I have used Looseleaf for a number of projects, and have always been incredibly pleased by their speed, quality, and professionalism. Most recently, they designed the cover for my novel Ghost Station, and I love it. Phenomenal work, and I’ll definitely continue to use them for every project I can.

Kristy took me through the formatting process with ease and assurance. I quickly trusted her and her opinions and knew that the end result would be a quality product. As I have used her files to set up both my ebook and hard copy, they go through the review process with ease—absolutely no problems at all, and the finished product is wonderful. Kristy also designed my cover and her patience with my decision making and her skills to make my vision a reality truly created a beautiful outcome.

Kristy is very knowledgeable in her craft. She took time to answer my many questions and was thorough in her services. Highly recommend working with her!
—Jared Swanson, fantasy writer
[Kristy] honed in on the weak spots and provided meaningful suggestions to improve my draft. Her comments were smart, professional, and dare I say, witty. She made me giggle in a critique of my own manuscript, if that says anything!
—Megan Hastings, fantasy writer
Assembling a novel is akin to fitting ten thousand pieces of an intricate jigsaw puzzle together. Through several iterations of my manuscript, Kristy has been relentless in showing me where pieces were in the wrong place, were starved for elaboration, or belonged in an entirely different puzzle. The day I began working with Kristy was a fortunate day. I don’t want to imagine what my project would look like without her.
—Ron Felt, literary fiction writer

Kristy provided a plethora of information to help me make my writing better.
—Michael White, fantasy writer
Kristy did a superb job in creating a comprehensive index for a challenging legal book our university academic center put together on the law and Islam in Europe. Her index demanded a thorough understanding of the contents of the book, her review of which led to significant improvements of the text of the book itself, beyond merely the index. I highly recommend her work and look forward to hopefully collaborating with her again.
—David Kirkham, professor of law
Loved Kristy’s work. It was clear she spent a lot of time being thorough and paying attention to quality.
—Angela J. Ford, fantasy author
[Kristy] did excellent work copyediting my manuscript and she offered a few simple insights to the manuscript that demonstrated a depth of story understanding that makes me feel comfortable recommending her for developmental edits too. I wanted someone to help polish my grammar, usage, and punctuation and Kristy did all of this and more.
—Jessica Donegan, fantasy writer
Really knows her stuff. Caught a lot of items I never would have noticed on my own. My only complaint is that I didn’t start working with her earlier in the drafting process. She is going to be my go-to editor from now on, from start to finish.
—J. Michael White, urban fantasy author
Working with Kristy was an absolute joy. Not only is she prompt, decisive, and professional in her responses and her work ethic, but she absolutely goes above and beyond the call of duty to prepare a finished work for future publication. I do not have any doubt in my mind that she will completely crush your expectations.
—Elise Rhiannon Kosier, fantasy writer
