Anna Yeadell is a Founder and CEO: Scrib. at Scrib.. Colleagues describe them as "The freelance writing life has become akin to persisting as a nomad in the Sahara: trying to live off the land has become almost suicidal. Which was why working for Anna was like coming upon an oasis. I served as her freelance editor on The IIAS Newsletter for which I edited and sometimes downright rewrote well over a hundred articles, and having that kind of freedom, and the managing editor's confidence to use it with flair, was a rare opportunity that I relished. Professional, communicative, smart and witty, I'd work with her any day of the week and would recommend others to do so as well."
