"Working closely and intensely together for a number of months, Kathy provided much needed expert guidance. I wasn't a first time author, but I might as well have been. It was my first experience working collaboratively with an experienced professional. The process was relatively painless, as she always deferred to my vision. She was invaluable in helping me hone that work with focus and clarity, from a raw and sprawling draft into something I feel proud to have written. Kathy is sensitive, diligent, and responsive."-BILL JANOVITZ, AUTHOR OF ROCKS OFF!
"Kathy has that rare ability to both acquire and develop literary works with a commercial sense as well as line edit and produce content with a flawless eye. She pursued everything with a perfect combination of passion, aplomb, and unflappable charm." -JUDITH REGAN, CEO, REGAN ARTS
"Kathy is great to work with, guiding me and inspiring me to take my writing further and make my book the best that it could be."-DAVE HILL, AUTHOR OF TASTEFUL NUDES
"I consider Kathy Huck the cornerstone of my literary career. She brought my self-published Once We Were Brothers into St. Martin’s Press and spearheaded its promotion to an international bestseller. Her keen instincts identified passages that needed re-writing, clarification, and depth. Kathy is a hands-on editor who will work closely with her authors. She brings an indispensable publishing and marketplace know-how to her projects. I cannot recommend her strongly enough."-RON BALSON, AUTHOR OF ONCE WE WERE BROTHERS
“I wouldn’t have been able to do this book without Kathy. From conceptualizing the structure to writing, from the proposal to the final pass of the manuscript, she was the most important sounding board throughout the entire process. And she did it with warmth and savvy every step of the way.” —LISA SUN, AUTHOR OF GRAVITAS
“Kathy was the perfect first-book editor. She was patient, respectful, and took the time we both needed to make my book the best it could be. I’m so proud of it, and I couldn’t have gotten there without her.”-JENNIFER WILSON, AWARD-WINNING AUTHOR OF RUNNING AWAY TO HOME
"Brave . . . That’s the word that first comes to mind when we think of Kathy Huck. New to HarperCollins Publishers, she was tasked with being the editor for us, two writing novices determined to create a home repair book for women. Kathy, who was unfamiliar with the subject matter, tackled it like a pro; in fact, you could say she nailed it. She was an astute editor, guiding us through difficult times and finessing the best out of us, even when we felt like we had no more to give. Thanks to Kathy’s talents and commitment to our mission of helping women become repair literate, Dare to Repair became a NYT and National Bestseller." -JULIE SUSSMAN AND STEPHANIE GLAKAS-TENET, AUTHORS OF DARE TO REPAIR
