“I’ve been assigning articles to Sharon for around three years. When I changed magazines a year and a half ago it was essential to me to bring her along as a regular contributor. Sharon’s research savvy means I can be assured that when she reports on a topic, the information is absolutely the most current available. Just as important, her writing is uncluttered and engaging, making my life easy at the editing stages. I’m very pleased to have Sharon in my Rolodex and I hope we’ll be working together for many years to come.” Brandie Weikle, Former Senior Editor, Canadian Family
“Sharon is a strong, versatile writer with a keen sense of storytelling. She also has a gift for hunting down leads, and quickly develops a rapport with donors, scientific researchers, caregivers and people in the early stages of dementia. Sharon is highly professional and fast, and a treat to work with.” Madelyn Herschorn, Former Director, Marketing and Communications, Alzheimer Society of Ontario. Current Director, Strategic Communications & Member Service, Canadian Health Food Association
“Sharon Oosthoek is a frequent contributor to ON Nature magazine. Sharon consistently submits well-written, thoroughly researched, articles on often complex environmental issues. She is deadline-oriented, highly reliable, and an asset to the magazine.” Victoria Foote, Editor, ON Nature
I can give Sharon no higher praise than to say that she’s low maintenance. As an editor, that’s the best I can ask for, because it translates into work that is smoothly written and a pleasure to read from a professional who cares about quality and meeting deadlines. Sharon brings curiosity, discipline and intelligence to her writing–in short, she gets it!” Nancy Payne, Editor, Canadian Wildlife
“It’s a real pleasure to work with Sharon. She has an innate “spidey sense” for what editors are looking for in a story and she delivers the goods pronto. Sharon is a boon to busy editors and publishers who need solid, clean copy with a minimum of instruction. It’s nice to work with a genuine professional!” Mark Toljagic, Communications Officer, Centennial College
