Vashti Kalvi has worked as a writing consultant for me on a number of writing projects for my music business. Her creativity and perspective are inspiring. She has the invaluable ability and skill to have a clear vision for a piece while also paying careful attention to detail. Vashti is my ‘go to’ whenever I feel stuck in the writing process.
