“Writing my first book was a very special experience and I wouldn’t want to share this journey with anyone else but Kristine! She was amazing and I’m glad the universe led us to each other.

I was looking for someone to help me edit our first draft so I did my research and had a few calls and with Kristine I felt an instant “coup de coeur”. I felt comfortable and very positive throughout the whole process. She was dedicated to the project and had an amazing energy. We would go through every detail together to make sure the spirit of the story was well preserved while editing which was very important to me.

If you’re looking for someone to help you work on your dream book, I highly recommend that you have one call with Kristine. You can also contact me on LinkedIn to tell you more about my experience working with her.
Thank you Kristine, you’re awesome!”
