Heather Morgan Shott

"I highly recommend Heather"

"Heather was my manager for an in-house freelance contract — for which she hired me — at RealSimple.com. She led the editorial team with composure, efficiency, and kindness. I appreciated her ability to communicate clearly, especially considering the fact that she was managing so much at a high level. I'm sure it's obvious to anyone who works with Heather that she's very talented with a strong skill set and many years of experience, but one thing you may not know — which is relevant to her new career path — is that she employed me during a very vulnerable time in my personal life, and she balanced professionalism with compassion in a way that was so important to me in that moment. She'd be a valuable addition to any team.
"

"Heather is a thoughtful editor with a keen understanding of what her readership is interested in. She has both the writing and editorial skill set, and stays on top of and ahead of the conversation to provide top-tier content.

As a manager she was always available for additional feedback and questions; encouraged and supported me in improving my craft; and was a joy to work with. "

"So many of the leadership skills I rely on in my role today I learned from Heather when she oversaw my work at Better Homes & Gardens. She is a talented publishing executive, but her superpower is her excellent instincts. I have no doubt this serves her well in her work today. She is constructive and candid, exactly what any professional who wants to grow would need from a boss. She invests in the people she works with, not just those on her team. Perhaps that's why she remains a trusted mentor years later. "
