“I have been extremely pleased with the work Tamar has done. Her insights into the manuscripts have been invaluable and on point. I highly recommend her services.”
Melody R. Guy

“In my 17+ years of public relations, Tamar Love Grande has to be one of the most professional and talented writers with whom I have ever had the pleasure of working. She pays close attention to detail and always delivers on time. She understands that in public relations, timing is everything and accuracy is equally as important. I highly recommend Tamar to anyone who values creativity and clarity in public relations and marketing communications.”
Andrea Burnett
PR Director, Chronicle Books
“Tamar Love Grande is able to discover the author’s intent and edit in a way that makes the manuscript richer and fuller—without imposing her own ideas of what the text should be.”
Amy Johnston
Poet & Teacher
“Tamar is classy, creative, hilarious, ridiculous, cutting edge and fun to work with. She always turns in her work on time, and when a last-minute assignment comes up, I can count on her to think of something awesome and turn it around quickly, even on a short deadline. She’s one of our strongest writers and a pleasure to work with. I’d be happy to recommend her to anyone.”
C. J. Arabia
Managing Editor, Smosh.com
“When I was laid off I knew I needed to refresh my resume to present a more polished, professional appearance. I immediately sought Tamar Love Grande’s assistance in preparing my resume. I believe that her retooling of my resume was the key reason that I was able to obtain an average of two interviews a week. In the end, I was able to secure my dream job. I would highly recommend her work to anyone seeking an individual with the knack for pulling scattered information together into a kickass resume. Tamar is professional and personable and has a very high work ethic. This alone is enough reason to work with her.”
Brandy Batze
Office Manager
“Tamar Love Grande is one of the most professional, efficient and skillful editors I have ever worked with. Her insights and creativity, together with her sensitivity to my own style, have produced two quality manuscripts and several articles for me. Tamar is to writing what Michelangelo is to art: She stays with you until you are completely satisfied. You will have absolutely no regrets contracting with Tamar.”
