Editing

Testimonials

"I’ve done a lot of writing in my life professionally, as a lawyer and non-fiction author. As other lifelong readers, I’ve always wanted to write my own novel. I did little more than talk about it until I hired Kimberly. She made me agree to actually do, every day, what I said I would do — write. Early on, her idea prompts gave me a creative direction that led to a storyline and words on a page. Then, Kimberly’s real talent and value appeared. Here’s what I received from each review of my work: a coach’s encouragement coupled with suggestions for more expansive writing; ideas to help setting physical, as well as emotional, scenes; and a line-editor’s eye on what the reader wants. It also helps that she’s a very good copyeditor as well. Bottom line: I’ve written 70,000 to 80,000 words I wouldn’t have written — with about 30,000 shaping up to be a real story."

"Thanks to Kim, I'm writing (and enjoying it) more than ever. She is a gifted teacher who takes the intimidation out of writing. Her classes, support groups and individual coaching inspire me to keep going. With zero judgement, great patience and a wealth of tools, she helps me overcome the obstacles I face when turning my ideas into finished work. For the first time, I have enough confidence to share what I've written and actually publish professional articles. If you, too, have the desire to write 'for real' this is where it starts. Kim will help you bring your untold stories to life."
— Kim Ribich, life coach & consultant

"Kimberly is making my first experience working directly with an editor a most productive experience. I have been writing training manuals, children’s stories and articles for my Funsical Fitness program for many years, but this is my first full length book. Her interest in my topic and subject matter on "The Chill Pill Prescription' was very noticeable as she is equally efficient with editing my content, grammar and punctuation. She was especially effective at keeping on point with pertinent subject matter and helping me avoid senseless jargon, opinions and generalizations."
— Scott Liebler, owner of Funsical, seminar presenter for the Bureau of Education and Research (BER) in Bellevue WA, and adjunct faculty member at Front Range Community College in Denver, CO

"I became aware of Kim's expertise while I watched her turn a good story into a much better story by adding all the necessary edits that covered the broad range of good storytelling. I learned from Kimberly that writing well is one thing, but good storytelling is an art. Kim led me in the right direction. She patiently demonstrated how that can be accomplished in a way that I could understand. Making that a reality for me was Kim's ultimate contribution as she bravely encouraged me to put my words on paper. From the beginning, her expertise began nurturing my story with an open mind, which was exactly what I needed. I am so grateful.
