You don&#8217;t leave any flab to make it easy to tighten your stuff&#8230;In the case of most writers, having to make little nips and tucks to the copy actually improves it, because it gets rid of a slight degree (or, in some cases, an unfortunate degree) of flabbiness. But\u00a0&#8211; and this is a real compliment to the quality of the writing you do for us\u00a0&#8211; your copy has about as much flab as Michael Jordan does.&#8221;<\/span><br \/>\n<em><span lang=\"EN-CA\"><span style=\"font-family: Arial;\"><strong>Jim McElgunn, Senior Editor, Profit Magazine; former Managing Editor, Marketing Magazine<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/em><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Arial; color: #000000;\">&#8220;It&#8217;s been great working on the <\/span><a class=\"RE\" style=\"font-family: Arial;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.dannykucharsky.com\/?page_id=12#best\">Letters from Montreal<\/a><span style=\"font-family: Arial;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">\u00a0together.

As usual, he did a great job, but I&#8217;d also like to point out his treatment of the sidebar on Videotron. The point is that Videotron is trying to improve its customer service, but Danny&#8217;s approach is humorous and the banter between the executives not only shows Pierre Karl (P\u00e9ladeau&#8217;s) sense of humour, but gets away from the usual stiff corporate speak we so often read in business stories.&#8221;<\/span><br \/>\n<\/span><em><span lang=\"EN-CA\"><span style=\"font-family: Arial;\"><strong>E-mail to staff from Angela Kryhul, Editor at Large, Marketing Magazine<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/em><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp; &#8220;Veteran Montreal writer Kucharsky&#8217;s insightful look at how the funeral home industry is trying to make death a user-friendly experience is an enjoyable and efficiently written piece.
