Kay was great to work with. I threw multiple documents with scores and scores of pages at her to sift through. SHe pulled out the relevant information, pulled out the best of my written work and created exactly what I asked for. She exceeded expectations by creating notes for me to use, before I work with clients, and provided other supporting work. I recommend her and will use her again!

Working with Kay was straight forward and successful. She asked enough questions to really understand what I was asking for and what I was trying to convey to my clients. She then took this information and improved upon my original documents. The work was finished much more quickly and was a better final product because of Kay. I will use her again.

Kay took the time to understand what I saw as important and helping me to realize what needed to be added to round out the Query Letter. Her edits were well documented and fully explained. I will not hesitate to seek her out for my next editorial need.

I am extremely satisfied with the work Kay did with me. She is knowledgable, extraordinarily detailed, and experienced at working cooperatively with writers. She helped to make me and my debut novel better, and I am entirely grateful to her. I look forward to working with her again in the future and recommend her highly.
