Testimonials

I first came to Karen with only the vaguest of book concepts, something I had been toying with for years. She listened deeply and guided me through an invaluable process that gave substance and structure to my idea, which became the foundation for a book proposal. This is where Karen’s eagle eyes, astute feedback, and time management chops saved me from myself again and again. Finally, she took my hand and led me along the path to publishing by bringing her research skills and industry know-how to bear on a custom plan to approach agents and publishers. Karen is a book coach who will be your cheerleader, hold you accountable, and help you achieve your dreams.

After working with two freelance editors and two beta readers, I knew that my novel still hadn’t reached its potential. I was fortunate enough to find Karen, who provided invaluable feedback and guidance on how to move forward. After reading my novel she was able to pinpoint the strengths of my novel and gave pointed suggestions by asking in-depth questions that made me consider details that helped with the revision process. I strongly recommend Karen for her guidance, insight and encouragement as a book coach.
