Pearl J. says, "I eventually reached out to GW after months of searching for the appropriate grants for our nonprofit. I spent two hours with their consultant, who thoroughly examined our activities and mission. They helped us choose which grant possibilities to pursue first and unearthed options I never would have discovered on my own. Two grants have been obtained six months later. It was well worth the initial consultation price."See more

Katie P. says, "James was a very unexpected asset! I found him almost on accident, but hired him immediately after a quick phone chat. He read my debut fiction novel and provided feedback and collaboration. Emphasis on the collaboration part. It was important to me to be heard. James "got it" right away and gave the most insightful feedback to help me portray the point on the page. He was very gracious to me in my lack of experience with writing and allowed me all the stupid questions I could come up with. I would (and will) highly recommend him to anyone with editing needs. He is very knowledgeable, responds quickly and clearly communicates. Most important to me, he is very personable and so much fun to work with. I genuinely felt I had an ally helping me get my story out, not just someone critiquing the technical aspects of the writing. In my most confident, almost bossy, mid-west tone...... "Dude, just hire him already.""See more

Angel P. says, "My experience with Krista was transformative to say the least. From the very first round of the developmental edit, I knew she wasn’t just refining my poems—she was driving me to dive to deeper depths, adding insight and imagery to my poems. With every comment she made, she posed the most thought provoking questions—urging me to brighten my imagery and sharpen the message of each work. My poetry is such an intimate and personal piece of my experience as a Black Woman. Entrusting an editor outside of that experience was not a decision that I took lightly, but truly Krista handled my work with the utmost dignity, respect, care, and cultural sensitivity. Every nuance of my Black experience from my AAVE speaking style to my heritage was handled with honor. This is what makes Krista truly special. She never tried to change or correct my work to fit any specific aesthetic, my words were never judged or diminished. She amplified my voice. She’s knowledgeable, talented and professional. She was always right on time, and at times, even ahead of schedule because she’s a diligent editor and passionate about her clients’ work. I will be working with her again! She’s the perfect collaborator; she’s honest, fair, passionate, and an expert in her line of business."See more
