P. of Development, Hallmark Entertainment / RHI Films: “Gail Cooper is a brilliant writer; her words glow on the page. She\'s our favorite reader, by far. Especially if she likes something, we can use her coverage to pitch a project and get it greenlit. She\'s clear, enthusiastic, and colorful in her point of view and great at characterizing complex material. She\'s incisive and on target in her commentary and critiques.” David H. Hubel, Nobel Prize in Physiology, Medicine; Harvard University“The editing I found absolutely excellent and have nothing but praise.\" Sterling Scruggs, Director, IER Division, United Nations Population Fund:“Gail Cooper is a terrific writer. She has the ability to take relatively mundane material and turn it into something that is interesting and informative. Her greatest skill, however, is keeping the reader interested by presenting material in a way that demands attention. In other words, she has a flair for political advocacy writing.”\"Gail Cooper did marvelous work for the United Nations Population Fund. She is a thorough and complete professional, and I and others in the UN would highly recommend her.\"Hugh O\'Haire, UN Public Relations Officer\"Gail has shown herself to be excellent at managing all aspects of the editorial needs of her account, including language, style, accuracy, and workflow. She is an asset to her team and to the department.\"(Current supervisor, H4B Chelsea)
