Heading Out: A Story of the Proudfoots and the Kennedys
I have worked with Story Sisters editor, Francie Healy, for 15 years on a variety of publications and projects, and she is currently editing my own book. She has an eye for detail and the heart of a storyteller. She has a great deal of experience; she knows what she’s doing and deeply cares about the quality of her work. I am happy to recommend her to anyone who wants an enthusiastic, skilled editor and book designer.

Francie and I work together on a high-end Ottawa magazine. She is one of those people you connect with instantly. She has a wonderful and caring disposition.... always available.... a great listener... does what she says she is going to do.... a rare find in this day and age. Francie is one of my most favourite people and a pleasure to know.

As a genealogist, I fully appreciate the power of family stories as legacies to pass along to future generations, and I applaud the great value of Story Sisters. Francie (Story Sisters editor) and I worked together on a regional monthly newspaper for many years. I was Managing Editor; she was Editor, writer, and photographer, and we designed the paper together. I can attest to her skills and dedication. She’s kind, skilled and respectful…just what everyone needs in an editor.

Dialogue
Story Sisters editor Francie Healy has a natural gift for writing and storytelling and can use it equally well whether she is writing a hard news story, a newspaper column about local community events, a book about her experiences as a foster mother of troubled children, or a computer software user guide.
