As an editor, you're always hoping for the rare freelancer who's willing to go the distance -- someone who reports out her pitches thoroughly, writes according to your audience's needs and the magazine's voice, and delivers the necessary follow-up during the revision process. Loolwa was always willing to do whatever it took to get the story we needed.

Loolwa always came to me with original ideas and incredible access. She knew the tone of the magazine, and which girls we'd feature without hesitation. She's one of the best idea contributors I've worked with.

Former editor, ELLEgirl

Loolwa's creativity, connections, and writing are so very valuable to our magazines. She's the ultimate professional—meets deadlines, responds to my changing needs and wants, and turns in pristine prose. I look forward to seeing what she'll query next

Leslie Young
Editor-in-Chief, Massage & Bodywork

When I interned for Loolwa, she gave me access to all of herself, because that is what she puts into everything she does. She was a truly inspiring mentor.
