“Kate is well versed in editing all forms of written content. Her developmental and line editing process was easy to follow. For anything that needed clarification, she kept my target audience in mind, did her research, and made the right call. I highly recommend her!”

“I was so glad to find Kate Read as an editor for my memoir, the first book that I have ever tried to write. She was very good in the editing role, including details, concepts, and style. She also encouraged me to keep going over the manuscript, time after time, to get the right voice and to include poignant details and remembrances. She had a wonderful way of praising what I started with but encouraging me to improve and add to it. Kate’s role in finishing this memoir is a major reason why readers who knew me praised ‘my true voice’ in their feedback to me. Kate made the whole experience fun, engaging, and productive.”
— Wells W.
“Kate is more than an editor. She is an editor, yes, and also a strategic thinker, not afraid to challenge one’s thesis, writing, or perspectives. The end product is one that exceeds expectations. I have had the opportunity to work with many editors, and she is absolutely one of the best. ”
— Sandra L.

“Kate is an incredibly talented editor. She’s fast, friendly, and catches all of those little annoying mistakes that would otherwise slip through the cracks. I highly recommend Kate and Black Dot Writing.”
