—Les Horswill, author and political analyst

 

 

“I had the pleasure of working with Kelly full-time for a number of years and she was always cheerful, willing, reliable, and smart. One couldn't ask for better. More recently I relied on her for a number of freelance projects at Tundra Books. Invariably, I (and the authors) were very pleased with the results. She is thorough and thoughtful and very willing.”

—Kathryn Cole, former publisher at Stoddart Kids, and former editorial director at Tundra Books (McClelland & Stewart)

Kelly has written for Lavalife for eight years, and I recommend her without reservation (even though she's a Libra!).”

—Kim Hughes, former editor-in-chief, Lavalife Corp.

“Kelly edited my children's book Hey Canada! for Tundra Books, and was a joy to work with. I called her my Queen of Details as she was amazing at keeping track of the myriad drafts, illustrations, photos, and minutiae of a book project. A good editor is a godsend for a writer, and a lousy one is a nightmare. Kelly improved the flow of the manuscript and made intelligent and respectful revisions. I thoroughly enjoyed and appreciated our working relationship.”

—Vivien Bowers, author of more than 15 books for children and adults
