Overview
Are you a writer looking to get your story to the next step? I'd love to collaborate! I've been in children's publishing since 2014, and have worked on over 150 books, with experience editing and proofreading picture books through YA.
At this time, I am prioritizing copyedits, proofreads, and query letter edits. I am only taking on a limited number of editorial assessments and developmental edits.

"Kait is a fabulous editor. She’s insightful, open-hearted, and attentive as she polishes a manuscript’s overall theme and story-arc and as she considers each word choice. All the while, she keeps the kid-readers front and center, honoring their emotions (and senses of humor!). I was introduced to Kait when my previous editor left, and as a super worrywart I was nervous to be reassigned editors—but my agent reassured me Kait was a gem in the industry. Yep, soon I learned, I’d won the lottery. "
— Jean Reagan, author of TURBO'S SPECIAL DELIVERY and the NY Times bestselling HOW TO BABYSIT series
“Kait was my first editor and she set an incredibly high bar. Working with Kait has been a transformative experience for me. She has brillant taste, a keen eye for details and an incredible ability to connect with the essence of a story. Her editorial feedback was both insightful and constructive, pushing the humor and perfecting its pacing, bringing out the best in my story while preserving its authenticity. Kait's dedication to cultivating a positive and collaborative editing process made my experience immensely enjoyable and rewarding too. Her funny, warm and encouraging demeanor created an environment where I felt heard and valued. She is a fierce champion for all of her authors and illustrators, and her unwavering passion for children’s literature is inspiring. If you're searching for someone who possesses the rare alchemy of skill, passion, humor, and empathy, look no further.”
— Isabella Kung, author of the NO FUZZBALL! series
