Hired on Thumbtack

Hired on Thumbtack

I can't even begin to describe how helpful Nancy was for me! I found her on Thumbtack when I was searching for Editors in my area, and she was very quick to respond. I had decided from previous quotes I'd gotten, that I couldnt afford to have my manuscript edited at this time. When I told her that, she offered to edit a sample portion for free in order to help me pin point pieces of my writing that I could work on. I was so appreciative of this offer and was astounded by how attentive and detail oriented she was, even on something I wasn't paying her for. I would definitely recommend her to anyone for any reason, and I will definitely be going back to her when I want to get an editor!

Details: Writing • Substantive or developmental editing • Proofreading • Fiction manuscripts • 50,000 - 100,000 words • A single project • Remotely (phone or internet)

Thanks Sierra, it was a pleasure, and I hope you’ll keep going- it’s obvious you have a great story to tell, and a wonderful writing voice! :)

Nancy is by far one of the best teachers I have ever had. After dropping out of high school and then going to an alternative school, where I knew absolutely no one, Nancy was instantly by my side and took amazing care of me. If it wasn’t for her love for her students and genuine care for them as people, I really don’t think I would have made it to graduation. Now that I’m in college, she still continues to check on me and offer help if needed. I will forever be grateful for her.

Nancy is special! She is highly intelligent, very resourceful, and broadly knowledgable. What really sets Nancy apart however, is her love of people and her passion and commitment to serve them.

Nancy has worked with all three of my children who had all different educational needs. She is absolutely one of the best! She goes above and beyond for her students to be successful.

I'm a former student of Nancy who worked with her before she began "Guide on the Side", but in much the similar capacity at an alternative school. She was a major positive force in my adolescent years, someone who never gave up on a teenager who would have slipped through the cracks of public school so easily. She broadened my horizons, machete'd through red tape, and cared about me in a way that made her far more than just a teacher. Nancy Karmiller is a fantastic educator, but more than that she's a brilliant advocate, amazing mentor, and one of the most compassionate people I have ever had the pleasure of being friends with.
