Eunice Kim

Eunice Kim – Editor

Experienced editorial consultant and publishing professional, specializing in query materials review across all age groups and genres.

Overview

I'm an editorial consultant and publishing professional with a wide breadth of experience, ranging from a big 5 publisher (Simon & Schuster), a children’s catalog/collection development service (Junior Library Guild), and a serialized fiction storytelling app (Radish Fiction). I specialize in query materials evaluation, editorial assessment/manuscript evaluation. Under my guidance, past clients have garnered a cumulative total of 37 individual offers of representation and over 100+ full requests so far!

My editorial style is focused first and foremost on a collaborative, detail-orientated approach which is personally tailored to each individual client's needs, since I wholeheartedly believe the best editorial work between a writer and editor is a result of genuine collaboration, along with mutual understanding and respect of a writer's editorial vision.

Testimonials:

“I got my first offer of representation a mere 16 hours after I sent out my first batch of queries, received 18 full requests and signed with my dream agent, following 3 offers of representation. Eunice is simply the BEST. If you choose to work with her, you will not regret it.”

– Katie Wu, author of MADDER LAKE

“Eunice’s industry expertise guided me through the query trenches and out the other side, with 9 full requests and 5 offers of representation!”

– Lynn D. Jung, author of MOTHSBLOOD

“Eunice has got the magic touch when it comes to query letters. I sent out 38 queries, got 15 full requests and 2 offers of representation! None of that would have been possible without her expertise and whip-smart skills!”

– Alina Khawaja, author of MAYA’S LAWS OF LOVE and WRITING MR. RIGHT

“Eunice’s edits on my query helped me get it into brilliant shape. It received 15 full requests in short order, and I got to pick from 4 excellent offers to find my fabulous agent.”

– Damyanti Biswas, Amazon-bestselling author of the BLUE MUMBAI series

“Eunice helped me craft an outstanding query letter that led to an approximately 50% full request rate, my first offer of representation just one week into the query trenches, and 7 offers of representation total!”

– Katie Zhao, bestselling author of THE DRAGON WARRIOR, along with LAST GAMER STANDING, and HOW WE FALL APART

“Eunice has such a keen eye for clarity and word choice to enhance the excitement of the pitch and really get the attention of agents. I had the wonderfully surreal experience of receiving over 10 full requests and 5 offers of representation! I signed with my amazing agent a little over a month after I started querying, and wholeheartedly recommend Eunice’s services!”

– Anela Deen, agented writer of YA SFF fiction

“There are few out there who can do what Eunice does. I was truly blown away by her expertise and how she was able to turn my very average query letter into the highly-polished finished product. With her support, I received 9 full requests and 3 offers of representation in under three months!”

– Stephanie Kim Johnson, agented writer of MG & YA fiction
