Catherine Hillin – Editor

Extremely thorough editor, illustrator, cover designer, and self-publishing expert

Overview

15+ years in publishing have taught me everything I need to know to help you with your book - whether it be developmental editing, proofreading, cover design, illustrations, book formatting, InDesign, or getting it onto KDP or IngramSpark.

Many more years of nerdery have taught me how to spot logical or historical fallacies in work across a broad variety of subjects. Specializing in: Renaissance Europe, European castles, modern medicine, historical medicine, psychology and psychological development.

Previous customers have described me as extremely thorough and incredibly helpful in fixing plot holes or awkward spots.

If you need a jack-of-all-trades, little-bit-of-everything editor/designer/illustrator/PR/social media manager, I'm who you want.
