"Being intelligent and knowledgeable, she asks astute questions…"

“Thanks for your interest in my Dad’s story. I was glad that I could sit in on your interview with him. He is not one to talk about his feelings and I was fascinated to see how you drew him out. Your skill as a writer made for a lively story, incorporating subtle details that paint an accurate and nuanced portrait of Dad and how his harrowing experiences shaped the rest of his life as a Dad, a lawyer and a citizen.”

 …do this a lot, the not-famous not so much. Either way, you have to choose your profiler carefully, as with selecting neurosurgeons and tattoo artists.

Christina Schweighofer, PPE (Profiler Par Excellence) is a sound choice of sketcher for the full spectrum ranging from the renowned through the obscure. For the wicked, I don’t know.

Being intelligent and knowledgeable, she asks astute questions, understands what you tell her, invites you to clarify, and links up scattered things and asks about stuff you overlooked.

Being a good writer, she can tell it all back better than you and cohere your muddled rambling.

And being a truthy (OED sense 1) upright person, she is unlikely to defame or beam a bad light on you, unless you deserve it, in which case you should avoid being profiled unless it promotes the public interest.

If you are a candidate for a Prize, look her up. Working with her is also quite agreeable.”

“I have hired Christina for a number of writing projects. She is smart, easy to work with, and religious about making deadlines. I enjoy working with Christina; she has proved to be not just a go-to writer for my law firm, but a reliable business partner.”
