I will read your manuscript and provide a detailed Reader Report on what is and isn't working in your story, plot, characters, and other areas that could use another review. 📝

She worked on the transcript for my book through one health crisis and two hurricanes, all while maintaining a healthy work-life balance and providing quality insights to improve my book. I think that pretty much says it all!

I would rate her work 6 (or more?) on a scale of 5. Kristina has a very open ear to listen to what's needed, brings a good share of intuition to the table, and transforms her skill into fair offers, which she then delivers on time. Sweet!

With very little direction from me, Kristina wrote a well-researched and thoughtful article based on a general prompt. It's like she got in my head and figured out exactly what I wanted. I'd definitely recommend working with Kristina. She's professional, straightforward, and communicative.
