“I am so thrilled that I was able to work with Kristin Thomas Sancken on my anthology project for The Modern Saints. I have admired her writing and insight for years, so I could not have been more thrilled with the essay she contributed on St. Elizabeth. It is clear that this piece was well-researched, and she pulled out the best wisdom from this information with which to connect to a modern issue. The depth and thoughtfulness of her piece exceeded my expectations, and the writing itself was skillful and a perfect addition to the book. I would highly recommend her to anyone seeking a writer unafraid of tackling difficult topics and producing honest, clear, insightful work.”

“Kristin is a diligent, creative, and empathetic writer. I had the privilege of working with her on the ELCA World Hunger Vacation Bible School project (and many projects after that). She approached challenges with curiosity and created content for faith communities that invited them to participate in difficult conversations in accessible ways.”

– Dr. Peter McLellan, Program Director, Hunger Education, ELCA World Hunger

“Kristin is an exceptional writer and editor. But perhaps even more importantly, she is a caretaker of stories. A gifted listener, Kristin is a wonderful combination of talent and trustworthiness.”

“Kristin Sancken has been a pleasure to work with, and I highly recommend her as an
editor. She is warm and conscientious, and I felt comfortable working with her. Her feedback was enlightening and demonstrated her expertise in the art of writing. She offered suggestions for improvement and recommended multiple resources specific to my needs as a writer. Kristin’s critique was thorough, and her feedback has helped me immensely to improve my writing. She was professional throughout our interactions. She clearly discussed the scope of her work with me during our initial zoom interview, and she delivered exactly what we agreed to. She exceeded my expectations, and I was completely satisfied working with her.”
