'Karyn Markwell is extraordinarily competent and has wonderful communication skills. As an intern with Queensland Writers Centre in 2011, Karyn developed a sophisticated understanding of how to build and connect with audiences online. Through her reliability and creativity, Karyn quickly earned the trust of the writing and publishing industry professionals with whom she formed valuable working relationships. I recommend Karyn highly both for her professional aptitude, and her personal integrity.' - Manager, The Australian Writer’s Marketplace (www.awmonline.com.au), Queensland Writers Centre (www.qwc.asn.au)

'When we were in the early stages of recruiting a team to take on the publicity for The 2000 Walk, Karyn Markwell was recommended to us as a ‘must have’. From our very first interaction, Karyn has been professional, clear, and enjoyable to work with. Her contribution has been a highlight of our project, with more than 25 of her articles being published in magazines, newspapers, and online. Karyn is self-motivated, capable, and the quality of her work is evidenced by the number of editors who have picked up her articles. It's a pleasure to work with Karyn and I recommend her highly as a dedicated, diligent, and accomplished editor and writer. I cannot overstate the encouragement and blessing that she's been to our project.' - State Director, Operation Mobilisation Queensland (www.the2000walk.com)

'Karyn and Markwell Publishing produce the Australian Pain Management Association’s quarterly newsletter, Wellbeing. The professional and appealing look of Wellbeing has improved markedly since Karyn has taken over its production. Her knowledge of marketing and branding has led to a much more professional and attractive product which in turn has led to an expanded audience of health professionals as well as health consumers. Karyn is able to provide a comprehensive editing service which improves the message the articles are getting across and Karyn gets the whole newsletter to fit together well. I am very pleased to be able to recommend Karyn to any business or community association looking for a publishing service that is cost and design effective.' - Secretary, Australian Pain Management Association (www.painmanagement.org.au)

'I worked together with Karyn on a project in 2009 and found her to be very professional, helpful and possessing excellent customer service skills. I would have no hesitation in recommending the services of Markwell Publishing to friends and business collegues!' - Proprietor, Uplift Tours and Travel (www.uplifttoursandtravel.com)

'Are you considering using Karyn’s services? Karyn Markwell was an absolute godsend to me. I first met her as a writer when I started my magazine publishing business: a very successful industry publication called Concierge Melbourne which went on to become Concierge Australia (Melbourne, Sydney, Brisbane and the Gold Coast). I was going to tackle the Editor role myself, which could have proved an absolute tragedy. Karyn offered to help me as more than just a writer and went on to explain her experience and accolades which are many. We worked together for over two years and during that time, as Chief Editor, Karyn hired and trained a Deputy Editor, section editors (x 7), copywriters and around 20 other writers. She also oversaw the graphic design elements with our designer and worked with the photographers to make sure we had images that corresponded with the copy. Karyn quite possibly worked more than any normal human being; we were often pushed to work weekends and during the proofing process, Karyn would stay back until 4-5 in the morning on most deadline days. I could quite easily create a War and Peace novel (which Karyn would need to edit) on why I would not hesitate recommending her to anyone considering her services.' - Managing Director (former), Concierge Magazine

‘Karyn proofread an entire issue of Christian Woman in only a few days. I found her comments to be extremely helpful and her ability to find those tiny errors that everyone else missed was very encouraging.

‘Karyn Markwell was employed as a freelance writer for Cupid Media from April 2008 to January 2009. In her position as a content writer, Karyn worked on various projects including but not limited to website content, blog posts and email marketing. She was primarily responsible for a Christian blog, where she wrote on a wide variety of Christian topics, including dating, faith, news and current events. Her duties also extended to the fostering of an online community of like-minded Christians. Karyn is an excellent writer and has distinguished herself with quick turnaround times and timely submission of very good quality work.
