"Loved working with Kelly. She edited/re-wrote a children's book for me. She also provided valuable guidance on the book's illustrations. I can't recommend her enough. She is creative, very professional, detail-oriented, and overall wonderful to work with!"
Catherine Parr - Publisher at Seven Hills, books for reluctant readers
"Kelly changed the trajectory of this book project. She brings in pure joy and service-oriented aspect to developmental editing, and space around mindfulness/philosophical thought is her forte. She has the language and the experience of someone who has walked longer and deeper into this inner inquiry, and she was able to successfully bring that to his project that demanded nothing less! Kelly was pretty clear about any shortcomings. In one instance, she did not hesitate to tell me that a chapter did not resonate with her at all, and that it needed more empathy and compassion as readers come with different backgrounds. I worked with her on it, and that is what changed the course of how the rest of the book was revised. With many such corrections, the book project would have finished, but not landed. In short, Kelly is exceptional because of her multi-dimensionality: she is intuitive, compassionate, service-oriented and logical while being mindful of deadlines. How is that possible?! I very strongly recommend her, she is a pleasure to work with, and I look forward to continuing our collaboration over the years!"

"With Kelly’s insightful, inspired guidance, I am now finally in control of my own material. She brings more than a fresh pair of eyes to the editorial process. Instead, it feels like I’ve been taken on a journey, guiding me towards my novel’s narrative essence, reintroducing me to the idea that excited me in the first place. "
Stuart Croskill - YA author, sci fi novels and short stories
"Working with Kelly on my fiction project has been an absolute joy. We began with little more than an idea and a concept, and through Kelly’s extraordinary creativity, imagination and instinct for storytelling, she has helped transform it into a rich and beautiful world filled with characters and moments that evoke genuine emotion. Kelly has an exceptional ability to understand the heart of an idea and then develop it into something far more vivid, layered and compelling than I could ever have imagined at the outset. She brings not only enormous creative talent to her work, but also warmth, enthusiasm and a wonderfully collaborative approach. The whole experience has been incredibly rewarding, and I have loved working with her. I could not recommend Kelly highly enough to anyone looking for a gifted, thoughtful and imaginative writer."

"Kelly was such a delight to work with, with me being so new in this whole production, she was beyond helpful. She is a true professional and I value her work she has given me. I look forward to continuing to create more books with her soon."
Liz Cooke - Publisher, series of contemporary romance novels
"I hired Kelly to help me structure and edit my children's story. Her detailed edits revealed gaps in my story that the reader would experience, and I had not seen. I would highly recommend Kelly. Her editing process is thorough and insightful. She completely understands the magic that I am trying to convey with my story and has made fabulous suggestions to help me develop my story and its fantasy setting."
