Overview
Wow, thanks for reading this far! Now let me tell you about myself: I am a freelance editor and writer with 5+ years experience in professional editing for fiction, non-fiction, and academic writing. I specialize in developmental editing and top-level feedback, helping authors unlock their narrative and connect with readers in a powerful, authentic voice. I am passionate about the craft of writing, and in my work I focus deeply on storytelling mechanics to correct the issues that can stall a book or make it fall flat.
On the commercial side, I have worked with USA Today Bestsellers, Amazon Bestsellers, and award-winning self-published authors to get their best work out in the world. On the professional side, I have worked with University of Cornell Press, Brookings Institution, UN Develoment Programme, USAID, and the US Institute of Peace to perfect their publications.
I have over 700 5-star reviews for my work. Here are a few recent comments:
"I don’t think you could ask for a better editor. He exceeded my expectations on our first interaction and has never failed to deliver the same high quality editing and guidance in our many interactions since. I honestly can’t thank him enough for his dedication to my work." – Paul V.D.
"It's been a great pleasure of mine working with Keith (for the 4th time). He's been immensely helpful with editing my piece and pointing out places where the things should be tightened up. Keith is a real pro and a great communicator. Highly recommend his services to anyone, who needs professional help with editing and storytelling!" Nick G.
"I've paid other editors a heck-of-a-lot more and didn't receive the quality that Keith delivered. Not only did he deliver a copy and line edit, but he also made formatting corrections and asked insightful questions regarding my content. He is now my go-to guy!" - Valerie A.
"You will be hard pressed to find a better value at the price and convenience. Keith delivered a week before promised and his recommendations were always on point. He also went above and beyond to clarify a few things, so I ended up learning a lot with him. Looking forward to working with him." – Christian N.
"This was absolutely excellent experience from beginning to end. I felt a little humbled by the number of improvements suggested, and genuinely learned a lot from going through the suggestions. My writing is now more clear and more readable." – Simon C.
