Julie Belschner

About

I'm using the summary to include a letter sent to me, a letter that touched my heart. LETTER OF RECOMMENDATION FOR JULIE BELSCHNER I am extremely pleased to recommend Julie Belschner for any writing or editing opportunity presented her. I do this fully and without any reservation whatsoever. Beginning in early 2007, I had the privilege of seeing the many talents of Julie up close and first hand. She spotted potential of an interesting column for Oconee Today based on my writings to family and friends while working at Yosemite National Park. Someone had passed along my e-mail musings to her and she contacted me for permission to put these in her publication. I readily agreed while having reservations about the merit of my ramblings being printed, but when I saw the result after she got hold of it, she made a believer out of me! Out of my rough style and disjointed ramblings, she carved a pure work of art that greatly entertained the readers of Oconee Today, and later, Blue Ridge Today. In the markets, at the gas station, and seemingly everywhere I went, I heard people compliment me on the column and tell me how much they enjoyed my Rambling Russ column. And they expressed their delight with the entire edition, telling me how much they enjoyed it and looked forward to reading Oconee Today each week. While spending nearly forty years in the computer industry, I wrote many, many articles for technical publication. I always looked for the best local talent to be a copy editor to “spiffy up” my rough hewn wording, and was generally pleased with the results that really good copy editors can produce. But never, in all of my many years working with writers, have I ever had the pleasure of working with someone so creative and talented in this regard, as Julie. I highly recommend her, and know that she will do the same outstanding work for anyone that has use of her considerable talents. Regards, Russ Kelly RamblingRuss@yahoo.com
