Testimonials
| "Scott is one of
the most competent, professional, and
able freelance writers I’ve known.
We’ve worked together 20 years,
and I hope we work together another
20. Scott has many lessons to impart
to entry-level, intermediate, and advanced
freelancers. He’s been around
almost every block that writers traverse." |
Lou Schuler, Former
Fitness Director
Men’s Health Magazine
|
| "Scott has been an
invaluable member of our program, bringing
not only a strong practical orientation
to the business of writing, but also
mentoring our students with a passion
for his art. Scott is the consummate
professional, a delightful man, witty,
articulate, and a great motivator of
writing students of all ages." |
Kirwan Rockefeller,
Ph.D., Dir. of Arts & Humanities
University of California,
Irvine
|
| "One of the principal
things that Scott brings to both the
teaching of feature writing and English
composition is an intuitive understanding
of how students learn to write better
through a combination of practice, encouragement,
and careful instruction. In my experience,
people who can teach writing are rare
and, hence, extremely valuable, and
Scott certainly is on of these people." |
Michael Mandelkern,
Ph.D.
Dean, Literature and Language
Orange Coast College
|

and serious and compelling all within

|
| "I have been lucky
to work with Scott professionally in
the magazine business, and have observed
him in the classroom as a teacher. He
brings tremendous professionalism, creative
energy, an inquisitive nature, and a
wealth of experience and ideas to his
writing, editing, and teaching. Just
the kind of qualities that have made
him a successful freelance writer and
editorial leader." |
Kurt Indvik, Editor
Video Store Magazine
|
| "Scott Hays is a
professional writer with whom I've had
the pleasure of working. I've enlisted
him to write articles for The ASJA Monthly,
which I edit, and last October he offered
to moderate a panel at the UCI/American
Society of Journalists and Authors Southern
California conference. The article was
a success, and Scott helped to make
the conference a success; his panel
was among the most popular." |
