Overview
"I have been nothing but impressed with Kat's editorial prowess. She helped make my story the best it could be; let her do the same for you!"
A.J. Laken, BSFA nominated author of One Cog Turning with Luna Press Publishing.
I am a copy-editor, line editor and proofreader of fiction with eight years' experience working with Head of Zeus imprints, small presses, and authors on editorial assessments, line edits, copy-edits, and proofreads. My main genres are sff, historical, and crime/thriller. I like to work collaboratively with my authors to ensure nothing of their unique voice is lost in the editing process. My clients come from all over the world, and I particularly enjoy working with ESL authors and on books that have been translated from their original language into English.
Inconsistencies in the content and the syntax, sentences that bump rather than flow, words that bounce the reader out of your carefully crafted world... it's not all about spelling, typos, and grammar. I love putting all my skill and experience into helping you polish your story so that it shines.
I live in the beautiful Scottish countryside with my crazy dog and my not-as-sophisticated-as-they-think-they-are cats.
"Kat is one of our strongest editorial team members. She is thorough and efficient in her method."
Luna Press Publishing, small press.
"The edit was brilliant and picked up on all those things that slip past you when you become totally embroiled in your own work. The formatting skills and consistency you brought to the process will make for a sharper, punchier novel. Oh and thanks for the advice on genre and pace."
Brian Ledsom, author of Back of Beyond.
