Hi! My name is Kaylee "Kael" Pryble and I'm a passionate editor dedicated to helping aspiring authors and writers of all varieties polish up their amazing manuscripts and documents. I have a keen eye for detail and an avid passion for reading. I excel best in manuscripts and shorter pieces of prose, however, I also have experience with technical projects and poetry. I specialize in the areas of proofreading, and line editing, however, I also have experience in technical writing and developmental editing. I have a Bachelor's Degree in English Professional Writing and Publishing from the University of Wisconsin–Whitewater. Additionally, I have a hefty amount of experience working with books and clients of all varieties, most of whom are long-term clients. I believe that there's potential and value in every single manuscript that comes my way, and I'd love to help play my part in getting amazing stories and unique voices out in the world. I would absolutely love the experience of getting to work on your next project! Thank you, and have a wonderful day!

You had a vision for your book. Somewhere between the first idea, the rough draft, the editing process, the formatting, and the final upload to Amazon KDP, that vision started slipping away. The gap between the book you imagined and the one sitting on your screen is where I come in. I partner with authors, publishers, entrepreneurs, coaches, educators, ministries, and self-publishing brands to transform rough manuscripts into polished, publication-ready books that readers enjoy, reviewers appreciate, and publishing platforms accept with confidence. If you're publishing your very first book or expanding an existing catalog, I help turn unfinished manuscripts into professionally edited, beautifully formatted, publication-ready books while protecting your voice, your message, and your vision. As a Professional Book Editor, Proofreader, Developmental Editor, Manuscript Editor, Ghostwriter, Beta Reader, Copy Editor, Line Editor, and Amazon KDP Formatting Specialist, I help fiction and nonfiction authors prepare books for Amazon KDP, Kindle Direct Publishing, IngramSpark, EPUB distribution, paperback, hardcover, and other independent publishing platforms. I work across romance, fantasy, mystery, thriller, science fiction, memoir, business, leadership, self-help, Christian books, devotionals, children's books, educational resources, journals, workbooks, and coaching materials. Every genre requires a different editorial approach, and every manuscript deserves an editing process tailored to its readers and publishing goals. I don't believe in one-size-fits-all editing. ✅A romance novel depends on emotional pacing. ✅A memoir depends on authenticity. ✅A business book depends on clarity. ✅A devotional depends on preserving its message. ✅A children's book depends on age-appropriate storytelling. Instead of applying the same editing process to every manuscript, I evaluate your goals, audience, publishing plans, and writing style to recommend the editorial workflow that delivers the strongest result. My role isn't to rewrite your voice. It's to strengthen it. From developmental editing and structural editing to line editing, copy editing, proofreading, beta reading, manuscript critique, editorial assessment, book formatting, Kindle formatting, Amazon KDP formatting, EPUB conversion, and publishing support, I help transform rough drafts into polished, publication-ready books designed to deliver a better reading experience from the first page to the last. I don't simply correct grammar. I improve readability, story flow, narrative consistency, pacing, dialogue, character development, content organization, typography, interior layout, formatting quality, and overall reader engagement while preserving the style that makes your work uniquely yours. Readers don't remember perfect grammar. They remember books they couldn't put down. That's why every editorial decision I make is focused on helping your manuscript communicate more clearly, connect more deeply, and leave a lasting impression on your audience. If your goal is Amazon KDP, Kindle Unlimited, paperback, hardcover, EPUB distribution, or independent publishing, I help prepare your manuscript to meet professional publishing standards without sacrificing your unique voice.

I’m a writer and editor with a BA in Creative Writing, Literature, and Philosophy, and an MFA in Writing. My work has been published in Talent Implied, My Favourite Apocalypse, ABC Open, and TEXT Journal, with fiction and nonfiction appearing in both Australian and international publications. I’ve worked on novels, memoirs, essays, and long-form nonfiction projects, helping authors shape ideas, refine structure, and polish language until it reads cleanly and naturally. Whether you need ghostwriting, developmental editing, or a final proofread, I bring precision, sensitivity, and attention to detail to every stage of the process. My approach is constructive and collaborative. I aim to strengthen your work without losing your voice.

