Client Responses:
"I’ve worked with Tina on five poems that went on to be published in literary magazines. The feedback she provided on line breaks, word choice, and form proved especially helpful to my revision process. The encouragement she provided motivated me to return to earlier drafts and revise in ways respectful of my original vision. She pushed me to surpass my own expectations of poems I could create." - Moriah Hampton/Poet
"Tina edited my work with a terrific instinct for the underlying concepts of each poem. I trust her advice on both language and content." - Matt/Poet. Chicago
"What if you love poetry but no one taught you the basic rules first so you could know how and when to break them? With Tina's editing, you’ll get the best of both." - Tom/Poet. Atlanta
