— Kim W. (July 2018 Editorial Client, Fiction)
As a new author, I wanted to work with someone experienced but also someone who wouldn't mind giving me more general guidance as a budding writer. Kendall was skilled, specific and clear in her editing work. In addition, she was kind, patient, approachable, and available to guide me as a young author and answer my many questions. She improved both my story and my craft.
— Ayla L. (November 2018 Editorial Client, Fiction)
Kendall did an awesome job with my project. Quick turnaround, clear explanation of the process, and great results. Would hire again in a heart beat.
— Brian M. (September 2018 Editorial Client, Proofread)
This was my first book... let alone my first time working with an editor. I was pleasantly surprised when she agreed to edit a book I've put 8 years of my life into. Normally, I should have been terrified to let someone probe my written words and deepest thoughts. But, Kendall was very clear, kind, and understanding from the beginning. She's kind, open, generous, and very professional. Plus... she finished it in the time she promised.
