Testimonials

What people are saying . . .

“I’ve had the pleasure of knowing Melissa Taylor for the past two years as one my preferred freelance writers. In seven years of publishing Mile High Sports Magazine, few writers hit deadlines, provide unique story ideas and deliver solid writing like Melissa; it’s rare to find a freelance writer that does ONE of things, much less all three every time. For us, Melissa understands that the world of sports is interesting not because of highlight films or stat sheets, but because of the personalities involved in the games we play. A good story involves finite details and a true understanding of the human psyche, heart and soul – Melissa comprehends this as well or better than most writers I know.”
Doug Ottewill, Editor, Mile High Sports Magazine
