Mr. Kennedy was a pleasure to work with! Throughout the entire process, he always acted as a true professional, and his the quality of his edits was outstanding. I am super grateful that he agreed to edit my book, and I could not imagine what this process would have been like if I had chosen a different editor. I would definitely recommend him!
