Angela Kern – Editor

Words are my passion. One of those kids who'd point it out when the teacher misspelled a word on the blackboard, I turned that trait into a career.

It's my goal to help you find the right words to meet your needs. As someone who has guided over a dozen books from the writing stage to publication, I have the skills to take you through the process. From assessment to the final edit, you can rely on my expertise to help make your writing the best it can be.

Honest, straightforward, and to the point, I'll be clear about what works and what doesn't. I'm respectful of the hard work that goes into writing and will give you the feedback needed to help you succeed.

My editorial assessments consider the big picture and provide frank evaluations and suggestions. As a developmental editor, I'll help you focus on and refine themes, develop characters, and correct inconsistencies. As a copy editor or proofreader, I wield my metaphorical red pen ferociously, with a sharp eye for detail and extensive familiarity with the AP, APA, and Chicago style books. My bids include free Zoom meetings to touch base and review progress, if desired. I'm also available for consultations to determine what phase your book is in and what your next steps should be.

Although my background is in non-fiction and trivia, I'm comfortable editing and proofreading any subject matter. I'd love to add fiction to my resume, so don't hesitate if that's your genre.
