Katy Light – Editor

I am passionate about mentoring writers, both new and experienced, and helping them refine their manuscripts through the entire creative process. This includes initial idea creation, chapter outlines, plotting, and character and story arcs. I then assist the writer with developmental, copy, and line editing. I am happy to step in at any point in your creative process and help you make sure that your book is the very best that it can be.

My real-world experience as an editor across a wide variety of formats is built upon the solid foundation education I received during my Master's degree in Creative Writing from the University of East Anglia, UK.

Many of the writers I have worked with have created long, ongoing series, and I can help you craft a story arc that will maximize your reader engagement and read through. However, I am equally happy working with you on a stand out standalone!

Books I have worked on have been Amazon bestsellers in highly competitive categories and genres, and I enjoy helping authors attain these goals that seem so far away at the beginning of the process. Clients include Boyd Craven III, Boyd Craven Jr., Keven Craven, David Saylor, Pete Robertucci, Mark Loren, and many more.

While post apocalyptic, dystopian, and disaster fiction represents the bulk of my client base, there is often significant crossover into military thriller, christian fiction, and / or sci fi.

In 2023 I founded a successful independent publishing company specializing in apocalyptic, post-apocalyptic, and dystopian fiction, and I am currently working on a new YA dystopian series of my own.
