Testimonials
* Writing Pursuits LLC was formerly known as Word Marker Edits.
I would recommend her to any author who wants to produce a high-quality reader experience.
I’ve worked with Kathrese on three projects. Each time she amazed me with her ability to strengthen my prose, catch details I’ve missed, and enhance the impact of my stories while staying true to their heart. She’s also incredibly organized and thorough, so I can rest easy knowing my manuscripts are in such great hands. I would recommend her to any author who wants to produce a high-quality reader experience.

The Destined Series
She’s a detail-oriented editor for writers who need a logical, linear thought process applied to their fiction.
I have given over my manuscripts and my self esteem to Kathrese, my writing and critique partner, and she miraculously improves both! Not only does she ferret out my inconsistencies and plot convolutions, but she also handles my sensitive writer’s ego with care and gentleness. She’s a detail-oriented editor for writers who need a logical, linear thought process applied to their fiction.

Beyond the Tales series
I never want to release a title she hasn’t had her eyes on.
Kathrese blew me away with an almost superhuman attention to detail for everything from grammar to quietly lurking formatting issues. I never want to release a title she hasn’t had her eyes on.

Professional and precise the entire time.
I appreciate your work so much. Not once did it feel personal. Professional and precise the entire time, and I was able to apply the work with greater ease than with previous edits.

When Your Heart Endures
I appreciated how she took the time to turn nearly every correction into a “teaching moment.”
As an indie author, I wanted to publish the best possible product, and Kathrese helped me to do just that. Her keen eyes spotted many things that I would have found in the work of others but missed in my own work because I was too engrossed in the flow of the story. I appreciated how she took the time to turn nearly every correction into a “teaching moment,” which served to strengthen my writing skills. I will pass each of my future books in front of her detail-oriented eyes for sure!
