Kay’s feedback on a short story of mine was generous and insightful. She grasped the emotional core—charged nostalgia and an undercurrent of loss—and helped me shape the narrative to heighten its impact while preserving its lyrical tone. Her suggestions aligned with what the story was already reaching for and showed me how to get there more effectively.
I especially appreciated her encouragement to restore elements from an earlier draft that gave the story its raw intensity—her comments affirmed what I’d only half-admitted to myself. She was keenly attuned to voice and rhythm, offering edits that preserved the narrator’s childlike perspective while tightening the prose. Her feedback never felt generic—it was precise, perceptive, and clearly rooted in deep engagement with the text. Thanks to her guidance, the story became sharper, more resonant, and truer to its intent.
