"It's a pleasure working with you."
—Karina Mikhli, Kensington Publishing, New York, NY

"Karen did a critique followed by an extensive edit on my stage play, which was published by a London publishing company in August with the comment "one of the best plays the review board has read." It was a difficult piece because it was a modern day version of a biblical story. Karen gave valuable advice on the strengths and weaknesses of the work plus an extensive edit. I cannot thank Karen enough and it was a real pleasure working with her."
—C.G. Wilson, author, The Judith Code, 2006

I've learned a great deal from you and it's been a pleasure working with someone so pleasant, extremely talented, and knowledgeable. I hope you'll be available for my future projects.

"Jim and I want to thank you for editing Pennsylvania's Forest: A Story of People and Change. Your efforts were an improvement to our effort, and we are pleased with your suggestions ... copy editing changes ...
