Developmental Editing
“Where do I begin? Katy is an amazingly gifted creative writer, and I am beyond happy and lucky that she applied to my job post. I was feeling very stuck and unsure about the direction my story should take, but she helped me get out of that with her incredibly helpful ideas/suggestions and questions about my story, which made me reconsider things (in a good way!) and opened my eyes to new possibilities. With Katy’s assistance, I now feel confident to resume writing, and know I will definitely reach out to her again if I have similar issues in the future. She is also very patient, understanding, friendly, and so easy to talk to! From experience here on Upwork, I’ve learned how important it is to feel a good connection with your freelancer, because that helps you work together so much better. With Katy, I felt at ease and excited to create because of that. Without a doubt, I highly recommend her!!”

“I’ve worked with Katy a few times, and she is always amazing. Not only is she a great person to brainstorm ideas with, but she is a hard worker who goes above and beyond with her attention to detail. She also communicates frequently, which is always a plus! I highly recommend her to anyone needing help with their story.”

Ghostwriting
“Could not have asked for a better experience with this writer! She followed my prompt and requests exactly, allowed me to make requests for changes or edits throughout the writing process, and delivered the final product on time and with exceptional talent! Highly recommend”

“Katy is a dependable freelancer who delivers top-notch content on time. She has an attention for detail, and she’s also a strong storyline plotter. With only a story series concept premise, she came up with the summaries for 21-books that consisted of three subseries with seven books each. She’s a pleasure to work with and openly communicates her needs and keeps her communication both friendly and professional. I recommend her 110%! Great contract to have in your corner.”
