“Pat Kramer – Writer For Hire – did an amazing job helping to write a memoir for my mother. My mother emigrated to the USA from Cuba right before the Cuban Missile Crisis in the 60s and my siblings and I were very eager to know more about her life in Cuba. Despite the fact that my mother was reticent at first to discuss what she considered to be “not happy memories” Pat did an amazing job of making her feel at home. She also asked the right questions and reconstructed the memoir in such a way that my siblings and I now have a beautiful and poignant document of the emotional arc and context in which events occurred. Prior to this we had only scattered and seemingly fuzzy memories. Pat thoughtfully took our few treasured family photos and placed them alongside the story in a way that truly brought both text and image to life. I previously felt I had lost a portion of my history to the Cuban revolution. I now feel that my family and I are part of that history and look forward to sharing my mother’s story with my son someday. This has been such a fascinating, healing and uniting gift for my entire family. I highly recommend Pat Kramer’s memoir service!”  Laine Proctor, The QuickBooks Doctor!

“I am a busy commercial real estate broker who has worked with Pat Kramer on numerous occasions.  She is not only a highly skilled writer but really knows the media business.  The level of her contacts at newspapers and magazines is amazing and invaluable.  If you are looking to promote or burnish your brand or your activities through the written word, you need to hire Pat.”  Aaron Weiner, The Tenant Group, Los Angeles, CA

“My Vistage group was unanimous in its view that you were part of our best meeting in years.”  Karl Schmidt, Partner, Parker Milliken Clark O’Hara & Samuelian

“Pat Kramer is a low-key person (she eliminates stress) who, nonetheless, has a powerhouse way of getting things done.  Without fuss or bother Pat has edited some of my written work in a style that reads like my own.  Pat is quite OK that I take most, but not all, of her edits.  I have never given Pat a piece of work she has not made better.  Pat has also helped me and others I know with our LinkedIn pages.  She has both suggested things for those pages and helped me understand new rules on that site.  Thank you, Pat.” K.C. Victor, Victor Legal Solutions

“Pat took one look at my LinkedIn profile, and in very little time, I went from a very basic profile to fully professional presence. Clients often comment on having visited my LinkedIn profile, and been impressed. I would recommend Pat to anyone, such as myself, who doesn’t have the time or skillset to create professional marketing media.  David Hoffman, IP Attorney

“I’ve been working with Pat since 2010. I would estimate that she has written and distributed at least thirty press releases for me over the years. On occasion, I’ve also retained her to contact various media outlets prior to releasing the press releases regarding their interest as possible news stories. Pat’s efforts have enabled me to effectively get information out to the Associated Press and over a hundred other media. This has led to enhanced speaking opportunities, interviews with the media and an influx of more suitable clients. Pat has also created one-sheets (which are similar to brochures but focused on an individual rather than a company) for me, as well as other such marketing materials. I have nothing but praise for Pat and the work she does, which is why we’ve had such a long-standing working relationship and why I also refer her to others.”  Mark Baer, Mark B. Baer, Inc. APLC, Mediator and Attorney

“Pat recently wrote a press release about my new book, “Appraising Manufactured Mobile Home Communities and Recreational Vehicle Parks,” and then distributed it on the newswire service where it was picked up by over 100 media. She wrote it in such a way as to highlight my expertise in the area of appraising this select market, and in doing so, has helped both my company – Valbridge Property Advisors, and myself to gain recognition in a major way. I highly recommend Pat for anyone seeking a press release to announce an accomplishment, whether it is writing a book, winning an award, speaking at a major conference, or even putting on a charity event. She knows how to do it in a way that will generate referrals and put you and your company on the map.” Rob S.,  Valbridge Property Advisors

And, most importantly, when it comes to personal integrity, she is second to none. If you require outstanding work, she is the right person for the job!”   Samantha Chung Ogura, Narver Insurance

“I was lucky enough to experience a Pat Kramer presentation during a women’s business luncheon. She spoke of the importance of utilizing social media, blogging, LinkedIn, personal websites, and emails as a way to market oneself and their business.

I recommend Pat to anyone with a writing project that needs to be taken to the next step.”   Bushra Rothstein Ph.D.
