TESTIMONIALS
SOME NICE THINGS PEOPLE HAVE SAID ABOUT KATE
During my time serving as an editorial manager with Forbes Books, I have worked with countless ghostwriters of varying degrees of talent, competence, timeliness, and enthusiasm. By far, Kate Shoup is one of the most excellent writing professionals whom I have had the privilege to work with. The manuscripts she presented to me were nearly flawless, not only in the quality, content, and structure of the writing but in the formatting of the documents as well. Kate is prompt, kind, focused, and committed to seeing a project through to the very end, and I couldn't be more pleased with the final products she produces. For anyone looking for an outstanding ghostwriter to put an idea or passion into words, I highly recommend Kate Shoup as your go-to choice.
-Lauren Steffes, Editorial Manager, Forbes Books
As a published author, I know a thing or two about writing. That said, Kate is a superb writer and accomplished author. We hired to her to write a series of articles on digital transformation for a client of ours and she nailed it! They loved everything she wrote and working with her is a delight. She’s pleasant, knowledgeable and smart. If I had to sum our experience up in two words they’d be: HIRE HER.
-Adriana Cowdin, CEO, Dekaf Digital
Kate is better than a rock star! Selfishly, I don't want to endorse her so I can keep her working only on my projects. Selfishly, I don't want anyone to know that she's one of the most extraordinary book doctors out there; that she can take a pile of links and random paragraphs and knit them into an outstanding book. Selfishly, I don't want anyone to know that all the remaining project tasks for a book run more smoothly when she develops a book. Selfishly, I don't want anyone to know that I trust Kate with authors almost more than I trust myself. Selfishly, I don't want anyone to know that I'll assign her to projects when she's available even though the project doesn't require her high level of work because she's a joy to work with, making me smile each time I see her name pop up in an email long before I can get around to reading it. Selfishly, I don't want anyone to know that she always has a solution before she even tells me the problem. Wait, no, I don't want anyone to read this!!!
-Carla Hall, Managing Editor, Sigma Nursing
In 2003 my company took on an extremely ambitious project for a major computer maker to produce a series of 5 complex, full-color books in less than the same number of months. Kate served as the development editor for this project, and did a superlative job of bringing our editorial vision to life, and making our design and ideas as compelling and attractive as possible. Although the project was extremely demanding, and indeed way too ambitious, she helped us to turn a potential disaster into a resounding success. I would work with her again any time, and give her the highest possible recommendations.
-Ed Tittel, Freelance Technology Writer/Consultant
Kate is one of the most-organized and easy-to-work-with people ever! She's also a fantastic writer.
-Shawn Morningstar, Owner of Morningstar Book Design
Kate's ability to write original material on a variety of subjects and edit other people's work in second to none! One best part of working with Kate is her positive energy . She surrounds herself with others that are equally as good as her in her craft thus you know anyone she recommends to work with will be top-notch.
