Project details

Congratulations on finishing your children's book! I know it's tough to notice mistakes in your own writing since you're so close to it. So before you publish, consider hiring a meticulous editor to fix errors. That's where I come in!

Copyediting improves the accuracy and readability of your manuscript. My goal is to maintain your distinct voice and polish your existing text. As your copyeditor, I'll:

· correct errors in spelling, punctuation, grammar, usage, & formatting
· suggest clarifying edits to sentence structure & word choice
· check for inconsistencies in the story's details

Note that my guaranteed one-day delivery applies to copyediting for books up to 2,000 words. If your work is longer, contact me directly to discuss a timeline.

Contact me directly to receive a 20% discount on books over 1,000 words!

Please see my FAQs or contact me directly if you have questions. Note that I do NOT offer critiques or developmental edits at this time. In addition, I do not use generative AI (ex. Chat GPT) to edit.

I'm a mom of two littles, and I read a dozen children's books a day. I just love kidlit, and I look forward to helping you make yours shine!

About Krista

Krista Z.
Copyeditor | Proofreader
Sun Prairie, United States - 5:59 pm local time
I’m a sentence-level editor specializing in children’s books and academic writing. As both a writer and a former college English instructor, I understand how challenging it can be for authors to edit and proofread their own writing. Let me help! My goal is to improve the accuracy and readability of your manuscript, making it clean and ready to publish.

• I’ll ensure that your writing is clear, consistent, and correct without suppressing your voice
• I’m well-versed in APA and Chicago style guides
• I communicate respectfully and respond to messages quickly
• I hold an MA and a BA in English as well as a certificate in editing, and I'm a member of the Editorial Freelancers Association
• I don’t use generative AI (ex. Chat GPT). All of my edits are performed manually.

Send me a message! I'd be glad to discuss your next project.
