AARON WHITMAN, President, ABLE SENSE
Karen is a thorough editor, taking her time to look at both the big picture and the minutiae of the story. She isn't afraid to ask questions about the story's direction, continuity, and characters, even as she works to improve grammar and word choice. The changes she's suggested have made sense for the story and for my characters.
