Evan Forster EDUCATION & CAREER CONSULTANT Forster-Thomas & FOUNDER Essay Busters

Kevin was my editor for The Good Men Project for several years. His ability to see the gaps in my work and to give me concise and insightful feedback was incredibility helpful in the revision process of my work. I have been a professional journalist for thirty years. I have written for magazines ranging from New York to Cosmopolitan to Details.

Frankly, editors are often arrogant, procrastinate, and make the writer feel small. Kevin does none of these.

Instead, he responded in a timely manner and communicated the precise voice and perspective of his publication, helping me modify my writing to fit the voice of the publication—while not letting me lose my own voice. This is an incredibly difficult needle to thread and Kevin does it expertly!

Mark Chimsky EDITORIAL CONSULTANT & WRITER
FORMER EXECUTIVE EDITOR Harper San Francisco; FORMER EDITOR-IN-CHIEF of TRADE PAPERBACKS Macmillan

I am delighted to recommend Kevin for his masterful editorial skills—as I writer, I know I am in good hands with Kevin. He has always managed to find ways to make my work better and to inspire me as a writer to go back for another round when my writing requires it. He has that gift I prize most in editors, a generosity of spirit that seeks to enlighten and improve while conveying a genuine sense of connection and support.

As a professional editor myself, the highest accolade I can give Kevin is that I totally trust him with my work.

Kevin is an editor who is also an accomplished writer and he has shown me, by example, what it means to be brave and honest on the page, to make each essay a voyage of discovery and to tackle hard truths that will touch the lives of others. I am honored to call Kevin my editor, my fellow writer, and my friend.

Maria Scharron del-Rio, Ph.D. ASSOCIATE DEAN Brooklyn College School of Education

As an academic who has done a lot of work collaboratively with other authors, I did not employ editing services for the better part of my career. Recently, I shifted to working on auto-ethnographic work, and decided to seek some assistance. I feel so fortunate to have found Kevin as my editor. Kevin has edited the last four manuscripts I have submitted, and it has not only contributed to the acceptance of all manuscripts for publication, it has improved my experience of writing.

Kevin’s observations and feedback have helped my writing and my voice become more clear and effective. Reviewers have increasingly remarked on how the writing in my manuscripts flows well, how the submissions are more polished than average, and how my writing increases the impact of my arguments.

Kevin is very skilled, not only in addressing the inevitable typos and grammatical errors in any manuscript, but also in posing the right questions that enable me to clarify my message and intent and therefore connect more with the reader.

Through his comments, it is evident that he cares about the writer within process of helping craft a wonderful piece as much as about the outcome. His editorial support on the articles that were more autobiographical reflected a profound sense of care, a willingness in joining me on the journey of writing my truth, and a deep respect for my voice and my story. His feedback helped me improve my writing and made the writing process smoother, as I trust that with his support I am able to proudly submit writing that genuinely reflects me and delivers an impactful message.

Kevin, like the best editors, can distill an author’s work to its essence. His eye for the core thread of a story—what defines a work—has been invaluable to my writing process. More than an editor, Kevin is a true collaborator.

Michael Shammas WRITER & LAWYER

Kevin edited and published the weekly column I formerly wrote for The Good Men Project. He was more than diligent and took care to make sure every article shined before hitting the “publish” button. More importantly, in addition to his obvious intelligence, Kevin has great people skills and makes those he works with feel at ease right away. If I could recommend him 100,000,000 times, I would.

Ginny Woods WRITER & FINANCIAL RESEARCH AllianceBernstein

Kevin is a thorough, diligent and creative editor. He knows how to guide a writer toward their own unique voice and story—a skill he has honed over years as a writer and teacher. Recently, he suggested I write an essay for a publication where he worked and gave me general guidelines for a topic. He brainstormed with me as I developed the idea and helped give it focus. When I submitted a draft, his edit, while fairly light, definitely improved the clarity and brevity of what I’d written. The essay ended up being very popular online, and it’s a piece of which I’m very proud. I look forward to doing more writing alongside Kevin.
