"Kathleen is a real find. She took my precious baby (a baby, I might add that had already been "professionally" edited) and polished it to perfection, picking up on many mistakes not picked up at the first edit. As a British writer who sells well in America, my biggest gripe was the number of reviews I received citing spelling mistakes where I'd used British English. Kathy took my very British comedy and, while retaining the feel and the British humour, made it something my wonderful American audience can enjoy. She also rapped my knuckles for my aversion to commas. I can't recommend her highly enough."

Courtney lives in Windermere, Florida with her husband and three children. She's owned and operated a wholesale automotive fleet leasing company called Courtney Leasing, Inc. since 1991. She has a degree in English and a master's in secondary education, both from the University of Florida. Courtney is writing a series called The Grace Family Chronicles. it is historical fantasy in that the history is accurate, but the characters have special powers called "Graces." She also writes a children's picture book series called Tales of Bark Story Land.

"Kathy edited the first three books in a historical fantasy series I am writing. The books are a good 100k+ words long, each, but she managed to edit them in a timely manner while also being thorough. She has also edited other books for me.
I would trust her with your manuscript. She understands the fantasy genre, and does not question whether or not characters can have super powers. I would not hesitate to hire her again. She is very easy to reach, and seems to enjoy discussing the content of the book at length, which is always a treat for the author."

                                              Dragon Quests is the first book by Canadian                                                     author Ron West. It took him four years to go                                                     from idea to publication, but he did it.

​                                             ‘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.

I                                                                 relate to this in that, I knew one day I would need an editor                                                                                                                    and a publisher but I had no idea where to look, who to ask or                                                                                                              how to find either. Now, here I am with a complete, edited,                                                                                                                    published book.

She is a perfectionist and she cares. That is easy to                                                                                                                  see in her work and in any conversation you have with her. I                                                                                                               look forward to working on many more projects with her. That

"Kathy did a great job of communicating with me throughout    the editing process, and stayed on schedule, both of which      were important things for me. She found a variety  of                mistakes that I never would have caught                                    (clinched/clenched, cubicle/cubical) and my manuscript is all    the better for her efforts.
