“I had the good fortune to work with Amy on all different types of marketing projects for the travel industry. She proved herself to be an innovative and focused professional who was very good at reviewing the big picture and bringing her creative ideas to the project, adding value and insight. She was an integral part of our cross-functional teams, and I was continually impressed with her depth of knowledge on the regions we were marketing, as well as her dedication to creating world-class copy.”

“First, I have enjoyed working with Amy. I find her to be timely, efficient, unflappable and good-humored. Beyond her talent for interpreting my product descriptions and technical information, Amy has distinguished herself by conducting her own research into destinations we sell. Amy’s writing is particularly pleasing for me to read as a product planner because she seems to ‘get’ the destination and the activities we include. Her descriptions are written in a way that inspires even me. I know her copy has inspired prospective clients to travel with us. If you need a writer, immediately make Amy an offer. There is nothing else you will do today to improve your organization as much.”

“As the Articles Editor of House Beautiful, I assigned and edited all of the meatier, reported pieces. I relied on a stable of freelance writers who could report accurately, write stylishly and file on time. Even among this esteemed group of professionals, Amy Clyde stood out. She had a terrific sense for what would make a good story and came to me with great ideas. I went to her with assignments just as often as she pitched ideas to me. She always figured out a way to write about a topic so readers would care about it. I wanted to work with her not just because she was such an able reporter and writer; she was also lovely to work with — can-do and collegial. Her copy was always clean and the editing process friction-less. The magazine had a researcher who would fact check articles after they were edited, but Amy started her career as a fact checker at The New Yorker so her stories would always sail through. All in all, she was someone I was very glad to have on my team. I think you might feel the same way.”

“I have had the pleasure of working with Amy over the last several years at Tauck on several creative projects. She is a skilled writer who also brings new ideas to the team. I always found her enjoyable to work with, and she is a key contributor to the many marketing collateral pieces that Tauck produces every year. Amy has her finger on the pulse of the brand while keeping it fresh.”
– Jared Zech, Tauck Director of Digital Marketing
“Amy is an exceptional writer, always bringing fresh ideas to the table. I had the pleasure of working with Amy for several years as the lead copywriter at Ethan Allen. Her work on ethanallen.com as we created and branded an online voice for the brand was superior. Amy is a very creative individual, always offering a unique point of view in her work. What I enjoyed most were our brainstorming sessions - coming up with new and fresh ideas. I look forward to working with Amy in the future and highly recommend her.”
