"Katherine edited my debut novel. She was fantastic to work with—the perfect combination of kind and compassionate with her explanations, and ruthless with her pen. Exactly what I wanted/needed in an editor. She pushed the story and pushed my writing, making this book a far better version than when I handed it to her. Her outstanding attention to historical detail was what originally drew me to Katherine’s website. I learned so much from her on the craft of writing, and I will certainly use her expertise for future books!"

"Kath has been a great addition to the Right Touch Editing team. Our clients need skilled, informed editing. Kath is knowledgeable about the business topics we tackle, asking insightful questions that draw out the connections the client is trying to make and editing to our clients' high standards. She's a gem!"

"I needed a fresh pair of eyes to proofread my non-fiction book during the process of self-publishing. Kath’s approach was highly efficient; she ensured consistency of style and that my sentences were clear and unambiguous; she was able to query with sensitivity. I am very grateful to have benefited from working with Kath. My book is a better product and thanks her too."

I have nothing but good things to say (and write) about my experience with Gecko Edit. Katherine was quick, comprehensive, sensitive, and incredibly helpful. She provided sound information and input, tapping into resources to use terms appropriate to the time and place. I learned a lot from her and have kept her materials as a reference for my writing. All in all, a very pleasant and productive experience.

"Katherine's meticulous approach to my novel was tremendously helpful. She didn't just edit; she made notes about the characters, their relationships, their activities, and motivations in order to fully involve herself in the story. By pointing out some potential problems with the narrative, Katherine inspired me to rewrite certain passages to make the story better. I would definitely feel comfortable working with her again.​"

"When my publisher selected Katherine to edit my latest novel, my expectations were high. But Katherine managed to exceed even those. Her deep knowledge of editing conventions, her command of the language, her accommodation of my writing style, her careful consistency checking, and her attention to detail, all worked together to produce a much-improved manuscript. She even researched my descriptions of real-world places and suggested several helpful changes to improve accuracy and realism. In addition to all this, Katherine herself was a joy to work with. I’d highly recommend her to anyone looking for outstanding professional editing work."

"I was pleased by the experience and professionalism shown throughout the process. Payments were flexible and the project finished before deadline. One part of the experience I found rewarding was the quality of the entire line editing format. Suggestions went beyond simple word processing into the craft of storytelling itself. "

"I am so glad that I found Katherine as an editor! As a brand-new author, I had trepidation about the process, but she immediately put me at ease. Not only is she professional and responsive, but she was also able to bring out the best of my writing with her thoughtful comments and suggestions. I am excited to work with her on all of my upcoming projects."

"When she suggested changes, it was never a criticism so much as a friendly suggestion to improve. We laughed a lot in our emails back and forth, and I will miss our creative times together. if you need an editor or a proofreader, you will not find anyone better."

"Katherine was a recommendation from another copy editor I know, and I couldn't be happier with her work! She has an immense knowledge of grammar and the flexibility to work with character dialogue quirks, as well as finding your own repetitive tendencies to make your work shine as best as possible. You would do well to have her look at your work!"
