A few words from previous clients—from memoir and narrative nonfiction to fiction and short-form projects.

Whether it was helping with transitions or suggesting movement of sections for flow, she was right on each time, pointing out things I had not thought of. I would highly recommend her for your developmental book needs. — Richard A.

Developmental Edits for Fantasy Novel
“I highly recommend her talents.”
Kayla and I worked together very well. She responds promptly to emails so communication is efficient. I brought her a manuscript that needed some development: direction and paring down. She gave me that direction and indicated sections that could be omitted. She understood that I had some reasons to keep a few and didn't hold it against me when I did! She is very competent at line and copy editing too, making excellent suggestions that clarify and streamline text in the modern style (sat/bent, not sat/bent down, for example). She seems to enjoy her work and the challenge each different project brings. I highly recommend her talents and look forward to working with her again on my sequel. —Pam H.
