A Range of Services at Competitive Prices My name is Katie Yee, and I’m a professional freelance book editor. I'm glad you've found your way to my little corner of the editing world. You will find me encouraging, easy to work with, reliable, and trustworthy. I have worked with authors from many backgrounds on a variety of projects, but I especially love the opportunity to work with Christian authors on faith-based projects. My first step is getting to know an author and their unique inspiration for writing. Then I join with them to make their writing clear and compelling. My projects have varied in size from 300 to 170,000 words. Whether I’m working with experienced, best-selling authors or first-time authors, I love helping people get their manuscript just right before sending it out into the world. I am a proud member of The Christian PEN: Proofreaders and Editors Network and the Christian Editor Connection. I provide a full range of professional editing services and can help you determine the next step for your manuscript. Honoring your vision and unique voice is always my priority. I am flexible and can adapt my editing to your specific needs and budget. Are you: • a novelist looking to make sure your plot is sound and your characters are fully developed? • a first-time writer unsure about the next step for your manuscript? • writing an opinion piece for your local newspaper? • a blogger? • finally starting that memoir your kids have always urged you to write? • finding that your website verbiage needs a once-over? • working on a book or e-book with a message you know will impact others? I would love to work with you! Katie Yee Blue Jay Editing Services Editing rates are an estimate and will be finalized after a brief complimentary review of your manuscript: - Developmental Editing Service (analyzing the overall organization, strength, and effectiveness; examining the "bones" of the book) - Line Editing / Heavy Copyediting Service (focusing at the paragraph and sentence level on clarity and flow) - Proofreading / Light Copyediting Service (combing through a highly developed text correcting errors of grammar, spelling, syntax, etc.) - Mini Developmental Editing Service (reading a manuscript and writing a letter with general observations and suggestions for how to proceed)

Have you written a novel or short story and are unsure if the story is complete? What about your characters--are they fully developed? Will your conflicts keep the tension high and keep your readers turning pages? If you're not sure, let's talk about a developmental edit. Have you written a nonfiction book or article but are unsure if the whole thing makes sense from start to finish? Are your ideas fully fleshed out, or are there gaps that your readers may fall into? Let's talk about your content and your organization. Have you written something--book-length or not, fiction or nonfiction--and you're confident about the big-picture elements but you're not sure if your writing style is strong enough for publication yet? Do you think your work could use some help at the sentence and paragraph level? Let's talk about a line edit. Are you "this close" to publication but you want another set of eyes on your work, just to ensure there are no typos, grammar mistakes, or missing words? Let's talk about proofreading. Since 2011, I've been helping my clients polish their writing, and I'd love to talk to you about yours. Prior to freelancing, I taught high school and middle school English and spent many years as a newspaper reporter and editor. I've got the experience and the education to help you. I know grammar rules backwards and forwards, as well as both the Chicago Manual of Style and AP style, and I have no problem meeting deadlines. Your manuscript, paper, article, or email will shine when I'm finished with it. I welcome your questions and am looking forward to learning more about your project!

I am a trained historian and an expert copy editor and proofreader, with proven skills in making any text more readable, free of errors, and ready for publication in print or online. I work easily with text of all varieties, including auto-generated, but I specialize in scholarly nonfiction, having edited articles, books, and blogs professionally, for an academic journal and as a personal book editor, for over a decade. I offer: ⭐ WRITING GUIDANCE / I can assist you at any—or every—step of your productive process, whether you are just starting out or have a nearly completed draft. From helping you break through writer's block to discussing how to enhance the organization of your manuscript, I can help you mentally and editorially through the difficult process of constructing and completing a document. ⭐ LINE-BY-LINE EDITING / Let me follow your lead in optimizing your manuscript's power and style. I will clarify your views, demonstrate how to strengthen the impact of your prose and visual elements, and ensure that the guidelines of your form of work are met. I will standardize your text according to the most-used manuals of style or your own personal style guide. I am comfortable with CMS, MLA, APA, and AP style manuals, but I am also familiar with the importance of checking publishers' house styles to ensure conformity of your project. ⭐ COPY EDITING / If you are seeking to have the last corrections to your manuscript made—giving it that final sense of polish in style, grammar, and citations, let me help. I will move quickly and with a sure hand to make timely and professional changes that increase the strength and appeal of your argument(s) while rendering your work grammatically impeccable. ⭐ PROOFREADING / When almost everything about your manuscript is in place, I can perform the final, necessary step prior to putting your work before the public. I correct all grammar, typographical, syntactical, and citation errors, giving my meticulous attention to ensuring consistency of usage across all sections of your manuscript. I can also provide a human touch to enhance AI-generated writing. ⭐ Perhaps my most crucial skill is that I listen. I’ll work with you to craft your ideas and your voice into all you want and need it to be. Whatever your project—large or small, on paper or online—I can guide your thinking, help structure your piece, and will be your last line of defense against errors and inconsistencies.

