“Kirin McCrory is truly a play-whisperer. With an effortless honesty, her notes are always based in the existing text. She mines the play for what is there before inquiring what wants to be there or what is missing. In this way, a dramaturgy session with Kirin is almost a conversation with the play itself. She has a real gift, and my work is better because of her!”

“Kirin has the exceptional capability of helping with both the technical elements of writing, as well as the aesthetic/stylistic aspects. As a result, she is able to do something extremely rare: unlock and refine a writer’s vision, rather than re-write from her own perspective. ”

“I’m very protective about my work and don’t like to share it with many people but I instantly felt comfortable working with Kirin. She’s very calm and honest. I also really like brainstorming with her because she asks clear questions and can follow me along in my jumping all over the place. Most importantly, I really appreciate her unwavering belief in me and in my work. ”

“Kirin’s helped me develop nearly every script I’ve written in the past decade, and there’s no one I trust more to put eyes on something I’m, in its development, so protective of. Her feedback is always to the point, but never harsh. Thorough without being indulgent. Not once have I felt threatened by a note she has given me, but rather, felt that she always had the script’s best intentions in mind.”

“An editor who honors the voice of the writer while energizing the author to activate their language through succinct review is both balm and provocation – and should you be fortunate, Kirin McCrory.

Within two sessions I not only received revisions that honed and elevated my narrative, but came away with more sureness and approaches to self-edit and compose stronger methodological writing.

Kirin’s ability to craft edits that guide an artist through self-evaluation and thoroughness are career changing.”

“Kirin has a professional and responsible demeanor, is committed to working hard on the behalf of the writer, and has demonstrated profound cultural sensitivity in her work with writers diverse in race, ethnicity, gender expression, sexual orientation, and ability levels.”

“a bad bitch with them edits”

“Kirin McCrory is a phenomenal script analyzer and enhancer. She delves deep into the world of the play and focuses on the story the writer is telling. Her feedback cuts away outlining elements that may distract from theatricality and plot, encouraging the characters to shine through. She truly allowed my work to uncover its authentic voice so that the revision and refining processes were much easier to walk through.”

“Kirin is one of the most intelligent readers I’ve encountered as a writer. She has a keen eye for detail and the ability to identify patterns within a script or piece of prose that are often invisible to others. Not only does she diagnose problems within a text, but she also provides workable solutions that fit seamlessly into the larger work. I can not recommend her highly enough.”

“Kirin is a brilliant reader with a deep understanding of writing and story structure. She has an uncanny ability to not just identify underlying issues in a text, but provide potential solutions that align with an individual writer’s sensibilities. I have never once sent a project to Kirin that did not become stronger thanks to her constructive, comprehensive, and insightful feedback.”

“Kirin has this ability to cut to the core of your story, pinpointing strengths and weaknesses with precision. I’ve found myself gaining a greater understanding of my work and its potential when working with Kirin.”

“English is not my first language, and Kirin’s editing, sentence-structure, and summarizing has been extremely helpful. She edits my 15-pages papers very fast, which is perfet for my tight deadlines. She is also great with brainstorming. Sometimes, I struggle with knowing what to write because I have too many arguments/ideas in my head—but Kirin is great at helping create outlines and extracting what is in my head which I cannot explain with words.”
