“Working with Kate was my first real experience with anyone in the business and I was not disappointed. I got honest feedback on my work-in-progress (early stages) and guidance on the road ahead, which was exactly what I was looking for. It was a fantastic experience.
Kate was great.”
—Dylan Lancaster, author

“I can't say enough about the quality of Kate's editing. Her detailed feedback and thoughtful suggestions helped make my novel so, so much better. Before working with Kate, I had hired a different editor for my same novel and was disappointed with the sparse edits I received. I knew my manuscript wasn't ready for publication, despite the comments in my previous editor's editorial letter. My experience with Kate couldn't be more opposite. Kate provided developmental and copy editing, and her editorial letter broke down countless elements of my novel that were and weren't working (pacing, character development, plot points, etc.). My revised novel is vastly different—and so much better—after working with her.
Best of all, Kate is a gem, and she wants you to succeed. She's encouraging and patient. She's also persistent in her feedback because, with her experience and expertise, she knows what will resonate with publishing houses and readers. I've come to trust and rely on her feedback—I'll definitely be working with her again!”

“Kate's edits have been informative and valuable. Her feedback and the editorial letter were exactly what I was looking for and have given me a good direction to continue improving my story and writing. Her work exceeds expectations. When I needed additional time to deal with a personal tragedy, she understood and didn't constrain the timelines of my revisions.
Highly recommend her work!”
—Aish Moitra, author

“Kate was amazing to work with! My writing and story benefited greatly from working with Kate. Detail orientated and knowledgeable about the craft, Kate helped me take my manuscript to a level that I could not achieve on my own. I 100% recommend working with Kate and cannot put into words how great of a job well done she did.”
