“Kara is the best editor I have worked with. She does far more than tidy prose, she gets right inside the argument, and has a particular gift for taking flat, machine-smooth text and giving it back its judgement and voice. In an age when anyone can generate competent sentences, that is exactly the work that now matters.”

“Kara is globally recognized for her conscientious and thorough editorial skills. Because she has the capacity to track with sophisticated theoretical argumentation, Kara has the unique ability as a copy editor to read and edit manuscripts not only for nuanced grammatical refinements, but also for continuity of meaning and logical consistency. Whenever possible I prefer to have Kara look over my writing prior to peer-review and prior to publication.”
