I get poetry from readers once in a while, but I never want to read it. Your book of poems is wonderful. I like the style very much. Imaginative, witty, blessedly free of normal logic, surprising, profound, very human, touching, sassy. I like them and thank you for sending them. Looking forward to the next book. • Thomas Moore, author of Care of the Soul, Dark Nights of the Soul, and Soul Mates

I first met Mrs. Luzajic in the summer of 2002 when she did a brilliant internet magazine interview on my book, The Pagan Christ, for Idea Museum. It turned out to be one of the best interviews I have ever had because of Lorette’s wonderful imagination, thoroughness and accuracy. Her joyful writing style leads me to believe that she must be truly inspired by a fresh vision. I’ll be watching for her career to flower with all the creativity and commitment to truth that I am sure will mark it. • Tom Harpur, former religion editor of the Toronto Star and bestselling author of The Pagan Christ, Would You Believe? and more

I would purchase anything you write!! It had been months since I read one of your pieces and I just love the way you express yourself. I am so busy with work and I have two little boys that keep me hopping so if you have a new piece up online, I can print it off and read it on my way to work!

Dear Fred, (publisher of Whatever Vaughan Magazine)

What a perfect introduction to the Opal Spa. This article gives the reader a glimpse into the luxuries that they can experience here at the Opal Spa. I was quite impressed with my interview with Lorette C. Luzajic – her professionalism is seen in her article and she has truly captured the glamourous side that I want all the residents of Vaughan to know.
• Diana Ladyshewsky, Opal Spa, Vaughan/Woodbridge, Ontario

We got the book. Thanks. I don't know how to properly reciprocate when a writer puts that much of herself on the page. I'm not sure how to honour that. The book treads holy ground, sometimes with a holy rawness and sometimes with unholy eloquence. The last two stanzas enter a whole other realm.
• Will Braun, editor, Geez Magazine, Winnipeg

The Paws for Charity Campaign symbolizes the power of a partnership and networking. It also reveals a fact that the friends of these women have known for a long time. These women are consummate entrepreneurs who generously give back to the community.

Bravo to Sara Harley, Julie Kelly, Char Harding and Sue Bird! And, bravo to Lorette C. Luzajic who recognized the incredible efforts of these women and gave their story life.
• Candice O'Connell

YOU ROCK!
Thanks for submitting such great work Lorette! Oh, and keeping within the
word count, delivering eons ahead of schedule and making me smile all the
way through your words is such a treat. LOVE IT!
• Bonnie Staring, editor, www.womencandoanything.com

It has been my absolute pleasure working with The Girl Who Can Certainly Write! Lorette was most professional, timely, and creative in her writing for my organization- newsletters and press releases. She used our brief conversation and effortlessly expounded on it, conveying my message with words I didn’t have. And she makes my organization look good! I just want to say that I love her work. She can take so little information and turn it into something so beautiful that matches my vision and the direction for my company. Thanks, Lorette! • Derschaun Monique Sharpley, President and CEO of Helping Individuals Succeed (H.I.S.) Agency, Detroit, Michigan, www.hisagency.org

Lorette has such wit and journalistic acumen, she's a sure bet for a future Pulitzer.
• Alex Burns, criminal lawyer, Hamilton

Lorette is a highly creative, unusual thinker who adds flare and distinction to every project. There are a million writers out there but she stands out. Her work is clear, accurate, punctual and she is fun to work with.

This painting by Iaian Greenson was dedicated to the memory of Marko Luzajic.

I knew when I was 20 years old that I was the best young writer in Canada, no – pardon me – the world. I felt this in my bones, in my marrow. I had a chip on my shoulder, greasy hair and a brand new Smith Corona on my desk. I even had a working title for the great Canadian novel I was about to write.
There’s an old Spanish proverb that goes ‘Life without a friend is like death without a witness’. When I think of my 20’s…and I will for a very, very, long time…I will see Lorette. She is my witness. She moved in with her milk crates and scrapbooks and her collages. Oh, yeah, and her Smith Corona. She went from friend to sister.
Suffice it to say that Lorette’s writing made me feel embarrassed by everything I had ever written. She was Jack Kerouac…I only had the cuffs of my jeans rolled up. Lorette was a blues record that I owned on CD. She never wasted a word and you could the smell the truth in every tasty morsel she wrote. Novels, short stories, poetry…Lorette was the master of her domain. You may be cynical and think that I’m obligated to flatter, but I am not. And I wouldn’t be lying if I told you that she was one of the people who taught me how to write.
• Iaian Greenson, writer and artist, Toronto, Sarnia

Thankfully the 'long association' transpired and this one is now my BFF!

