“In 2012 we did a total redesign of our website. We hired John to write the content and we were very impressed with the high quality of his work. He wrote succinctly and clearly about the mission and goals of the Textbook and Academic Authors Association and about our programs and services. And John did more than just write: he also made suggestions for improving the site’s design and functionality. The site has been a great success, in no small part due to John’s ability with words. John was a pleasure to work with and I highly recommend him to anyone needing website content.”
— Kim Pawlak, Director of Publishing and Operations, Textbook and Academic Authors Association
“John, this was our vision for the annual report. You and the graphic designer brought it to fruition and we could not be happier. I enjoyed your professionalism and friendly manner, and I felt a mutual respect between us that made the project flow nicely. I especially appreciated you managing the project and keeping us all on task with the timeline!”
— Christie Van Aken, Director of Social Services, Housing Authority of Jackson County, Oregon
“I managed John for several website content projects for Cengage Learning. The projects required extensive online research and concise and clear writing, and all of it had to be done to the publisher’s exacting specifications. John gave us precisely what we needed, and he always met his deadlines, which made my job much easier. I heartily recommend John to any company or organization that needs a competent and professional writer.”

“John has been a great professional asset to the Mount Shasta Trail Association (a non-profit). Specifically, he wrote the content for our beautiful website, which received over 38,000 page views in the last year and has helped boost donations, membership numbers, and community support for our projects. John also provided valuable help with our newsletters, brochures, and briefing papers.”
— John Schuyler, President, Mount Shasta Trail Association
“We had a massive challenge. We were in the process of writing a full semester course on the topic of research and needed assistance in developing extensive ancillary materials. We first approached John Soares to help develop assessment questions. The results were so good, the course’s author had minimal edits. Next, we brought him in on the writing of glossary definitions. Again, minimal edits. Then we asked for his assistance with the instructor manual, where he helped us conceptualize exercises and activities for students to strengthen learning. John did an exceptional job on all fronts. He’s an outstanding writer, is completely deadline-oriented, and is a joy to work with. I would recommend him to anyone who needs help with educational materials. Thanks, John!”
— Cathy Bruss, Program Director at Frameworks Group
