I am a highly experienced American editor and writer based in Europe, which offers you a unique time-zone advantage. Because I'm hours ahead, I can work on your project while you're offline—ensuring that your work keeps moving forward. I’m a professional editor and writer with an extensive background spanning the full lifecycle of print publications—from original writing and copyediting to production and final print layouts. I hold master’s degrees in anthropology and counseling psychology, along with certificates in nonfiction writing and equity and diversity. My work focuses on clarity, accuracy, correct grammar and mechanics, stylistic consistency, voice preservation, and presentation. PLEASE NOTE: I don't provide structural or developmental editing, curriculum development, scholarly or academic editing, fact-checking, citation or reference formatting, or marketing or web copy. My freelance services are focused within two distinct areas: 1. K–6 Educational Content (Educational Publishers & TpT Creators) • Nonfiction Writing: I've authored 300+ leveled books and hundreds of reading passages for educational publishers, including Reading A–Z, Benchmark Education, and Pearson. I specialize in translating science, history, and world cultures into age-appropriate, culturally sensitive, grade-aligned text. • Copyediting & Text Leveling: I've edited thousands of student texts and teacher-facing materials. For student text, I ensure strict compliance with Lexile and other readability metrics. 2. Adult Nonfiction Books • Psychology, Health & Professional Growth: Leveraging a background in counseling psychology and professional coaching, I edit books across a range of topics—including general psychology, Internal Family Systems (IFS), coaching, wellness, career development, and financial literacy. I ensure clarity and accessibility while protecting each author's authentic voice. • Cultural & Inclusive Focus: Drawing on a master’s degree in anthropology and a certificate in equity and diversity, I provide attentive editing for manuscripts addressing diverse populations, disability, immigrant experiences, and multicultural perspectives. • Notable & Bestselling Projects: I have provided meticulous copyediting and proofreading for high-profile books, including three titles by Internal Family Systems (IFS) founder Dr. Richard C. Schwartz, Rebecca Fett’s global health bestseller "It Starts with the Egg," and a New York Times best-selling finance book. Technical Scope & Capabilities • Editorial Standards: Expert application of the Chicago Manual of Style (CMOS) across line editing, copyediting, and final proofreading stages. • Layout & Design: Design and creation of print-ready layouts as well as meticulous quality-control reviews of prepublication pages, backed by years of experience as a full-time graphic artist. • Workflow Environments: Highly proficiency in MS Word (Track Changes), InDesign, and Acrobat Pro markup; proficient in Google Docs; experience working with Adobe InCopy. Note: I format for print only and don't create ePub files, but I can confidently refer you to an excellent Upwork ePub specialist I've partnered with for ten years. If your project requires an experienced, detail-oriented professional who ensures clarity and accuracy while maintaining deadlines, please contact me to discuss your project. What my clients say: "I've worked for major New York book publishers and top-tier university presses, and Kirin is one of the best copy editors I've encountered. She is an editor's dream: sharp, analytical, logical, detail-oriented, and a pleasure to work with. I rest easier knowing that she's on the case whenever she tackles one of my projects." —John Rousselle, Former Senior Content Editor, Reading A–Z "Best proofreader/editor I have ever worked with, and I've worked with many. Meticulous, extremely knowledgeable, and thorough—she was born for this kind of work and does it extremely well." —Andrew Neitlich, Founder and Director, The Center for Executive Coaching "Kirin has an incredibly sharp eye for language and layouts. She capitalizes on her extensive publishing experience and also consults appropriate reference tools to support her copyediting and proofing decisions. Kirin also has an amazing ability to rephrase scientific text to suit an audience and to unravel obscure concepts for the reader in clear, concise terms." —Douglas Tepper, Former Executive Editor, Science A–Z "Kirin has edited for me for several years. She is thorough and quick, and her editing is the best! She takes my writing and makes it even better, offering an elegance of language as well as suggestions that are spot on. On top of all that, she is very easy to work with. I recommend her highly." —Patrick Williams, EdD, Master Certified Coach, Founder of the Institute for Life Coach Training
