Bio
Kathy Lynn
Every writer needs a good editor. In my case, I had a superb editor in Holly Bennett. Holly edited my two parenting books and improved the content immeasurably. We worked as a team and without her, I wouldn't be so proud of my books. She is simply the best. Easy to work with, honest in her appraisal and meets all deadlines. You can't do any better than Holly.
Teresa Pitman
Here's why Holly is a great editor: • she can put herself in the reader's place to understand what needs more explanation and what needs less detail; • she can see both the big picture of the article, book or story (working on structure and design) and the small details (adjusting sentences and phrases); • she respects both readers and writers; • she truly cares about good writing. I've worked with dozens of editors over the years and Holly is one of the best. She's always positive, a pleasure to work with, and, most importantly, she makes your work better. It's still your work, still your voice, but it's better.