Publishing on Amazon KDP can be confusing, especially when formatting issues or rejections slow things down. I help authors get past that stage. I work as an Amazon KDP publishing specialist, focusing on clean formatting, technical accuracy, and making sure books meet KDP requirements before upload. My work typically includes: Formatting for paperback, hardcover, and Kindle eBooks Correcting layout and file issues that lead to rejections Ensuring margins, gutters, trim sizes, and TOC are set correctly Light editing for clarity and consistency when needed Clear guidance through the KDP publishing process I’m methodical, detail-focused, and easy to work with. Many of my clients are first-time authors who want their book handled properly without stress or guesswork. The goal is simple: deliver a professional book that uploads smoothly and looks right to readers. If that’s what you’re looking for, I’m happy to discuss your project.

Most writers know exactly what they want to say, but on the page, their message does not always land the way they intend. As a copy editor and proofreading specialist, I bridge that gap. I read your drafts like your ideal reader, checking whether your writing truly communicates your ideas and flagging any structural issues that get in the way. Then I refine your text for clarity, grammar, coherence, and flow so your arguments are sharper, your tone is consistent, and your content is ready to publish. The other problem is more related to academics. All researchers/academics are so focused on their research projects and writing and disseminating their ideas that they do not get the time to acquire necessary skills to format their research according to standard manuals (for example, APA, Chicago, MLA, Turabian (for history), Harvard, or IEEE). While you draft your ideas, I am here to help you get through the formatting process of your research manuscripts using Latex (overleaf) and MS Word. I provide academic copy editing, which includes refining your manuscripts through developmental and line editing and then formatting them according to the standard citation manual. Moreover, I am not only an expert copy editor and academic proofreader, but I am also a specialist in proofreading and editing Statement of Purpose, Motivation Letters, Statement of Objectves, and Research Proposals for admissions in higher education institutes. Due to personal experience and helping clients (outside of upwork) I have gained hand-on experience about what admission committees look for in SOPs, Motivation Letters, or Research Proposal. In 2025, I was admitted to the University of Hawai'i at Manoa, the University of Auckland (New Zealand), and HSE St. Petersburg. If you are struggling with crafting an SOP or Motivation Letter that grabs the attention of admission committees, let me take that burden off of your shoulders. What makes me fit for copyediting or proofreading your manuscripts to refine their argument and formatting, fixing citations, and drafting/editing your SOP or proofreading your motivation letter is: I am a certified proofreader and academic editor from the University of California, with 5+ years of experience in researching and writing coupled with 3+ years in the proofreading and copy editing industry and 300+ projects completed (on and off Upwork). I transform your manuscript, thesis, research paper/proposal, Statement of Purposes, Motivation Letters with precise editing to convey your intended message to your readers. I also refine manuscripts for flawless citations and design and format them into standard academic writing manuals. Furthermore, I can edit any academic writing across disciplines, including Arts and Humanities or social sciences, philosophy, political science, and current affairs, or related fields. However, as a trained historian, I prefer to edit topics related to history. If you are struggling with any of the issues/problems mentioned above, then you are at the right place. Ready to have your academic work evaluated for feedback with my proofreading skills, or get it refined with my editing/copyediting skills? - I am a full-time researcher and a certified copy editor and proofreader from the University of California. I have worked as a Teaching Assistant for "Expository Writing 101" and have experience editing theses, research papers, and academic essays. I am also a certified LaTeX expert, coupled with MS Word-vetted skills, with 5 years of academic experience and 4 years of helping clients improve and format their manuscripts. - Send me a message, and let’s get started! I am here to get you through your hectic writing process. Cheers, Tehzeeb

I trade as Eagle Editing and am taking bookings from mid-June onwards. Send me a message with some details about your proofreading job (including a short sample if your document is over 5000 words in length) and I'll get back to you quickly! I'm based in the north east of Scotland and am an intermediate member of the Chartered Institute of Editing and Proofreading, through which I've done formal proofreading training. I specialise in non-fiction and academic proofreading and have also worked on a small amount of fiction. I've also done training on formatting Word documents for e-book publication. I don't use AI when I'm proofreading. My background is in engineering (I hold an MEng) and I've also studied leadership and management to diploma level. I worked full time in the energy industry for over 14 years so have experience working on technical documents. I have an eagle eye for detail and would love to help you elevate your writing so that it's error free, clear and consistent.
