| "Our organization had decided to develop a large self-publishing website in just nine months start-to-launch and we had a large number of unspecified subject areas to create from scratch, yet be specific to the sites application. Stephen was challenged with understanding our overall concept and design goals and to start from a blank screen to develop “use information content” that would help users understand what to do. Stephen energetically leveraged his writing skills and knowledge of information architecture to produce high quality content that was a direct fit to our needs. We will use his services again." —R.W. at a publishing company. |

| "It is very fun and rewarding to collaborate with Stephen. His style is remarkably chameleon-like, whether we are addressing an older, educated market, or a younger carefree twenty-something. He does a good job of keeping a consistent voice that is on brand and very specific to whichever demographic we are targeting. He has always been flexible and very attentive to corrections and critiques. In our case, comments and edits come from several departments within the company. He listens carefully to each person’s perspective and incorporates their thoughts creatively. Stephen has always made his deadlines. The best thing about Stephen Barone? He is on brand and on time." —W.B. at an apparel company. |

| "Stephen worked on copy for our website. We list a wide variety of products, and what impressed me the most about Stephen was how easily he adapted relatable copy for many of the items that I'm sure he wasn't even familiar with. It showed me his versatility and command of commercial markets." —P.W. at an industrial supply company |
|
| "Stephen listened to me talk about my business for an hour, from technical issues to philosophical perspectives; ten minutes later he had a rough outline of the information I was trying to convey, and two days later the task was done: a task the previous copywriter couldn't achieve in six weeks and three visits. Time spent with Stephen doesn't cost; it pays." —S.M. at a food manufacturing company |
