Kind words from clients
“You couldn’t ask for more capable hands to nurture your written work.
Kate provides edits that are deeply thoughtful, substantive, and supportive. She brings both a sharp, precise eye to the page and a holistic, nuanced lens to the work at large. I always feel safe sending my work into Kate’s hands; I know it will return with clear, constructive, and compassionate feedback.
Talking through revisions, ideas, and roadblocks is always helpful with Kate — she is able to give clear guidance while keeping the vision of the work centered. Her confident, clear communication style eases the entire process. My work has improved exponentially with Kate at the editing helm!”

“Working with Kate was one of my most affirming and supportive experiences as a writer.
She was encouraging, and listened deeply to my vision, and helped me hone my message and voice. Kate supported me through the impossible-feeling task of distilling 375 pages of heartfelt writing into a potent 150 page book, and she was with me the whole way through editing, gently guiding my vision and clarifying my message.
She had great insight along the way, and made it feel easy and doable. Our book turned out beautiful and I was so glad that Kate was my editor.”

“Kate was my editor for my first book UnStuck, and I came to her with a giant, messy, very raw project.
I came to her at Loam with a huge tome of writing, hoping to publish. Kate made gentle, open space to see my vision clearly; she offered keen, incisive insights to shape my work into exactly what I hoped it could be.
Over months of editing and preparing for publication, Kate was not only promptly responsive, but also genuinely attentive to my needs with warmth and care.
Kate's integrity is bone-deep; she moves in the world embodying what we hope for in our communities: utmost reverence and care for people and planet. She enabled me to move at the speed of my humanness while keeping the project progressing. Her edits amplified my voice rather than tempering it, and her collaborative spirit made me feel included in every dimension of the project.
Kate is a magnificent guide and editor, her ear to the ground of deep collective movement, her hand over her heart in clear commitment to common liberation as she helps words to speak toward what language doesn't apprehend.”
