Sometimes it's best just to let other people speak about one's writing.
In 2021, I won top 1000 writer all four times.
Your writing style reminds me a little of Hunter S Thompson but not as insane. Your articles on medium are incredible. But they only send me snippets, so I can’t read the full article. Do I have to pay you or should I pay medium? Help an interested reader out! Doug Piercy
Tessa placed so much symbolism and the true heart of a woman in this book. Mingling metaphysics with humor, romance, and drama is a difficult feat and she pulled it off. I definitely recommend this book. If I would compare (if you will) this book trumps "The Alchemist" in the profound lessons of human nature that it teaches. It was an excellent read and brought out many emotions within me. That's what good books do. Nikiabrown, Amazon Review 2011
A unique ability to make people think about issues. I could read and reread it, each time gaining more from it. Information and thought provoking words flow from you like sap from ancient trees. You are an incredible writer and your voice does exactly what we all have been joking about – make us THINK! You make one consider and mull over ideas and possibilities on life's most meaningful concepts. I never read a post of yours without wanting to go look up something or shout out loud- EXACTLY! Elisa Huerta Sninchak 2008
Well read and well informed on many issues. You come across as strong, confident, knowledgeable, skilled; an accomplished, studied artisan. You ARE a leader. People will naturally look to and gravitate to you. Dr. Karen Lysik CEO Writers Dock Party
That piece was the finest piece of writing I have seen in 20 years. Marketing Director of Argus Group (South African national newspaper group) 1970 Tessa, I admire your strength, focus and clarity. You epitomize what Maya Angelou wrote when she penned the poem "Phenomenal Woman". But do not construe my praise as an attempt to flatter. It is a statement of my respect. I am grateful to you Daron M Beasley – USA 2014
"I'm calling because I have to reject the piece you submitted. I can't bring myself to send you an ordinary rejection letter. I must decline because we have too much on that topic. It's of a quality we seldom see." Editor of leading South African woman's magazine. 1981
Talent just oozes from you. Andy Ellis, Editor Mensa Magazine UK 2001/2
Your writing is like the guy who has won the most literary prizes in the world. Dr. Mariette Prinsloo. South Africa. 1996 Much thanks to Chip Martin, Karen Lysik and Tessa Schlesinger. I always looked forward to your postings . . . stated with eloquence, humor, and/or intelligence . . . but never with intent to harm. Thanks, people. Lila Allen – USA
I can't see any difference between your writing and the way bestselling authors write. Ilsa Kritzinger. Johannesburg. 1998. You are able to take the most complicated subjects and dissect them and clearly lead a reader through logic. You have amazed me on several occasions. You, more than anyone else I've come across, have done that which I couldn't dream of accomplishing. Susan Ruda USA 12/10/09
I can't believe I'm saying this but AMEN SISTAH! Damn, but if I wouldn't (maybe) listen to you lecture. You do have a way of letting the air out of overly-puffy arguments. Carrie Younce – USA
