"Kathy Rothenberger is a fabulous editor. I cannot believe she caught 'shown' when it should have been 'shone'. The 'hairbrush dropping into the sink' paragraph had vexed me through three read-throughs before I sent it her way. I knew something was wrong, but did not know what. She made a suggestion that smoothed out the entire important scene. She catches mistakes no one else does, and suggests ways to make a sentence read smoother without rattling my ego. She is great with my errors in punctuation-commas in particular. I recommend her highly."

Kathleen Rothenberger was prompt and courteous, she also has a good handle on different languages which helped during the proofreading process. Feel free to tell others you're working with me.

‘Accomplished’. That came first to mind thinking about Kathy. I was impressed by her capabilities, to edit, yet maintain, and bring out the best of‘my’ story. She’s ‘Accomplished’, look it up.

Author of The Waterman, her first manuscript. This book was inspired by a Waterman fountain pen that she purchased from an antique store, as it looked like it had a story in it.

"It's been said a writer's work is like their child. And, like a parent who can't see their child's faults, a writer is sometimes blind, or cannot see the shortcomings in their writing. But after submitting my manuscript to Kathy Rothenberger for editing, she (thankfully) found my child's problems, and suggested, corrected and encouraged me to make the changes necessary to improve my work in a friendly and constructive way. Her knowledge of grammar, punctuation, sentence structure and word usage is exceptional, along with her intuitive ability for the best way to tell a story. My manuscript is now polished, and more concise, and I recommend Kathy Rothenberger's editing services."

"There is one lady who deserves a medal for bravery, and her name is Kathleen Rothenberger. She took on this jungle of miss-spellings, grammatical errors, and wandering sentences, and whipped it into shape, armed with nothing but a big red highlighter. As far as editors go, I can honestly say I was blessed to find her. She came back with thousands of corrections, but at all times she kept the feel of the story unchanged. She helped develop my own voice so it could be heard more clearly. She was patient, kind, and understanding, from start to finish. Thanks Kathy, you’re the best."

"After the magic of Kathleen's edits, I am now confident to take The Seventh Code to market. As she aptly put it when we started, she elegantly "sharpened and tightened" the piece, making it a well flowing, properly edited book. Thanks for your stellar effort!"
