"I've had the honor of working with Kate since the beginning of my writing career. From the start, she has amazed me with the quality of her work. In the past two years, she has become my go-to person before even contemplating releasing a book. From line editing to character development, plot holes, continuity issues, grammar, and spelling, she does it all. Kate is thorough and clearly explains the reasons behind her proposed changes. As a non-native English speaker, I love that she takes the time to teach me the subtleties that sometimes elude me in grammar, syntax, vocabulary, and even idioms. Kate doesn't treat you like a customer but as a friend. She handles your book and your voice as an author with the utmost respect. I cannot recommend Kate enough."

"Kate worked with me on my Royal Glass Hearts trilogy, and I can't recommend her enough. She has been an absolute pleasure to work with. Kate's edits are thorough and improve the clarity, consistency, tone and impact of every sentence. The quality of her work continues to astound me and every edit has taught me something new that has improved my writing going forward. It's clear she takes pride in her work and truly cares about turning my story into the best it can be. She is supportive and respects my voice as an author. Her style sheet has been an amazing resource for me in keeping track of the many characters throughout my series. If you are working on a series, I highly recommend making use of this service."

"Kate connected with my story as a reader as well as an editor. She spotted developmental, as well as line, copy, and proofreading issues that others might have missed. She doesn't waste your time but gets to the heart of the issue, communicating her concerns and suggesting remedies. She is generous, gentle, and a true pleasure to partner with. New writers to experienced novelists would all get their money's worth (and more) from working with Kate."

"I've been working with Kate since 2018, and her beta reading services always exceed my expectations. Her comments are clear and easy to understand, and she makes me feel like I have a true partner in making my story come to life. I'm a slow writer, and although I have a critique group who reads my chapters every week, sometimes by the time I reach the end of a story, I've lost consistency. Kate reads the entire thing at once and gives me feedback without stepping on my author voice. She tells me when something doesn't hit the right emotion (or when it hits her really well, which can be helpful for choosing snippets for social media.) I HIGHLY recommend her."

"My first novel was historical fiction, and Kate was incredibly thorough, painstakingly ensuring I didn't include embarrassing anachronisms. She also helped me trim my prose to a more marketable length. Kate's editing skills are impeccable, but she also handles an author's ego with humor and grace. We disagreed several times and, though she was often right, she knew when to let me have my way. I learned to trust her instincts. This included rewriting the ending of my second novel! But it is now more dramatic, and the connections between characters are stronger.
I would recommend Kate to any author. She is skilled, insightful, intuitive, and has a keen sense of what makes a book engaging. I feel fortunate as an author to have her by my side."

"As my many, many drafts prove, no writer can produce the perfect manuscript on their own. I've been on the lookout for that special pair of eyes that can catch the mistakes, the time-warps, the dangling participles, the soft spots that I can miss. I loved working with Kate! She has a keen eye not just for the mechanical details, but for the end-product as well. From the not-quite-right verb tense to the too-vague plot point, nothing gets by her. Reliable, easy to work with, diligent, and always sensitive to your pride of authorship, Kate demonstrates that she's as committed as you are to produce the very best version of your book."

"As a first-time author, I was worried I couldn't handle the criticism of having someone else read my writing. Kate is kind, and I can tell she knows her craft! She gave me written feedback that was helpful and clear. Our conversations always left me inspired and excited about what to work on next. She coached me in how to bring a deeper layer to my writing, uncovering ways to show and express motivation, character development, and even develop my own voice as an author. Kate's feedback was concise and insightful. I appreciated her ability to explain ways and provide resources to help me understand how and why to make corrections, strengthening my skills as a writer. I appreciated that Kate pointed out both areas for improvement and where I hit the mark to connect with her as a reader. In all her critiques, Kate's curiosity and positivity shines through."

I loved working with Kate! She was so encouraging, informative, and helpful, even before I decided to work with her and was just asking questions about the writing process.
As a new author, I felt like she really cared about my story and wanted to help me succeed. I loved how personable she was during our chats and emails, making it feel like I was talking to a good friend, and she was always open to explaining her suggestions if I didn’t understand something.
She was also super fast with her beta read, but I could tell she took care to point out where things didn’t make sense, catching some things I hadn’t noticed or thought of! Kate had this way of still being friendly while offering critiques, so I never felt like I was being made fun of for missing things.
Overall I truly felt like Kate wanted what was best for my story and really put her heart into
helping in any way she could.

"Kate has been editing for me for almost a year now. She is a sweetie who I totally recommend to get your manuscript polished with no fuss. If you're looking for someone who is organized and precise, then Kate is the editor for you."

"Kate worked with me on my latest novel, The Trickster's Song. She was just plain amazing! Her comments were insightful, clever, and supportive of my work. She even gently introduced me to a few new grammar rules, which might have been embarrassing (I'm an English teacher myself) if she hadn't done it with such tact. Reading Kate's commentary and thoughtful edits felt like sitting down with a good friend over a latte to chat about my book. I can't wait to finish the next project and send it off for Kate's expert take!"

"I used BFF Editing Services on my last full-length novel and I was extremely pleased with the results. I feel like my book was thoroughly edited, and errors were found that I otherwise missed. More importantly, anything the editor discovered was pointed out and it was left up to me to correct it or leave it as is. I felt like my opinions were valued and in no way was I pressured to change anything that I didn't feel comfortable changing. It was a stress-free experience with a very friendly editor, and I would wholeheartedly recommend BFF Editing and definitely consider them for any future stories."
