About Katie
Proofreader, Editor, Writer
Chattanooga, United States - 7:42 pm local time
You know what you want to say—I just help make sure it comes across the right way. Whether you need an editor to clean up the details, a proofreader to catch what spellcheck misses, or someone to help shape your ideas into something stronger, I’ve got you covered.
I’ve worked with authors on proofreading, line editing, and beta reading, helping them refine their stories without losing their voice. I’ve helped businesses write training manuals and SOPs that people can actually understand. I’ve written blog posts, web copy, book reviews, and professional correspondence. I’ve also been a managing editor for two online literary journals, balancing big-picture storytelling with the small but important details.
I have a BA and MA in English and was awarded a residency through The Sundress Academy for the Arts (SAFTA). I also have experience with academic writing—essays, theses, college applications, all that fun stuff. But what I love most? Stories. The way words can build worlds, shift perspectives, and make people feel something.
What I Can Do for You:
✔️ Proofreading and line editing that keeps your writing clear, clean, and true to your voice
✔️ Thoughtful feedback to help strengthen your work without losing what makes it yours
✔️ Engaging, well-crafted writing tailored to your audience
✔️ A sharp editorial eye for consistency, structure, and flow
Every project is different, but my goal is always the same: to help you say what you mean in the best way possible.

Initial Setup & Manuscript Review
I'll start by reviewing your manuscript to get a sense of its structure and word count. If you have specific areas you'd like me to focus on—like pacing or character development—just let me know!
Full Manuscript Read-through
I’ll read through your manuscript carefully, chapter by chapter, so I can understand the flow of the story, the pacing, and the development of your characters. This helps me identify what’s working and where improvements can be made.
