Education & Credentials

Reference Letter

To whom it may concern:

I have been working with Alice Maryniuk in an editor-columnist relationship since September, 2008.

Her Faith columns – well written, educational and enlightening – are well read by our diverse audience, no matter what religion the readers subscribe to.

Her articles are current, entertaining, relevant and uplifting. And we have several readers who concur with that – they flooded me with e-mails when we put Alice’s column on temporary hold!!!

She is a professional woman, she is polite, understanding and patient. She cares about her work and is dedicated to her craft and calling.

I would not hesitate one bit to add her fine work to your publication or website, if you desire to improve readership or create a loyal following of readers.

Alice is also flexible in that she can write to length, write in a style that best suits your publication, or will rework articles to fit your preferences, albeit I’ve never asked her to do that as I’m more than happy with her quality submissions.

Please do not hesitate to contact me should you require further information about a woman whose work I respect and admire.

Take good care and respect,

Testimony

I have worked with Alice Maryniuk for several years now and have found her to be an excellent coach. She has given me the tools and confidence to change old thinking patterns and experience new growth in my life. I have learned not to magnify negative things as proof of failure. I now realize that I have the right to refuse junk.

Thank you for all your support and for believing in me. Your sense of humour is always uplifting.

Anni Kraun, Abbotsford BC.

“I am 83 years old and have run a successful business for many years. I fell and hurt myself, but your articles really lift me up. I have had several appointments with specialist, doctors and nurses. I made a dozen copies of your article “Touching one life at a time.” As I would leave an appointment, I would thank them for their kindness and give them a copy of your article. You write in a way that a simple and ordinary person can understand. Your articles are very special and I enjoy reading them.” Henry

“I want you to know how much I enjoy reading your articles. They are honest, practical, encouraging and refreshing. Thank you for freely expressing yourself as you are very thought provoking and inspiring. I look forward to reading more.” Nancy
