the right words for maximum impact." -Manda Newlin, copywriter/editor, WordsCount "Elizabeth is very talented. She took Chicago by storm and in a few short years she has created a lot of buzz. She is a wonderful writer, has great business savvy and is very funny to boot." - Sarah Hadley, photographer, Sarah Hadley Photography "I read The Bastion since it started and have found it to be a fantastic resource for what I do." -Kirsten Ames, producer and manager, former Senior Producer of Talent for HBO's US Comedy Arts Festival "Elizabeth is a tour de force. In her tenure as managing editor of the Bastion, she dependably wrote and edited hundreds of articles and interviews. She's a team player with a keen eye for what's what." - Nate Sloan, publisher and editor, The Apiary Network "Elizabeth is a wonderful editor to work for. She pours a tremendous amount of energy into the Bastion, and maintains an excellent resource for the Chicago comedy community. Elizabeth is great at delegating assignments that might be especially interesting or challenging for the contributors, and she is always receptive to ideas that her contributors might propose. She is a delight to work with!" -Dyan Flores, contributing writer, The Bastion ,Time Out Chicago "Elizabeth is a talented and dedicated writer and comedienne. She's an excellent blogger, an extremely motivated go-getter, and a good and all-around funny person." -Mike Schramm, author, blogger, and editor "I've worked with Elizabeth in several capacities including contributing content to her website "The Bastion" and also working with her as a part of the Chicago Underground Comedy Show.
