“Pat Kramer – Writer For Hire – did an amazing job helping to write a memoir for my mother. My mother emigrated to the USA from Cuba right before the Cuban Missile Crisis in the 60s and my siblings and I were very eager to know more about her life in Cuba. Despite the fact that my mother was reticent at first to discuss what she considered to be “not happy memories” Pat did an amazing job of making her feel at home. She also asked the right questions and reconstructed the memoir in such a way that my siblings and I now have a beautiful and poignant document of the emotional arc and context in which events occurred. Prior to this we had only scattered and seemingly fuzzy memories. Pat thoughtfully took our few treasured family photos and placed them alongside the story in a way that truly brought both text and image to life. I previously felt I had lost a portion of my history to the Cuban revolution. I now feel that my family and I are part of that history and look forward to sharing my mother’s story with my son someday. This has been such a fascinating, healing and uniting gift for my entire family. I highly recommend Pat Kramer’s memoir service!” Laine Proctor, The QuickBooks Doctor!

I have never given Pat a piece of work she has not made better. Pat has also helped me and others I know with our LinkedIn pages. She has both suggested things for those pages and helped me understand new rules on that site. Thank you, Pat.” K.C. Victor, Victor Legal Solutions
“Pat took one look at my LinkedIn profile, and in very little time, I went from a very basic profile to fully professional presence.

I would recommend Pat to anyone, such as myself, who doesn’t have the time or skillset to create professional marketing media. David Hoffman, IP Attorney
“I’ve been working with Pat since 2010. I would estimate that she has written and distributed at least thirty press releases for me over the years.

This has led to enhanced speaking opportunities, interviews with the media and an influx of more suitable clients.