I collaborated with Lorette in the creation of a bi-monthly arts publication called Idea Museum. Since then, Lorette has contributed to the fulfillment of numerous personal projects. Lorette is a perfect filter for ideas, making intelligible the products of my imagination and producing salient written pieces that have always exceeded my desired results. Lorette’s creativity and critical thinking adapts to the context of any project, her results are always striking. Her advice and editing has helped land some of my projects into publication, scholarship, and awards. I highly recommend her work and look forward to a long association

It was a great experience working with Lorette C. Luzajic on my proposal for a TV show. She quickly comprehended my ideas and implemented them easily in a concise and presentable treatment. She is very professional and devoted associate with whom I would gladly collaborate in the future. • Darko Filipovic, TV and film editor and writer
	If only all of my fan club members were as handsome as my Bertie!

Lorette of The Girl Can Write has been indispensable to me on numerous occasions. The finest example of her work was the sale of my home. I married a Canadian in April of 2005 and had to sell my Chicago home. I didn’t have much time and thought I would have better negotiating leverage by selling on my own. I had a general idea of how I wanted to present my property but was unsure of how exactly to go about writing the copy for my advertising materials. My spouse directed me to The Girl Can Write. From the beginning I felt very comfortable with Lorette’s talents and abilities. She asked me for my ideas and materials I felt were relevant. Within a few days she had produced not only my ad copy but also a visitation sheet she thought would be useful for potential buyers visiting the property. Already, The Girl Can Write had gone beyond my expectations. To make a long story short, within 2 days of posting my ad on the internet, I had 12 appointments. Within 48 hours of the first showing I had 2 offers! I doubt that this would have been possible without Lorette’s services.
If you need any type of assistance with editing, writing, or document creation, The Girl Can Write is the place to go.
• John Richard Bennett, restaurant manager and chef, Toronto and Chicago

Thanks to Lorette, I was able to successfully put in motion my business project. She delivered every project in advance of demanding due dates. Her work helped me get my ideas across more easily in English to major toy and education companies, and land the contracts my distribution company wanted. For every communication I need, I know I have my steady, trustworthy, reliable writer. It could be no other than Lorette.
• Vedran Radic, CEO of EuroFusion, Boston and Yugoslavia

Lorette is an impeccable writer. Creative but disciplined, she is able to convey her thoughts on paper in a way that creates an immediate connection with her audience. Such great skill is indeed a rarity, and I am sure that her abilities will be of great benefit to many people. If you take the time to read samples of Lorette’s work, I am sure you will recognize her unique talent. • Jamyang Khedrup, Buddhist monk, India

What a BEAUTIFUL article about my work! I love the way you interpreted some of my pieces. You were right on! You even pinpointed some things I had been trying to express but didn’t even know if I did it right! Thank you so much!
• Claudine Hellmuth, author and artist, www.collageartist.com

Lorette, I’ve been looking at your new edition for a couple of days. It’s hard to believe that only several people do so much work. The Idea Museum must be a heaven for you, without of course, all the boring angels. I am very grateful and honoured that you have included me with so many fine artists in your magazine. Your writing was very thoughtful, there is a sincere decency to it. As well, I admire the sincerity in your other writings, where you lash out at things that could use forty more. I wish you much success as your writing deserves a wide audience. Keep biting the dogs.
• Bill Bateman, painter, New York www.batemandesign.com

Lorette is an energetic, creative and reliable employee. She communicates clearly and brings a sense or urgency to any task. Her skills and work at Indigo have been exemplary. If your company requires a responsible and industrious employee, I suggest you consider Lorette for the position.
• Mark Gorrie, Manager of Indigo Books and Music, Toronto

Lorette writes with ease and flair with a natural organization and a highly readable style. The girl can truly write anything, even things she has never tried before. She is the first person I call when I am stuck on a song, or when I need new correspondence for the salon. And she delivers it all on time- a nice switch from anyone else I’ve worked with! • Daniel Hogan, Rock Star and Hairstylist, Shampoo, Toronto

We just wanted to thank you for your AWESOME feature on LUSH for Idea Museum. We are so happy to hear that you like our products and appreciate the philosophy of the company. We read the article over and over because it was just so darn fantastic!
• NAV Sangha and Ali Fillmore, publicity for Lush Fresh Handmade Cosmetics, Canada www.lushcanada.com

Lorette has edited many of my scripts and other type of work. Academically and emotionally she has elevated every single piece to another level by applying her subtlety and profound choice of words. Her style is well defined; complex, yet exceptionally balanced. Every time Lorette works on my project, she is able to recognize the essence and all the needs of that project as well as my personal needs as an author. Her professionalism is also exceptional: not only is she reliable with deadlines, but also with communication and people skills. She is extraordinary example of one creative writer with a very powerful style.
