Kavya's expertise and dedication were critical to the success of our grant submission. Her ability to manage the project and coordinate with multiple stakeholders was truly impressive and without her help, we would not have been able to meet our goals. We are also grateful for her willingness to collaborate and support women in the early and mid-career stages. Her passion for making a difference and helping others succeed is inspiring and her generosity and kindness are greatly appreciated.
We highly recommend Kavya's services to anyone in need of high-quality writing or editing assistance. She is a consummate professional who is reliable, responsive, and a pleasure to work with. We look forward to the opportunity to collaborate with her again in the future. Thank you for everything, Kavya. You are amazing!

I worked with Dr. Devarakonda on two grant submissions. She took time to understand the big picture questions I was addressing, pointed out holes in my prior logic that I had failed to see, and helped me fill them in. She is enthusiastic about science, and a careful reader and editor. I'll definitely work with her again!

Kavya helped us put together two new complex training grant applications. She was organized with collecting and compiling the required information from numerous different faculty members. She kept us on track with the grant writing timeline, had a clear list of requirements, pending documents, next steps, and faculty responsibilities in the process. She provided input on areas of weakness or lack of clarity in the research strategy, and came to meetings with a clear plan for the discussion. Overall, we would not have successfully submitted these two applications without Kavita’s help, and fortunately both were funded. I would definitely recommend Kavya and would be happy to work with her again.

In a short period of time Kavya was able to help with our grant in terms of organization, planning and main parts. She was able to grasp quickly the main theme and significance of our work. This made it easy and saved us a lot of time. She also broke down the parts of the grant in tangible manner and we communicated regularly about the editing progress. Overall, it was a great experience with Kavya and I would highly recommend her. Her scientific background are valuable for this process.

Kavya was very responsive, timely and professional. The feedback was spot on and the structure of the analysis to reviewer responses was incredibly helpful (I will use that structure myself in the future). I would recommend her without hesitation.
