Kurt is like a modern day George S. Kaufman who can insert just the right word where a dozen others shouldn’t be and make it look easy. At the same time, he is one of those rare individuals in this business (so-called) who not only has the skill and acumen of an editorial wordsmith, but the supreme good sense to know when and where not to suggest edits. Whether correcting or collaborating, Kurt is my literary go-to-guy.
