TESTIMONIALS
Kind words from editors, sources and PR professionals.
“I have had the pleasure of working with Liz for the past seven years in my capacity as an editor for Healthline and Medical News Today. Liz is the ultimate professional and 100 percent reliable. Her stories are always turned in on time and never require any extensive editing. Articles by Liz are a breeze to edit as they are thorough, well organized, readable and cleanly written. She also adapts to any style and other changes we throw at her. Did I mention that she is also easy to work with and a delightful person? Liz is basically an editor’s dream. I would highly recommend her for any writing assignments you may have.” David Mills. News Editor, Healthline and Medical News Today
“Liz has exhibited a high level of professionalism in her work for our publications, including Healthline and Medical News Today. Her articles are thoroughly researched, accurate and balanced. Although she resides in Australia, she managed to write articles citing U.S.-based sources as if she was a local. Her enthusiasm and positive attitude made working with her a pleasure. She always met our deadlines and was conscientious in following up with us after submitting her work to make sure she met all our needs. I would highly recommend Liz to any publications seeking an experienced health and medical journalist.” Louisa Wah. Editor I, Content Marketing, RVO Health
“I have worked closely with Liz Pratt at Healthline for about a year and a half. As a freelance editor, she is conscientious, and her edits are well-researched, timely, and follow our best practices for style and SEO. She has the ability to explain complex health topics in plain language. She also asks important follow-up questions and is easy to communicate with. I highly recommend working with her.” Heather Hobbs. Editor I, Updates, RVO Health
“I have had the pleasure of being interviewed numerous times by Liz Pratt, particularly during the rapidly-changing global COVID pandemic. Liz ranks among my most respected journalists. She always is well-prepared, has a focus on the scientific basis of public health policy, is tenacious in pursuing important questions and her stories are balanced, making complex subjects accessible for the general reader.” William Schaffner, MD. Professor of Medicine, Division of Infectious Diseases, Vanderbilt University Medical Center
“I have had the pleasure of working with Liz Pratt on many nutrition-related health articles and have found her journalism to be of the highest quality. She always comes to interviews well prepared on the topic. She is skilled at asking the right questions and translating my “nutrition jargon” into consumer-friendly messaging. Unlike some journalists I have worked with, Liz has never taken my words out of context. In 9 years as a media spokesperson, Liz is by far my favorite journalist to work with.” Lauri Wright. President of The Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics 2023-2024
“In my experience with frequent interviews by journalist Liz Pratt since 2020, she is always well-informed, knowledgeable and prepared. She is curious with insightful follow up questions. She provides perspective by generally interviewing a variety of sources. Her published articles are informative, interesting and up to the minute.” Dean Blumberg, MD. Professor and Chief of Pediatric Infectious Diseases, UC Davis Health
“As a publicist representing hospitals, medical groups and private practices for more than 20 years, I have had the distinct pleasure of working with a vast number of incredibly talented freelance writers. However, Liz is one of the very best I work with because of her passion, professionalism, expedience, and outstanding writing skills. Without fail, every article that she has interviewed and quoted my clients in, I have received raved reviews from doctors about her attention to detail, accuracy, and professional and cordial demeanor. And in the ever-evolving field of medicine and science, these traits are imperative to maintaining the trust of doctors and researchers. My one negative review of Liz is that I do not have the opportunity to work with her more.” Trace Longo. Longo Communications
“Whenever we receive an inquiry from Liz, The University of Kansas Health System jumps on it. Why? Liz is thorough, asks thoughtful questions, takes time to clarify as needed, and is simply a great storyteller. What more could you ask from an earned media request? Of course I am totally biased because I spent 27 years as a journalist myself before entering the healthcare communications field. I’ve had opportunity to interact with many freelance writers in the past twelve years since and Liz tops our list. If you want a story told on time and have confidence that it is accurate, I strongly encourage you to reach out to Liz or answer her call. She’s a professional in every sense of the word. She is also a just nice and interesting person.” Jill Chadwick. Director Media Relations, The University of Kansas Health System
“Elizabeth Pratt is a whip-smart writer who possesses a deep understanding of health and medicine. She approaches her work with integrity, curiosity and empathy. I have found her to be a true professional – down-to-earth, genuine and always a pleasure to collaborate with. Despite our working in opposite time zones, she remains responsive, an excellent communicator and a valued media contact.” Elaine Schmidt. StoryPower Public Relations (formerly Senior Media relations at UCLA)
“As a clinical psychologist, I’ve had the pleasure of working with Liz Pratt for quite a few of her health and wellness articles. It’s a true joy to work with Liz Pratt as she brings both a positive attitude and high degree of professionalism to her field. From offering intelligent, highly focused interview questions to crafting intriguing, well-polished final articles, Liz is a tremendously skilled journalist.” Carla Marie Manly, PhD. Clinical Psychologist
“Liz Pratt is always very timely with her stories, thorough in the questions she asks, and highly conscientious in her journalistic integrity and how she weaves the story and expert quotes together.” Dana Ellis Hunnes PhD, MPH, RD. RR-UCLA Medical Center, Fielding School of Public Health UCLA
