  • “My manuscript was recently reviewed by Cat and I couldn’t be more pleased with her beta reading services. Her notes were insightful and spot on in terms of areas for improvement. Her report was detailed and easy to follow. I have incorporated all of her feedback and will definately be using her services again for my next manuscript.”

The help and guidance she provided will be invaluable to enhance the flow, development and clarity of my manuscript. Not only did she spot areas that needed improvement, but she provided words of encouragement and nods of approval when I was headed in the right direction.”
