PASQUALE RUSSO

"Pasquale’s editorial services were an absolute gift to my book "Going Deeper." His attention to detail is exceptional—he caught nuances and errors that had been missed by multiple editors before him. Beyond technical precision, Pasquale has a rare talent for true wordsmithing. I would recommend him without hesitation to any author seeking an editor who brings both rigor and artistry to the page."
—Dr. Eddie Capparucci, author of “Going Deeper: How the Inner Child Impacts Your Sexual Addiction”

“I highly recommend Pasquale as an editor. He brings expertise in the Chicago Manual of Style and supplies it with thoroughness and attention to detail. We recently completed a project in which I was the ghostwriter, and he respected my work and the author’s unique style. He is always focused on preserving the writer’s voice and intent. His warm and encouraging personality make him a joy to work with, and his sense of humor keep it light without losing professionalism.”
—John Feaver, Freelance ghostwriter and editor

“Pat Russo is the gift that makes the dream of writing books come true. As a ghostwriter, he is professional, timely and most of all, he “gets it.” He knows how to connect with your thoughts and articulate them. I continue to recommend Pat to anyone who needs a ghostwriter to transform their dreams into reality."
—Dr. Samuel R. Chand, international leadership consultant, author of “LadderShifts”

"Writing a book was new for me and I had no idea where to start. As my ghostwriter, Pat was kind and patient. He clearly explained everything we needed to do. Law enforcement can be especially difficult because of all the slang, yet he seemed to pick it up almost immediately. He even knew the right questions to jog my memory. People who knew me said the book sounds just like me. I said the same thing when I read the final version. Pat is a true professional and it was a pleasure to work with him. He made my dreams come true."
—Louie McKinney, former director, U.S. Marshals Service, author of “One Marshal’s Badge”

"Pat did an incredible job learning what I wanted to say and saying it with my voice. He took my material, organized it well and fleshed it out with great skill. I can't imagine a better process or outcome."
—Mark McGrath, author of “A Forgotten Gospel”

"From my very first conversation with Pat, I recognized that he was committed to his craft and those he works with. Pat encouraged my writing style and creativity while offering his expertise in a very appropriate and unassuming manner. He made the whole experience comfortable and rewarding. Without Pat, I would still have an unfinished and unedited manuscript with ‘potential.’"
—Jose Rosado, author of “Being Good at Being Bad”


"Pasquale is incredibly thorough in his review of work, and it's greatly appreciated. He's got a keen eye for detail and knows our standards incredibly well. I appreciate how he provides his feedback. It's thoughtful and clear when it's a matter-of-fact edit that needs to be made. When his feedback is more of a POV on language use, he provides it in a way that is easy to understand his position while giving us the flexibility of deciding whether to adopt or pass on making that change."
—Sz Donnelly, Content VP, JPMorgan Chase

"Pat has been a freelance writer for Food Logistics magazine for almost 10 years, producing more than 50 feature articles and case studies on a variety of topics. His articles are always thoroughly researched and well written -- and he's never missed a deadline. Pat can take dry, complicated information and make it interesting and easy to understand."
—Kathy Doherty, editor-in-chief, "Food Logistics"

"Pat Russo is a talented writer... He is extremely creative and has a way of writing web content that is interesting, clever, and understandable. I personally value his opinion and run my own online marketing copy by him for insight and ideas all the time. He's not only gifted and kind, but he's also detail oriented analytical, resourceful and always ahead of deadline. He's a rare gem."
—Cat Sommer, VP, Social media digital marketing, Wells Fargo Home Lending

"Pasquale has been fantastic to work with. As a product manager, I often knew what I wanted to convey to clients, but not always how to best say it. This was where Pasquale came in. He would take the time to understand the rationale behind the content and was not afraid to ask questions as needed to make sure he truly understood. Without his expertise in this area, I believe our products would not have been nearly as successful."
—Scott Thomason, Product management leader, Problem solver, Visionary

“I had the pleasure of working with Pat on several e-learning projects while he was at AT&T, Pat has exceptionally strong instructional design and writing skills. In addition, he’s an outstanding project manager and has excellent interpersonal skills. I recommend Pat without reservation and know he would make a wonderful contribution to any organization fortunate enough to hire him. “
—Marilyn Jones, President, MicroTraining Associated, Inc.

“I brought in Pasquale (Pat) Russo as a communications consultant to handle a sudden surge in communication requirements for a specific procurement initiative. It is always challenging to come into a new situation and learn the language of the function or department. Pasquale took the time to listen constructively and ask good questions in order to build his background and develop a communication plan for the initiative and specific communication elements ranging from executive-level talking points and presentations to broad, global communication designed to help drive change at the individual user level. He developed a good rapport with individual customers within the organization. Pasquale generated a wide range of suggestions for communication vehicles for the communication plan, including opportunities within the company that we had not previously leveraged. Pasquale, as a communications consultant, is conscientious, focused, and audience/message sensitive."
—Debra Utko, Change managed leader, Training & development director, Communications consulting

"Pat was fantastic to work with. Not only are his writing skills superb, but his creativity and ability to ‘think outside the box’ are truly refreshing. I had the pleasure of working with Pat on one of the earliest electronic customer newsletters from a large corporation. Due to Pat's skills and determination, the subscription rate reached several hundred thousand in less than a year and the retention rate was quite high. Pat brings the perfect mixture of expertise, knowledge, and humor to any task he's given."
—Scott Brenner, Online safety expert, email marketing pro, web strategist, web designer-developer, and digital marketing specialist

“I truly enjoyed and appreciated the opportunity to work with Pat while I was at Wells Fargo Home Mortgage. With every project that he took on, Pat provided clear strategic direction, thoughtful and effective recommendations, and ultimately great execution. He always came through on-time and on-strategy. It was always a pleasure to work with a team player with a great disposition, a sense of humor and lots of patience. Kudos and many thanks to Pat!”
—Gaby Altman, Marketing Director at Altman Investment Management

"Pasquale and I worked on an Agile team for a high-profile redesign of the client-facing website at TD Ameritrade. He played a key role in transforming a cumbersome workflow for moving funds in and out of brokerage accounts into one of the most recognized and successful redesigns firm-wide, winning praise from clients for its clarity and ease of use. The redesigned product received not one, but two awards from Corporate Insight, a competitive research firm. Throughout our collaboration, Pasquale wordsmithed the content to make it clear and concise. He very professionally liaised with the legal team to eliminate confusing and wordy legal and financial jargon. He is knowledgeable about user experience best practices and knew exactly how to improve pages even further. He always had great ideas and was the perfect sounding board for the whole team. Because content often dictated the layout of the digital workflows, our teamwork was especially critical, so we often worked on the copy and the design in unison. He was one of the best teammates I’ve worked with, always clever and witty, and the great synergy was evident in the results of our work. I would love to work with Pasquale again, and highly recommend him."
