Katrina Diaz-Arnold – Editor

Hello! I’m an experienced developmental and line editor with over ten years of professional publishing experience, and I love helping authors refine their manuscripts into the strongest, most vibrant versions of themselves.

I previously worked as part of the editorial team at Scribner, an imprint of Simon & Schuster, before founding my own editorial services company. Over the course of my career, I’ve had the privilege of working with numerous New York Times and Sunday Times bestselling authors, from debut writers to established voices, across both traditional and independent publishing.

Editing, for me, is both a craft and a calling. I care deeply about the quality of the work and approach every project with respect for both the storytelling and the author behind it. I believe the strongest books emerge through careful attention to authorial intention and constructive editorial guidance. I bring that passion and focus to every project, fully invested in helping each manuscript reach its highest potential.

I have a particular love for brave new worlds, fresh twists, and strong, complex protagonists. I specialize in fantasy, romance (all subgenres), romantasy, thriller (especially espionage), suspense, dystopian and post-apocalyptic fiction, speculative fiction, and YA/NA fantasy and dystopian works.

A passionate, lifelong reader, I hold a BA in Creative Writing from Northwestern University and an MA in Shakespeare from University College London.
