“As past president of the CCMTA, I worked closely with Barbara during my tenure. She was responsive, creative, accommodating, and a pleasure to work with. Barbara always met deadlines (some unreasonable), paid attention to detail, and followed through in completing projects. Barbara continues to be a valuable asset to the Association.”

“When I started YourWriters.com, I needed a system to keep track of the work, clients, writers, deadlines, etc. Barb developed terrific solutions that make it possible for me to know the status of any project at any time. It has made it possible for us to grow. Barbara is one of the most dependable people I know. And she has a great sense of humor!”

“I undertook the writing of a book in concert with a long-time friend and professional associate. I was in Maine; he was in Virginia; the publisher was in North Carolina - and Barbara, who took on the role of editor/facilitator - was in Massachusetts. It could not have been done without her. Barbara was a painstaking and relentless editor - a function we needed. She coordinated drafts, rewrites and manuscripts across three states. She coordinated activities with the publisher - dealing with revisions, proofs, publisher deadlines and legal concerns. Not once did any of us meet face-to-face, nor did we need to do so to bring the book to fruition. It was published in 2005 - and could not have been accomplished without Barbara's services. I understand that the term for her talents is "virtual assistant" - one who can oversee, coordinate and bring to fruition a multi-facetted endeavor involving wide-flung and disparate elements, and do so independently of geographic locations or time constraints. Barbara is a superb virtual assistant - and a wonderful, thoughtful, capable, intelligent and effective woman with whom to work.”

“Barbara Cahoon assisted my massage therapy business with a brochure. Though she is in the Northeast, she easily assisted me on-line for a very affordable price in designing and writing a brochure advertising a Christmas Special for my clients.
“She was prompt, flawless and creative. The brochure she produced for me exceeded every expectation, and I was very impressed with the quality and timeliness of the job. I enjoyed the experience of utilizing her services. It was very convenient. I just printed out the brochure she designed as I needed copies, and I could change dates and a few words to make them fit for any holiday I decided to advertise.
“She is very organized and dependable and thorough in her work. I would highly recommend her services!”

“After many years post-college, I went back to graduate school only to find I had completely forgotten how to write a research paper. Thank goodness for Barb. Via email she helped to edit my first paper and get me back on track. Thanks, Barb.”

“Barbara worked pure magic with my home office. She instantly knew what to do with the furniture and office equipment, and now I’m incredibly efficient, organized, take advantage of the natural light, and it looks fantastic! I had thought I knew what to do – but I’ve learned that it’s a much better idea to hire an expert.”

“Barbara brought order to our software library and key system. These were 2 projects we just never got to in our day-to-day operations. Now we know exactly what we have and where it is.”
