‘Karen and I worked together at Cellarmaster Wines, where I was Senior Copywriter. Karen’s immense skill and talent with words enables her to turn her hand to any copywriting task on any subject — blog posts, newsletters, articles, short or long copy, web content, interviews — with a deftness and lightness of touch that is a pleasure to witness. She chooses her words well and aims them with precision right at the audience you’re targeting. Hire her: you won’t be sorry!’
— Caroline Foreman, copywriter, Laithwatie’s Wine People, Cellarmaster Wines
'Karen is an excellent editor. Through her insightful feedback, I have learnt how to turn my manuscript into my best book. Even though the majority of our working relationship was done online, Karen communicated with me constantly and updated with me any ideas that she felt would benefit my work. Karen is an author's dream come true.'
— Maggie Eyre, performance coach and director of Fresh Eyre, author of Being You: How to build your personal brand and confidence
'I have been lucky enough to work with Karen for over 15 years. As an editor, she is skilled and sensitive, able to work effectively with authors to shape their work into the best possible manuscript. As a project manager, she efficiently works to deadline, communicates well with design and production teams, and has a great eye for detail. I know that I can rely on Karen to deliver work of the highest possible standard, and that it will be an enjoyable process.'
— Anouska Jones, Publisher, Exisle Publishing
'Audrey Thomas and I worked with Karen in 2016 on our book, I Don’t Have Time! published by Exisle. Karen provided the editorial perspective we needed to turn our unpolished draft into a well-paced, engaging read. In every instance, her editorial suggestions elevated the structure and quality of the manuscript. She has a strong grasp on how the overall narrative will flow best, and a keen eye for the detail in the language.
'In 2017, we won an award for "Writing Excellence", which is in part due to Karen’s flair with words. Karen happened to be working with us during a period when I was dealt a significant personal trauma. She responded with compassion and thoughtfulness, and went beyond the expected scope of an editor to assist us to meet our book deadline in seemingly impossible circumstances. Her calm strength, clear direction and high professionalism was appreciated enormously, and I wouldn’t hesitate to work with her again, and recommend her work to others.'
— Emma Grey, author of I Don't Have Time! Unrequited and Tilly Maguire and the Royal Wedding Mess
'Karen has expertly edited six of my books over the past ten years and I highly recommend her for a number of reasons. She has a great understanding of editing and she not only improves my work (and spots those pesky mistakes), she also keeps my writing "voice" authentic and consistent as she does not over-edit (change the author’s unique voice). Thank you Karen, you have taught me a lot about editing, style and much more.'
— Karen Fischer, author and owner of Skin Friend Pty Ltd
'I have worked with Karen for a number of years as an editor and a proofreader. In that time she has proven herself to be a thoughtful, thorough and considerate editor and an eagle eye proofreader. She has never missed a deadline and is very reliable. She also has a great sense of humour and is very enjoyable to work with.
I would heartily recommend Karen in any creative capacity.'
