About Me
Hi! I am so glad you decided to stop by today! Before you wander around the site, I'd like to introduce you to me and my writing.
In my life and my work, I aspire to "pen light," to write in a way that illuminates. Sometimes light exposes hard things; other times it reveals delights we didn't know existed. There's a place for both, and I think you'll find both as you get to know my work.
​
I'd like you to invite you to join me. Sign up for my mailing list, follow me on social media, or register for a workshop. Together we can make the world a little brighter.
Client Testimonials
“
I have sub-contracted K for nearly a dozen child protection projects ranging from editing small documents to co-developing on-line trainings and a toolkit for practitioners. She consistently delivers a high-quality product and earns praise from both my colleagues and our clients. K has demonstrated a willingness and capacity to quickly assimilate unfamiliar content and adapt her writing style to various audiences. I have also appreciated her readiness to ask questions to clarify project goals and objectives and to suggest course corrections when needed.
“
I cannot recommend Kristen highly enough. She accepted an assignment on short notice, and produced amazing results on a tight deadline. Kristen is a wonderful communicator, and dedicated to achieving the client's vision. She has a natural talent for assuming different writing voices and for fleshing out different characters. I look forward to working with her again soon.
