“Because Kevin’s own mind and work are expansive - so was the process. Because he is skilled, incisive, and compassionate - so was his feedback.” — Author of Python Love, Dr. Shannon Arntfield

“The possibilities Kevin sees in my work open up space for me to play in, and my writing becomes both more precise and more expansive in response to his unwaveringly detailed, sensitive, and thoughtful feedback.” — Author of remnants, Dr. Shelly Harder

"He's detail-oriented and thorough, yes; he's appropriately gentle with his criticisms, yes; he's attuned to the rhythm of the sentence, yes—he’s everything one should expect a professional writer, reader, and editor to be. But he also senses intuitively where your work is going and provides suggestions that feel like they came straight out of your own head.” -  Author of Cicada Summer, Erica McKeen
