"I appreciate your independent eye for reading my manuscript, which I thought was complete when I sent it to you! You helped me with much-needed changes and the book is so much better now from when you received it. Your insightful suggestions really helped me in writing the best book I can and I appreciate your services and your follow-ups. Money well spent."

"The bottom line is (and I’m a bottom line guy), you made it a much better read. When you quoted your price I thought it was expensive. But after seeing all the work and thought you put into it, I think it was a bargain."

"I feel like other editors eliminated my voice. You did not and were very respectful of my voice. I really think you were spot on and helped to clarify my writing. I will use you in the future!"

"I came to a deep appreciation of Kat’s editing skills when we had the opportunity to work together on a feasibility study for a capital campaign. She did a wonderful job of editing our final report to the client, setting graphics, and laying out the report. Kat took a pretty dry piece of technical writing and made it sing. I was more than impressed and can unhesitatingly vouch for her professional abilities as well as her personal attributes."

"Kat did a wonderful and fantastic job on my book. In addition to making my content more accessible to readers, she also explained the editorial process to me and showed me how to improve my writing. English is my second language, and Kat was able to protect my writing voice while editing my sentences for clarity and conciseness—all without losing the meaning of my words!"

"Kat worked directly with our authors to help them develop their manuscripts and produce readable, polished books. She is a skilled editor who also understands the importance of responding to all questions and concerns that an author has throughout the editorial process. She shares constructive critiques and gives feedback calmly, supportively, and articulately. Kat was an excellent team member who interacted with our entire staff and contributed to a positive work environment."

This has included work on my two books, book chapters, articles and blog posts. She is an extraordinary professional who is highly skilled in all aspects of editing. Kat is bright, sensitive, an exceptional listener, and a sheer pleasure to work with. I recommend her without reservation."

"Several years ago, I had the great pleasure of working with Kat Thomas on my first book, Training and Coaching the Competitive Cyclist. As the editor of that book, Kat taught me a great deal about the writing and publishing process. She made sure my writing was impeccable and showed me how to structure the content in the most effective manner possible. I greatly appreciated Kat's knowledge, insight and patience. Not only is she great at facilitating the technical aspects of manuscript editing, she does a great job of managing the relationship between editor and author. Simply stated, I have had an opportunity to work with several other editors since my first book and there is no one I trust more than Kat to help create an outstanding publication!"
