Hired on Thumbtack

Kerri is an absolute pleasure to work with! I am so happy I was able to find her for my proofreading/editing needs and confidently recommend her for others' projects, as well. I intend to continue collaboration with her for future projects, as the process went so smooth, and her services are exceptional.

Kerri is my go-to proofer and copyeditor -- my business produces A LOT of content and sometimes the volume and turnaround demands are a little out of hand. Kerri always comes back promptly, professionally, and most importantly with excellent suggestions and catches.

I am a writer by profession/vocation and am known for being demanding of service providers in that side of my business, so this is saying a lot.

I used to have to use two different people for this role, and it is brilliant to know that we can entrust it all to Kerri. She's also simply wonderful to work with. I cannot recommend her highly enough.

Kerri is extremely talented and is an absolute pleasure to work with! Her work is top quality, her responsiveness is quick, and her turnaround time is amazing. Each of these things on their own would make her a valuable candidate for hire, but combined have put her at the top of my go-to list -- every time. I can't recommend The Polished Proof enough!
