“Good journalism depends on curiosity and intelligence. It depends on courage, and imagination. It depends on hard work, discipline, experience, and above all integrity. No one embodies these characteristics more completely, or embraces them more passionately, than John L. Stein.”

"Whether writing about cars or motorcycles, John has exhibited skill in turning out polished copy for our readers. He has the unique ability to take the mundane, like car detailing, or the overly complicated, like a desmodromic valve actuation, and make it enjoyable to read."

“I have known John L. Stein professionally since the late 1980s and worked with him directly during his tenure as a contributor and later a contract editor for Corvette Quarterly magazine. He has also written for Hagerty’s magazine, a collector car journal published for Hagerty Insurance. John’s writing, editing, conceptual ability and flexibility under the challenges of the business are all superb. What’s more, John is one of the few freelancers that I would trust to interact directly with my clients. I highly recommend him.”

“I've known and worked with John for nearly three decades. His incisive analysis and ability to frame complex issues in understandable terms made him my first choice to cover sensitive environmental issues for Rodale's Scuba Diving magazine. No one is better at the painstaking research and careful reconciliation of competing claims needed in environmental reporting.“
