“Karen Pittelman is the only person I know who can banish my writing anxiety and get me moving forward, even when I’m feeling frozen. Gently setting much-needed deadlines and offering specific, constructive insights, she’s taken my novel to a whole new level in just a few sessions.”
—Emily Rems, Managing Editor, Bust Magazine
“I turned to Karen because she is a poet who knows how to struggle and how to heal. Karen can weigh the precise meaning and temperature of a word; she can nudge it into a stronger place in your sentence. If you have a knot, she will unravel it with the tenderest tug. If you have a fear she will shoo it away. If you lose your story’s rhythm she will guide your hand to its pulse.”
—Nicholas Powers, journalist for The Village Voice, The Indypendent and Vibe.com
“Karen Pittelman has proven herself essential to me in all phases of my writing. Whether taking unformed ideas and helping me find the core themes within, or tightening an already formed manuscript, Karen knows the exact right words to say to keep me improving without dampening my enthusiasm. She is a resource I consider myself lucky to have.”