I've been a writer since I knew how to form words on paper. I started with picture books about octopi in shoe stores, and my ambition grew with age. I completed two novels in high school. Throughout college, I wrote various book reviews and articles, several of which were published. I wrote poetry that was published in the university's journal, and I continued to write various stories and poems for classes. I worked in the university library for 2 years and learned many valuable research skills. I was also hired by a former history professor at the school to type up a book he'd written, editing grammar and typos as I went. Both of these jobs helped me learn a strong attention to detail and how to help others accomplish their goals through my communication skills. After college, I completed a transition to teaching program and have since worked as a high school English teacher for nearly 2 years. I've learned how people learn, I've learned about the struggles that many children in the inner city face, I've learned about the struggles of our current educational system, and I've learned about the difficulties of communicating across cultural and socioeconomic barriers. It's a challenge, but when it happens effectively, it's beautiful. I have a passion for communicating clearly and helping people to understand the world, their own minds, and the people around them. I will work to use my writing abilities to make this happen to the very best of my abilities.

My copyediting experience includes The Chicago Manual of Style, The Associated Press Stylebook, and house style guides. When it comes to substantive (content) editing, I am well-versed in both fiction and non-fiction, though genre certainly affects my fit for the job (no erotica, please). I have special expertise in Christian fiction and nonfiction, and have worked for publishers such as Tyndale House, Mountain Brook Ink, and Lighthouse Publishing of the Carolinas. I've also written articles for Salem Media. I enjoy working with aspiring authors, and I'm a patient and clear communicator with my clients.

I am a freelance writer and editor with 10 years of experience especially working in the online sphere, as well as in books, print articles, and more. I have a bachelor’s degree in astronomy and astrophysics (IUB) and a master’s degree in English (UofL). My past and current clients include major companies, small marketing firms, published authors, and medical institutions. While I’ve worked in many genres, for the past several years my work has focused on helping teams create long-form content that is SEO friendly, speaks to its audience, ranks well, and converts. The content that I write professionally is factual and data driven. As an editor, I can work in a silo to improve content. But I’ve had success working with teams of writers, helping them to find their voice in an article as they create its narrative. I help them create clean copy that is well researched, properly formatted, and logically sound, and I also explain the work we put into a piece so that the writer's content can improve with time.

English teacher by day, writer and editor of your content by night! I love to read and help people make their writing even better. If you need the eye and the red pen of an English teacher, I'm your guy. I have many interests including plants, video games, RPGs, language learning, cats, dogs, conservation, and more. Ever gotten an email from an angry parent? I have, so I guarantee you I can communicate faster than you can say "I want to talk to your principal!"

📖 Editor | Storyteller | Literary Advocate | Photographer With an MA in English and Creative Writing, I am passionate about the power of storytelling—whether through literature, editing, photography, or collaborative writing. As an aspiring book editor, I thrive on helping writers refine their voices, strengthen their narratives, and bring their stories to life. I also hold a BA in Photography and work as a professional freelance photographer, specializing in portrait and fine art photography. My work explores visual storytelling, capturing emotions and narratives through composition, light, and texture. This artistic perspective enriches my editorial approach, allowing me to engage with stories from both a literary and visual lens. My experience spans editing, literary analysis, and in-depth storytelling critique. With a keen eye for detail, I help shape manuscripts into their strongest form, ensuring clarity, coherence, and emotional resonance. My background in early childhood education—working in preschool and elementary schools—has also honed my ability to communicate complex ideas with clarity and empathy, skills I bring to every editorial project. Beyond book editing, I am also interested in proofreading, copywriting, and content writing. Whether refining narratives, crafting compelling content, or ensuring polished and engaging prose, I am committed to producing high-quality work that captivates readers. With a deep love of literature and a dedication to fostering creativity, I am eager to collaborate with authors, publishers, and fellow literary professionals. Whether through editing manuscripts, refining narratives, or offering insightful critiques, my goal is to inspire and elevate the art of storytelling. Let’s connect! I’m always open to discussing opportunities in editing, publishing, content creation, photography, and the literary world.
