Kate Stence – Editor

Experienced editor and copyeditor specializing in fiction and nonfiction, specifically women's, young adult and memoir.

Overview

With more than 20 years of experience as an editor and copyeditor, I would love to offer you the editorial support you need throughout the editing process. As an editorial and communications professional, I've worked on more than 300 books with publishers such as Simon & Schuster, Inc., Palgrave Macmillan, McGraw-Hill, HarperCollins Publishers, and Cambridge University Press. I've also served as an editor for high level international organizations such as UNESCO, the OECD, and the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health. In Paris, I spent many years editing and writing speeches and briefs for the Japanese government. Overall, I view the editorial process as being in a dialogue to strengthen your writing and book as a whole. I'm here to listen and support you in any way that I can to accomplish your best work. I'm positive, friendly, and focused upon hard work that is enjoyable for both of us.
