"Darcy Lewis started writing for me when I needed a story about a man who built a home using a Frank Lloyd Wright plan. Lewis, who is an expert on the iconic architect, did a great job with a quick turnaround. She has continued to do features for HGTV Ideas on all topics.
I admire her ability to become an instant expert on anything I throw at her, whether it's powder rooms or penthouses. She actually became too much of an expert on the penthouse story, but when I asked her to cut the word count in half, she did so cheerfully and in less than a day--in a way that the story became even better. I would recommend her to any editor looking for a talented writer with lots of flair and a great personality!"
--Jennifer Sergent, Former Editor-In-Chief
HGTV Ideas
"In ten years of working with Darcy, she has shown her ability to grasp the project at hand and deliver a quality product, whether researching and writing an article or helping with routine editorial work. Her versatility and reliability make her a pleasure to work with."
--Zarine Weil, Publications Manager,
Frank Lloyd Wright Preservation Trust
"In my role as a special advertising sections editor at a major metro daily newspaper, I have hired dozens of freelance writers. I can say Darcy Lewis stands head and shoulders above the rest. I initially contracted her to write stories for our How To Guide on topics ranging from how to design an efficient kitchen to how to buy a piano. Since it was an advertising section, she had to incorporate advertisers into the copy and she did so seamlessly and accurately--all while providing lively and useful stories for the reader.
That was four years ago and I have hired Darcy for many projects since. She is equally adept at writing about toys for the Gift Guide as she is at writing about healthcare jobs for the Careerbuilder section. She gets good sources, great quotes, relevant information, keeps to the word count and makes deadline. What editor could ask for more?
