Kalee Lineberger

Kalee Lineberger – Editor

Specializing in literary fiction, I can work in developmental, substantive, copy, and proofing stages of editing.

Overview

I am motivated by the powers of words and story-telling, for just as music inspires with notes, writing inspires with words.

Southern-born and -raised, I have worked with regional independent publishers in all stages of editing, from developmental to proofreading. Specifically with Hub City Press I have edited the winners of the SC First Novel Prize for the past three years. Catch me on the copyright pages of such works as Ember, Whiskey & Ribbons, The Wooden King, and, more recently, The Prettiest Star.

Even though I might throw in some punctuation variety (I love a well placed em dash), I think author voice is the most important part of writing.

Not only was she was able to accommodate me, she even finished ahead of schedule! Kalee was extremely thorough, finding many errors that had slipped through the ...

I had a great experience with Kalee and Reedsy - the first time I have used it. Kalee was very prompt in answering my request for copyediting services and her price was very reasonable. She kept me informed on her progress and finished a few days early. I'm very pleased with her work. It has vast...
