    “I was writing my first book and really needed someone to help me streamline the prose and tighten up the manuscript's organization. I was on a pretty tight deadline to boot.  Kelly listened carefully to what I needed and got the job done. The whole time, I felt I was in good hands. I highly recommend her work.”
