Writer Testimonials
"In my 14+ years as a medical writer, no individual has been more instrumental and impactful in the development of my career than Linda Goldstein. I started working for The Write Source in early 2017, after Linda responded to a cold-call email and gave me the opportunity to write diagnostic summaries for an educational hand surgery website. From the outset, Linda provided extremely clear instructions and took the time to ensure that I thoroughly understood the scope of the project and the client’s expectations. She offered constructive feedback as I adapted to project-specific parameters and always responded expeditiously to my question-laden emails with well thought-out answers. Linda also streamlined the process of submitting weekly hours and made it a chief priority to distribute payments in a timely and predictable
manner.
Since then, my roles and responsibilities for The Write Source have grown substantially, eventually leading to me taking on the position of Senior Medical Writer. But while the magnitude and scale of the projects we’ve worked on have changed over time, Linda’s unwavering leadership and commitment to her subcontractors have not. As Linda has focused on expanding The Write Source with more new clients and subcontractors, she has continued to excel in the difficult task of keeping both parties happy and content throughout the lifespan of each project. She accomplishes this by taking the time to pair writers with deliverables that are most likely to suit their skills and experience, and—perhaps more importantly—closely listening to the concerns of everyone involved at all stages of development and doing whatever is necessary to keep the ship moving smoothly. In some cases, Linda goes as far as sacrificing her own time—nights and weekends included—to make her subcontractor’s lives easier, which speaks volumes of her dedication to everyone she works with.
​
In short, working with Linda has been an absolute pleasure. She is an experienced professional who cares deeply about the workload and associated well-being of her subcontractors at all times, but never loses sight of the ultimate goal: exceeding clients’ expectations on every project. I am certain that any medical writer who has the opportunity to collaborate with Linda will witness these commendable traits firsthand and quickly learn how fortunate they are to be on her team."

"I’ve been a freelance medical writer/healthcare copywriter for over 25 years and can honestly say working with Linda has been one of the best experiences I’ve had – possibly even THE best. First and foremost, she has integrity, which is sadly a rare and undervalued commodity in our industry. She’s an intelligent scientist and supportive colleague in equal measure. I say ‘colleague’ because working with Linda is always a collaboration, never a matter of being ‘dictated to’. She gives very clear briefs and judicious ongoing support, if needed, but listens and takes notice of contributions and feedback – in fact, she actively welcomes them! Moreover, other writers in The Write Source stable are nice people who are generous and supportive (as per Linda herself), which makes working on collective projects a truly empowering experience.
The very welcome (and for me, somewhat surprising) difference between working for TWS and working for most other agencies has been feeling truly valued and respected as a professional. Yes, Linda is demanding, but never in a negative context – she nurtures talent like the true leader she is, and by expecting the best from her writers, she gets it. Being encouraged to aim high means your performance exceeds even your own expectations. And that’s always a good thing. If you’re lucky enough to be asked to join TWS by Linda, don’t hesitate; you’re unlikely to get a better opportunity."

This fair and transparent approach reinforces the trust and respect that Linda and her team extend to their collaborators. Linda's unwavering dedication to settling invoices promptly demonstrates her steadfast commitment to maintaining strong and sustainable partnerships.
One of the most rewarding aspects of working with TWS is Linda's respect and consideration for my time and interests. She takes the time to understand my expertise and personal preferences, aligning me with projects that are not only a perfect fit for my skills but also ignite my passion.
Reflecting on my experience with TWS, I can confidently say that I hope to continue our collaboration far into the future.

"I have worked in the medical affairs and communication realm for over a decade and have become very selective with who I choose to work with, especially for repeat projects. After meeting with Linda and others at TWS, I immediately felt like I had found kind, dedicated and like-minded people who had the resources to be supportive on many types of projects. TWS has a comprehensive reservoir of writers with expertise in a variety of areas. This group lends a wide knowledge base and an all-hands-on-deck mentality for getting things completed on-time and efficiently. TWS has already become one of the best companies I have worked with in terms of resource availability, expertise and efficiency. I have greatly appreciated Linda's oversight and her willingness to go above and beyond for clients and her staff. TWS is a wonderful medical communications company that should be highly considered for any medical writing needs and a great place to work for professionals in the field."
