Endorsements

ENDORSEMENTS

Kelley provided one voice and style editing services on the Purple Line proposal. Kelley impressed the team with her editing capabilities from day 1. We were amazed how she could take an ‘almost there’ piece of copy and still find unexpected ways to raise it to the next level, and even more so how she could take a very challenging read and turn it into something with flow.

 

What I really appreciated about working with Kelley was her flexibility with the process. We had a lot of writing for this proposal (~400 pages total) and Kelley was able to jump into sections and systematically edit through all the varying writing styles and writing qualities. It was extremely helpful to have her wide skillset to be able to deploy her in multiple ways. We were able to give her sections that were quite a mess to work on organization and flow and give her other sections that were in decent shape but needed final polishing. With her editing we were able to overcome the gaps and elevate the full proposal to a consistent level of quality.
