Patricia W. says, "Michael is very intuitive and recognizes what I want to say but maintains my voice in my family stories. I'm 90 years old and have been writing my family memoir. I have quite a way to go before I'm finished. I taught English at the University but as I've gotten older I've struggled more with some word choice and clarity in my vision and sentences. He's cleaned up some of my awkward sentences and paragraphs. I highly recommend Michael as an editor."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
