Organizations I’ve worked with

  • "Caroline Kessler is a thoughtful, encouraging, diligent editor who helped me transform my first manuscript from a sprawling journal entry into a polished book.

    Her guidance and expertise helped me self-publish a bestselling book that led to me getting a book deal with an imprint of Penguin Random House.

    Most importantly, Caroline offers honest and constructive feedback, and is a joy to work with; I've hired her twice and would hire her again."

    —Adam Smiley Poswolsky, bestselling author of The Quarter-Life Breakthrough, Friendship in the Age of Loneliness, and The Workplace Belonging Toolkit.

  • "Caroline is an invaluable thought partner on a broad range of issues, ranging from communications to all-team convenings. She is able to easily understand and work with complicated ideas, wrestle these concepts into digestible writing, integrate others' feedback, and create pieces that make an impact.

    Caroline brings a strong editing eye, seamless and agile project management, and strategic questioning to all that she does."

    — Jaime Rapaport Barry, formerly Chief of Staff & Brand Strategy, UpStart and co-founder of JRB Group
