“Candace Kearns Read, an accomplished writer herself, read the early drafts of my manuscript and copyedited the later drafts. Her criticism and positive encouragement helped me see the book through to publication.”
“As a writer and editor, Candace Kearns Read has keen insight into the many ties that bind human relationships, what happens when those ties unravel, and how people put themselves and their relationships back together. Candace is one of my top go-to colleagues for feedback that cuts to the heart of things, honest but also encouraging, full of the kind of tough love that I need to serve the story.”
“Thank you for all your wisdom and guidance. You are a great teacher, and the work done in your class has been so helpful. You give excellent advice, and don’t sugar coat, but at the same time install confidence.”

“Candace Kearns Read has a knack for whipping a weak script into shape. She is tough, but in the kindest way.”
“I’ve learned more from Candace than I ever did from any class, book, or “expert” I ever looked to for help. Her criticism is constructive, encouraging and enlightening.”
