I have made countless improvements to my work based on her suggestions, and she has the priceless gift of being able to deliver these suggestions in a manner that is at once direct and delicate."

"I've attended many writing groups in my time and have never received the clarity of observation that you have shown with your sample edit. My hat's off to you."

Gordon Schrempp
Novelist

"I got the best compliment today about [your] direct mail marketing letter. One of the bed-and-breakfast inns that I sent the letter to thought it was the best letter he'd ever read. He remembered my name, without the least bit of urging from me. He knew my company name, he knew everything! It was so nice to hear that...so I just wanted to give you the same feelings about your work."

"[Your] marketing letter has people crawling out of the woodwork, it seems! Once again, no more than 20 letters have been sent and I have more than enough jobs."

Jean Mills
Inn Betweeners innsitting service

"Kristi has researched and written hundreds of lively, accurate plant descriptions for several of our garden-related software programs, as well as helped us improve our software in countless other ways. She is a tremendous joy to work with, because of both the quality of her work and the ease of working with her. She has a good sense of when to focus on the details, and when to look at the big picture -- a rare combination.

"In addition to her valuable skills in creating content, her strong computer skills enable her to work effectively with little direction, greatly reducing my stress during the peak of our project cycles. She is bright, artistic, technical, passionate about her work, and able to keep her sense of humor even in the depths of deadline madness. I look forward to working with her in the future!"

Lisa Van Stone
Producer, Sierra On-Line/Books That Work
