Catherine Dee

I can't say enough good things about Catherine. She took my messy first draft that was more stream of consciousness than a manuscript and transformed it into a book I am genuinely proud of. She has an exceptional ability to preserve an author's voice while bringing clarity, structure, and flow to the writing. Throughout the process, she was thoughtful, insightful, encouraging, and incredibly professional. I truly couldn't have asked for a better editor, and I wouldn't trust my work with anyone else.

I am a psychologist, and I was very particular in using my intuition when reviewing editors' profiles to see who I thought would be a good fit. Catherine's profile led me to believe she personally invests in what she is doing, caring and motivated to give something to the world through her work. Catherine exceeded my hopes. My original content was strong, but too dense to keep readers engaged. She helped me streamline the book, maintaining it's essence and my voice while making it less taxing to follow. She poured tremendous effort into her edit, offering countless suggested edits to sentence structure, tone, comprehensibility, and to streamline the book. I kept the majority of her edits. I am known to my friends and colleagues as a good writer, but she improved the work dramatically, without altering my voice. Thank you so much Catherine for your dedication and skill!
