Testimonials & Clients
Lindsey is talented, hard-working, and a great team member that any business would be lucky to work with. She is dedicated to any task assigned to her and makes sure that each one of her clients are completely satisfied. Her talent at writing is given, combined with her intelligence, dedication, work ethic and team spirit. I very much enjoyed working with her and would work with her in any capacity given an opportunity. She is a rare find that combines talent and work ethic. I would recommend Lindsey Townsend to anyone that is in need of excellent content and someone great to work with.
Lindsey is the most creative yet deadline-oriented writer/editor that I have ever worked with. She “gets it,” no matter what the topic or subject matter. She is extremely professional yet personable and easy to work with. Simply the best!
Lindsey served as both a freelance contributing editor and later as a full-time editor on contract. She helped lead our publication through a new design and creation of a successful editorial stylebook, implementing both creative design ideas and treatments along with editorial departments and features that distinguished us from the competition. She was consistently able to meet deadlines, control costs, bring in outstanding contributors and photographers and create a product that was enthusiastically embraced by readers and advertisers. She is immensely creative and a high performer, with the level of ethics and integrity that make her a great partner.
Lindsey Townsend was always ahead of the game. She was organized in every way and always prepared should someone else drop the ball. We often used freelance writers so she had to manage the work of many, write articles and edit too. Lindsey was greatly responsible for much of the success of our publication.
Lindsey is an extremely talented writer who can make ordinary products exciting yet understandable. She is very responsive, always aware of tight deadlines while responding to clients’ requests for a new approach to old copy. Lindsey is a joy to work with, maintaining a positive attitude throughout the most stressful projects.
The greatest gift to a publication editor is a reliable freelance writer who can be fully trusted with accuracy, thorough research, deadlines, and the publication’s reputation. Lindsey has brought all that and more to her many assignments for the various publications where I have served as editor over the past 20+ years. Her journalism training, her own experience on both sides of the editor’s desk, her work ethic, and her unique combination of relatability and professionalism make Lindsey my writer of choice for assignments on any and all topics. Lindsey delivers.

Both of these were dream jobs for me because they allowed me creative control. I was responsible for creating and executing the editorial calendar; assigning, editing and proofing editorial content; scheduling photography and styling for photo shoots; writing departments and features; and coordinating special events. Best thing about being an editor? You get to meet tons of interesting people—and everybody returns your phone calls
