I offer developmental editing, copy editing, ghost writing, and book coaching.
"Kim helped me get my project to a state that I am very proud of. She challenged me to come up with a crisper flow overall, better words, resulting in a much clearer storyline. ... Kim is a direct, persistent, and encouraging editor. I've learned a great deal from her and will definitely hire her again shortly for my next project." - Helen M. Jacobs, author of "Finding Water: A Mom's Guide Through Death, Grief and Learning to Live."
"I love the way that Kim was efficient, quick, answered emails promptly, and gave feedback to my work. As a first-time author, I needed the help to get my manuscript in presentable condition. She was able to get it there." - Angela H. Bayer-Persico, author of "A Journey of an Accredited Provider."
