My job is to recognize, respect, and amplify your unique voice to make your work shine in the slush pile.

I OFFER:
✍️ Developmental Editing
✍️ Line Editing
✍️ Copyediting
✍️ Proofreading
✍️ Beta Reading
✍️ Plot Reviews
✍️ Book Blurbs & Author Bios
✍️ Editorial Assessments & Critiques
✍️ Plot Outline Assistance & Creation

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ "Kristian did an amazing job, delivering more than I expected.... For the biggest problem areas, she provided a very detailed solution that could be implemented. I will definitely be back!"

WHAT I BRING TO THE TABLE:
✔️ An unmatched knowledge of genre conventions and tropes in science fiction, fantasy, horror, mystery, and romance.
✔️ Detailed editorial assessments and critiques that point out every area where your writing has room to grow — and offer strategies to help you get there.
✔️ Comments that go above and beyond to teach you what you need to know to produce cleaner drafts every time.
✔️ Intimate familiarity with the Chicago Manual of Style, MLA 9, and the AP Stylebook.
✔️ Unparalleled experience professionally blurbing, reviewing, writing, and editing fiction.
✔️ Award nominations and wins for fiction, poetry, and teaching/advising.
✔️ A deep appreciation for the hard work involved on both sides of the slush pile.

I find the plot holes, structural issues, sentence-level errors, and punctuation mishaps that distract readers, agents, and acquiring editors from understanding and appreciating your protagonist's journey.

YOU SHOULD HIRE ME IF YOU...
🤝 ... just finished your first manuscript and don't know where to go from here.
🤝 ... received a plot outline from a ghostwriter and want to know if it's any good.
🤝 ... aren't sure what genre(s) and subgenre(s) best fit your work.
🤝 ... have a genre-bending project that needs a second pair of eyes.
🤝 ... read a review that made you reconsider writing as a hobby or career.
🤝 ... haven't written in a long time and want an unbiased critique of your work.
🤝 ... need help with macro-level tasks, such as plotting a series, developing strong characters, writing convincing dialogue, etc.
🤝 ... want to develop a style sheet to ensure consistency across multiple writers, editors, and books.
🤝 ... speak English as a second language and want a copy editor to double-check your work.
🤝 ... composed your query letter and need a final review of your manuscript to make sure all the t's are crossed and i's are dotted.
🤝 ... don't know the difference between proofreading and beta reading, but are certain your book needs a doctor TODAY.

Editing is a collaborative process, and I look forward to working with you to bring out the best in your fiction.

WE WON'T BE A GOOD FIT IF YOU...
❌ ... have a screenplay, poetry chapbook, or work of nonfiction that needs assessment.
❌ ... are looking for someone to write your academic essay or circumvent plagiarism detectors for you.
❌ ... use AI writing and editing tools to create a product.
❌ ... want someone to tell you only what you want to hear.
❌ ... aren't interested in constructive criticism.
