“I’ve worked with [Kate] on numerous literary projects and value their professional and vast knowledge of the publishing process. I highly recommend [Kate].”

“Kate is FANTASTIC. Listen, by no means am I the next Mark Twain or Ernest Hemingway (and I’m ok with that since we should be able to recognize our abilities but always strive to reach our full potential) but we all have a voice. And Kate will help you propel your voice to the next level in a way any audience can enjoy. Her professionalism, experience, expertise is of course a given bonus. But who she is as not only an editor/proofreader/coach but who she is a human being is what differentiates her from others. She will take the time to find out what you really want to say, and advise you on how to say it and even understand WHY you should say it. She worked wonders with me and my work, and I am proud of the end result. Thank you Kate.”

“Thanks to Kate’s keen editorial guidance, my thesis garnered high praise for its professionalism and won the department’s highest graduate award!”
~ Victoria A.
Graduate Student
I was impressed with Kate from the moment our conversations began. She approached this project with enthusiasm and drive. She completed it timely. She provided content analysis along with proofreading. She even went out of her way to investigate alternate options if something she read required improvement topically. I would definitely recommend her and her work to authors looking to get their book edited.
