Kristin Gustafson – Editor

My love for editing comes from a love of language and a passion for helping authors. As an author and poet, I know how daunting it can be to share your work with others. That is why I am committed to offering my clients a collaborative editing experience, where I support them every step of the way.

I started editing in 2017 as the Assistant Editor of Poetry for Quiz & Quill Magazine. In that position, I helped the Poetry Editor select pieces for print. Outside the magazine, I revised and provided suggestions for countless poems, short stories, plays, and essays in my hands-on writing courses.

I started my freelance editing career in December 2018; I edited everything from blog posts to articles to poetry manuscripts. I was hired as a Marketing and Revisions Editor for New Degree Press in June 2020, where I edited over a dozen manuscripts (including poetry collections, novels, and nonfiction books).

My poetry has been published or is forthcoming in ALOCASIA, Anti-Heroin Chic, the Bitchin' Kitsch, Bullshit Lit, Cartridge Lit, Cleveland Scene Magazine, Coffee People Zine, Contemporary Verse 2, Gone Lawn, Gordon Square Review, HAD, LEVITATE Magazine, Meniscus Literary Journal, Misery Tourism, Moss Puppy Magazine, The Offing, Open Minds Quarterly, Progenitor Art & Literary Journal, The Quarter(ly), Quiz and Quill Magazine, Soliloquies Anthology, Something Involving a Mailbox!, Troublemaker Firestarter, and Y2K Magazine.
