What Clients Are Saying

    “I’ve been going through the edit and you did a fantastic job. Your 
    review of the manuscript is thorough and thoughtful, and the
    finished product will be much better as a result of your care and
    attention. We really appreciate it.”
Mary Benard, Senior Editor, Skinner House Books  

    “Working with you has been a very positive experience and made
    me look at the book with fresh eyes, which is hard to do when
    you’re the author and absorbed in the content every day.”
Monica Vest Wheeler, author  

    “Kathy Carter can take a piece of writing and make it stronger,
    clearer, and more appealing.”
Michael W. Brown, author  

    “Kathy, you never fail to exceed my expectations. You not only have
    a unique ability to catch the most minute inconsistencies, but you
    also take your job one step further and offer recommendations—so
    we don’t have to think quite so hard! Having partners like you
    makes all the hard work a little more bearable. You help us shine
    and save us money—and in many cases, the praise from the clients
    is owed to you.”
Misty Klobucher, Simantel Group
