"Rob is a joy to work with. Not only is he highly skilled
at his craft, he's also willing to go the extra mile (photo sourcing,
last-minute copy editing, etc.) for all the supplements he writes.
Under the tightest of timelines, Rob always pulls through for us.
And most importantly, his consistent attention to detail makes my
job significantly less stressful. He is an asset to our advertising
supplement program."

“Rob Blackstien is a top-notch writer. He knows his
stuff when it comes to technology, he finds interesting ways
to approach a story, he writes in a way that grabs and holds the
attention of the reader even on highly technical subjects,
and - a prime consideration for any editor - he delivers what
we've planned and does it on time.”

“Rob is always proactive and keeps the project rolling
from his end. You’d think he was part of the staff the way
it goes so smoothly when he’s on the job. In a recent, very
large project that Rob tackled for us, the client approved all the
work with virtually no required changes – a real bonus for
us when we’re working on tight deadlines. In another project,
the client wanted two case studies, one of which was assigned to
Rob and one to another writer. The client was so thrilled with Rob’s
portion, that when the other case study didn’t pan out well,
the client specifically requested Rob be brought back in to complete
the other half. Needless to say, he sure saved us on that one!”

Rob; he is highly recommended.”

“Great piece on Bill Carr. Fun to read and informative
(it is rare that I make it all the way through an article unless
it relates to one of my clients!). I read probably 25 pubs a day…and
your article stood out.”

“Re: Indexing of The Canadian Taxpayer and
The Not-For-Profit News. I just wanted to drop you a short
note to express my appreciation for the work you have put in producing
the indexes for the above two publications. As you know, I was extremely
unhappy with the quality of the indexes in past years. In particular,
it was impossible to use the indexes to find articles which I knew
I had written…and the reason was that whoever was doing the
indexing had no “feel” at all for the content, often
using just the title, which as you know often offers little information
about substance. The new approach you have developed has made a
world of difference, allowing me to find material based on substance,
names, statutory references and cases. Several of my long-time readers
have commented on the improvement. Keep up the good work. It is
not unappreciated.”

“Rob, those are great player updates. I have to
confess, when I first saw there were three, I kind of blanched as
that is a lot of stuff to take away from a game in my experience. But,
each comment was exactly the kind of stuff that I was thinking of. All
the points you brought up were great, and things you focused on
perfect, and the kind of stuff that if I wanted a first-hand report
about someone's skill set, I would take every time over the shorter
Rotoworld ones. Not that they don't have value, but, I feel that
there is room for both. You want to see if Andruw is injured,
go to Rotoworld. But, him hobbling into second, or Chipper
playing third, not only do I want to know this, but, nothing beats
reporting what you saw first hand. Excellent, man.”

“I would just like to say that your articles are very
in-depth and are awesome to read. I just read your Brewer review
and preview and being a long-suffering Brewer fan found the article
to be very interesting and right on. Your site is also fantastic
for all my fantasy needs. Thanks and keep up the good work.”
