Lisa has all the qualities of a great editor: a sharp eye for details, a curious mind, and the ability to make weak copy stronger. I knew my articles would be a better read when she edited them. She’s also a great source of article ideas for both features and news stories. I really enjoy working with her and am glad she is on our team.

“Awesome Talent! Lisa Hornung brings a high level of efficiency and awesome talent to the table when she’s involved in a project. I’ve had the pleasure of working with Lisa for about two years at the Jewish Community of Louisville collaborating regularly on event notices and press releases. I was always impressed with her positivity and professionalism, no matter the task at hand. And, I sorely miss her quick wit that left me with a smile after almost all of our conversations. Lisa will be an asset to any team that has the benefit of her membership.”
