Kirsten is a unique and caring presence for survivors of suicide loss. As she shared her experience of suicide loss in a variety of contexts, I’ve come to appreciate her first-hand experience with suicide loss, her tremendous empathy for the journey of loss and valuable insight that helps survivors come to terms with a life-altering experience.

Working with Kirsten on my first non-fiction book was transformative. Her editorial expertise helped me restructure my content and identify key improvements that elevated the entire manuscript.

What sets Kirsten apart is her approach—every suggestion was delivered with genuine kindness and deep appreciation for my work as an author. And beyond her excellent editing skills, Kirsten generously shares her publishing knowledge, offering practical advice to help new authors navigate bringing their book to market. Thanks to her expertise and caring approach, my book is becoming the best version it can be. I couldn’t recommend Kirsten more highly!
