I have had the privilege of working with Kylie in MA and PhD level creative writing workshops. She is generous and attentive in her advice to writers. She manages a rare blend of gentle thoughtfulness and rigour, and has a gift of patient, kind intelligence. 

Kylie possesses a unique ability to perceive a given writer's vision for a specific project, and to then tailor her guidance in that light. She is always sensitive, and has the highest degree of integrity and care. I trust her professionally and personally.

​Le Petite Mort
Kylie is an extremely wise and encouraging mentor. She brings her considerable experience of writing and the publishing world to her feedback, which is subtle and sure-footed, but always sensitively delivered. She's exactly the person you want on your team.

Kylie is a tactful and thoughtful editor and supportive mentor who helped me hugely when I was writing my first novel. I benefited greatly from her insightful and encouraging editorial suggestions. Kylie has a keen ear for the rhythm of language and a sensitive appreciation of character. Her suggestions were always given with the aim of making the work into the best version of itself it could be, and I felt that she understood and respected my vision for the novel. I gained great confidence from working with her and count myself lucky that she was one of the early readers of my manuscript.

After Everything,
The Housekeeper
​Kylie was my mentor and editor when I wrote After Everything. She was patient, encouraging and nursed me through many early drafts, always offering the most constructive and creative advice in both plot and character development. She knew when something was not working, and more importantly, knew how to fix it. I couldn't have completed the book without her encouragement and I know I wouldn't have got a two book deal with Simon and Schuster in America without her help. In short, she was invaluable. And good fun as well.

​It’s a lucky writer who falls into the hands of Kylie Fitzpatrick. Astute, capable, experienced and with a fantastic intuition for drawing out the soul of a manuscript, Kylie is able - with great gentleness - to guide you in the right direction. I highly recommend her as an editor and mentor.

I was lucky enough to work with Kylie Fitzpatrick on my first novel, and what I learned has informed all of my subsequent work. She has the uncanny ability to see exactly what a writer is trying to achieve, pinpoint areas which may be hindering the overall vision, and to suggest new paths to explore in order to strengthen the work as a whole. If you require a sensitive yet precise look at your writing, then I can’t recommend Kylie enough.

Kylie is more than an editor or consultant, she is a mentor and educator. With typical Aussie directness, she encouraged me to follow my dream of writing. She had great insight into where my characters needed to grow and how the plot needed to evolve. A kind, honest, and intelligent guide. No budding writer could ask for more.
