STORYTELLING

Because we had the bike shop in Hollywood, we have had many features written about us over the years including the Wall Street Journal, Guardian, Fortune Magazine, L.A. Times and many more, and no one previously captured the essence of what we do as well as Kim has and been able to put it on paper. Chris Kelly, Proprietor, Topanga Creek Outpost (formerly Topanga Creek Bicycles), Letter To Editor, Topanga Messenger

Kim is a masterful communicator. She writes clearly and precisely, with an affinity for storytelling. Dr. Gabrielle Arenge, Educational Researcher, Cambridge University

GRANTWRITING
I can’t thank you enough for yesterday’s conversation.  I feel like I got lucky and spoke to a Master fundraiser/grant writer.  Your knowledge and passion for the craft shines through.  It was enlightening and inspiring on many levels. Johnny Clark.​, VS Theatre, Los Angeles

​Kim Zanti helped Get Lit grow from a small $200,000 organization, to a healthy mid-size organization with an operating budget of almost $1,000,000. As a development consultant and grant supervisor, her expertise has strengthened our internal organization, helped define Get Lit's mission, and, most importantly, told our story effectively to funders and donors. I think she's a genius! Kim is one of the luckiest things to ever happen to Get Lit.  Diane Luby Lane, Executive Director, Get Lit - Words Ignite  

CONSULTING

​Kim gave us ideas to help shape our project, and engaged in our creative process, she turned in copy quickly, meeting our client's prerequisites and some difficult deadlines, and we got the grant.  Max Miller, Deacon Entertainment​​​

COACHING/SOUNDING BOARD SESSIONS

​I was surprised about how quickly we were able to create a space for vulnerability and each get what we needed at that moment of time. I loved those prompts and learned something new from all of you.  Each one of you said something that stuck with me. Thank you for creating this great opportunity. Dawn Reese, CEO, The Wooden Floor, journaling session participant

​

The experience was really great,  Kim.  It was compelling to a person like me who has the desire to journal, to reflect -- but who never takes as much time for me as I should. Sandra Richardson, Dallas Children's Theatre, journaling session participant
 

Kim’s focus, sense of harmony, awareness, and calm, intuitive nature grounds those around her and encourages risk taking within a safe context. This is key to self-expression and creativity. 
Dr. Sherry J. Kerr, Educator, Senior Research Associate, Centers for Research on Creativity ​

​

Working with Kim was both an eye and heart opening experience that allowed me to move my project forward with clarity and purpose. Through a series of focused conversations and brainstorming sessions, I was able to make tangible progress on a long-standing creative endeavor. I look forward to working with Kim in the future! Lisa Kenner Grissom, playwright  

 

Kim is expert at making everyone feel comfortable with assurances and reinforcements that wrong answers and wrong ways of doing things were not a possibility. This was one of the best three hours of my time ever spent. -- a terrific experience. Bonnie S., Improv for Writers Workshop Participant​​​
