I have used Justine on a number of occasions for editorial, which has always arrived in a timely manner and been written very well. We require editorial that allows the reader to visualise the region in their minds as they read, and Justine follows this brief very well.

I will continue to use Justine in the future and to recommend her to others.

Justine is a features writer for Look magazine and it is a pleasure having her on our team. She is delightful to work with and can handle tricky stories with as much ease as the more humorous articles.

I’m always amazed at what Justine can achieve within Look’s format guidelines given our limited word count. Her research is outstanding and the quality of her articles shines through.

Justine also meets Look’s tight print deadlines with ease. She is flexible and accommodating and I would recommend her services to any editor looking for a conscientious and professional writer.

Editor, Look magazine


As editor of Weekend & Short Breaks magazine, I’ve used Justine’s stories on several occasions and have been very happy with the results.

I have always found Justine professional and accommodating in her approach.

Our format is to have short, information-packed stories accompanied by good visuals. I know only too well how difficult it is to write active, fact-heavy stories to a demanding word count and it’s always refreshing to get what you ask for.

Justine’s copy matches our requirements well: she has made herself familiar with the magazine’s style and its audience, provides lively copy written to length and supplies accurate ‘Fact File’ information.

Her copy always arrives before deadline.

I would recommend Justine to anyone looking for a reliable freelance writer who can provide what’s requested of them in a timely and interesting fashion.

Justine started as assistant editor with Inside Tourism in January, 2010. She is a precise and knowledgeable assistant editor, with a good working knowledge of the tourism industry, particularly in and around the central North Island. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend her services to anyone.
