“Kate's ability to see a piece of writing simultaneously in a structural/developmental sense and on a sentence level has been critical to my work as an essayist and memoirist. She offers multiple developmental suggestions in a way that is inspiring rather than overwhelming, and she has an uncanny ability to identify even the slightest misstep in tone. She makes me want always to strive to give her my very best work, because I know it will come back to me sounding even more like the way I want to write. Her turnaround time is lightning fast. I highly recommend her.” – Elisabeth Fairfield Stokes (contributor to Not That Bad, ed. Roxane Gay)
