Recommendations

"Working with Kathy was a really exceptional experience. She was able to maintain my voice in the narrative but also provide key grammatical and content edits, and to provide guidance on what could be added in order to make the narrative stronger. The work was in two genres, one memoir and one self-help / business and she worked well with each. She was also very supportive and encouraging, worked super super fast--which was amazing given that it was also high-quality work, and always hit the timelines and deadlines. Highly recommended if you're looking for an editor that is going to focus on making your work better."

"Kathy did an edit of a couple of chapters of a self-help / memoir I'm working on and was awesome. The edit was thorough, made my work more clear, and flow better. She definitely elevated the quality of the narrative . . ."

"Kathy is excellent to work with and has provided quality content for our blog."
