Award-Nominated Author | Pro Book Reviewer, Copywriter, and Editor

My job is to recognize, respect, and amplify your unique voice to make your work shine in the slush pile. I OFFER: ✍️ Developmental Editing ✍️ Line Editing ✍️ Copyediting ✍️ Proofreading ✍️ Beta Reading ✍️ Plot Reviews ✍️ Book Blurbs & Author Bios ✍️ Editorial Assessments & Critiques ✍️ Plot Outline Assistance & Creation ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ "Kristian did an amazing job, delivering more than I expected.... For the biggest problem areas, she provided a very detailed solution that could be implemented. I will definitely be back!" WHAT I BRING TO THE TABLE: ✔️ An unmatched knowledge of genre conventions and tropes in science fiction, fantasy, horror, mystery, and romance. ✔️ Detailed editorial assessments and critiques that point out every area where your writing has room to grow — and offer strategies to help you get there. ✔️ Comments that go above and beyond to teach you what you need to know to produce cleaner drafts every time. ✔️ Intimate familiarity with the Chicago Manual of Style, MLA 9, and the AP Stylebook. ✔️ Unparalleled experience professionally blurbing, reviewing, writing, and editing fiction. ✔️ Award nominations and wins for fiction, poetry, and teaching/advising. ✔️ A deep appreciation for the hard work involved on both sides of the slush pile. I find the plot holes, structural issues, sentence-level errors, and punctuation mishaps that distract readers, agents, and acquiring editors from understanding and appreciating your protagonist's journey. YOU SHOULD HIRE ME IF YOU... 🤝 ... just finished your first manuscript and don't know where to go from here. 🤝 ... received a plot outline from a ghostwriter and want to know if it's any good. 🤝 ... aren't sure what genre(s) and subgenre(s) best fit your work. 🤝 ... have a genre-bending project that needs a second pair of eyes. 🤝 ... read a review that made you reconsider writing as a hobby or career. 🤝 ... haven't written in a long time and want an unbiased critique of your work. 🤝 ... need help with macro-level tasks, such as plotting a series, developing strong characters, writing convincing dialogue, etc. 🤝 ... want to develop a style sheet to ensure consistency across multiple writers, editors, and books. 🤝 ... speak English as a second language and want a copy editor to double-check your work. 🤝 ... composed your query letter and need a final review of your manuscript to make sure all the t's are crossed and i's are dotted. 🤝 ... don't know the difference between proofreading and beta reading, but are certain your book needs a doctor TODAY. Editing is a collaborative process, and I look forward to working with you to bring out the best in your fiction. WE WON'T BE A GOOD FIT IF YOU... ❌ ... have a screenplay, poetry chapbook, or work of nonfiction that needs assessment. ❌ ... are looking for someone to write your academic essay or circumvent plagiarism detectors for you. ❌ ... use AI writing and editing tools to create a product. ❌ ... want someone to tell you only what you want to hear. ❌ ... aren't interested in constructive criticism. 📚 Ready to get started?
