Lucy BeerElemental Consulting
Her work is easy to read and edit, features thorough and varied research and freely incorporates relevant and entertaining pop culture references. She's receptive to suggestions and criticism (though rarely needed) and is all-around a delight to work with. It's well written and rarely needs much, if any, work upon submission.

Connie Phillips, Music EditorBlogcritics.org
Kit was very professional and easy to work with. She was always open to sugggestions and/or constructive criticism. Kit's articles, in addition to being very well written, are also thoroughly researched -- I often learn something new when I read her work. Kit also writes in an entertaining, easy to read style. I enjoy working with Kit because she usually gets it right the first time, her stuff is usually error free, and she is open to editorial suggestions on how to improve. I would highly recommend Kit O'Toole to anyone seeking quality work in music journalism. She is knowledgeable about her subject and writes in a style which is both entertaining and informative.
Glen Boyd, Assistant Music EditorBlogcritics.org
Kit O'Toole has written numerous reviews for our musical artists that not only demonstrate her knowledge of music but a willingness to investigate and support each artist. Not only that but she is delightful to work with as she communicates clearly and cares about the articles and reviews she writes. She also understands deadlines and the importance of a well constructed review which makes her a valuable resource to our company. Kit takes the time to research the artists and genres of music so that she can write intelligently and accurately which is something that is lacking in other writers. She also knows how to carve out her own original story from the press releases and materials we send her instead of regurgitating what she has already received from our company press kits.
Joy Foster, PublicistSV Media Relations
Kit is the consummate professional. She responds to e-mail correspondence in a timely manner and produces excellent work! It is apparent and obvious, by reviewing her work, that she is very attentive to detail(s). Kit's writing is very conversational in its tone -- enveloping the reader as if they were invited into her home and engaged in a one-on-one conversation. In a nutshell, Kit's output is amazing. Kit is always willing to go the extra mile!
Clayton Perry, FounderNUBIANO Project
Kit invests knowledge both of her subjects and of her craft into each of her article submissions, making my role as editor not only an easy one, but a pleasurable one as well. Kit understands what she's writing about, whether demonstrating it with perspective on an artist's first album or a legend's latest release. Even if she's writing on a new or relatively unfamiliar topic, she brings a certain insight and appreciation to her work that makes it amenable to readers. I continue working with Kit because she continues to submit quality work. I enjoy editing her writing, but — as it requires little to no correcting or altering — I enjoy reading it more. One of the most telling aspects of a writer is how that writer accepts — or even challenges with a substantive argument — constructive criticism. In editing her work, I've never found Kit to be anything but accommodating and attentive to what's ultimately in the best interest of her writing.
