Karen is versed at everything from speeches to bios to web copy which enables her to jump in to create content or edit existing text quickly. Her writing is both powerful and warm, and she has a way of personally connecting with all of her clients and collaborators.
She would be a significant asset to any organization looking to tell their own story more authentically.

I loved working with Karen Gross. She is a creative and talented speechwriter and truly ‘makes communication sing.’
In addition to being a joy to work with, she created a speech that sounds like my voice, and makes me proud to deliver. I would hire Karen again in a heartbeat.

After working with Karen at the National Constitution Center, I was quick to hire her both at the University of Pennsylvania and the Committee of Seventy for big projects. Karen is a remarkable communicator.
The time and energy she puts into understanding the project and its larger context is demonstrated in the high quality of her work and distinguishes her in the field. Additionally, she is just a pure joy to work with, so the process goes smoothly and enjoyably.

Karen Gross is a delight to work with. She asks great, encouraging questions, and highlights areas where there is likely a high-impact story.
More importantly, she produces a story, chapter, script -- whatever is needed -- that says what you hope you said. I will seek Karen out in the future no matter what the topic.

Karen is the best freelance speechwriter I have ever worked with.
She came highly recommended, and really saved the day for us for her skills, creativity, and ability to meet ever-changing needs and deadlines.

Nowadays, the term ‘storyteller’ is a buzzword synonymous with social media and campaigns and content creation. Karen Gross was a storyteller long before Facebook, Twitter and Instagram.
I’ve known Karen for over 10 years when she was the Editor in Chief at Where Magazine. Soon after, I made it a point to never miss an issue … No matter what the future holds for how consumers digest information, Karen will be there finding the right words to pull you in.

Karen was an invaluable partner, helping Bluecadet on message development, copywriting and editing, and communications strategy.
She worked closely with our team to shape our core language. I’d highly recommend Karen and often do.

There is no one I trust more than Karen Gross to craft compelling communications. She has an innate ability to quickly learn and deeply understand your brand voice and bring it to life in creative, captivating ways.
On top of it all, Karen is simply a fabulous person to be around.

Karen Gross is a shining star in the speechwriting business—a razor-sharp writer, a warm and personable colleague and and as helpful and thoughtful as they come.
A shining, SINGING star, actually. One of the most memorable sessions in the history of the World Conference of the Professional Speechwriters Association was ‘How to Make Your Speeches Sing,’ which Karen performed to pin-drop silence and then a standing ovation.
