Kristin's editing of my work in progress has me eager to get up in the early morning hours to find out where my characters want to go next. I'm thankful for Kristin's expertise as she helps me grow as a writer. She believes in me and my dream of someday being a published author . Her guidance is gentle, yet she pushes me to dig deeper emotionally to find out why my characters do what they do. It's not easy to go to those places, but in doing so, I know my story will be all the more richer for my readers.
