Mira Kennedy – Editor

If you're looking for a quick, yet thorough and thoughtful proofreader, you've come to the right person. I have been proofreading and copyediting in some capacity since 2016 (and catching sneaky errors in my leisure reading for much longer).

Some of my earliest professional experience involved proofreading highly technical and/or academic text, and though I often found the work I was reading to be boring, that actually proved to be the most valuable training I could have gotten—it forced me to focus on the minutiae rather than getting swept up in the story. I also got a lot of exposure to citation styles and to the Chicago Manual of Style, a skill I maintained as I moved into full-time publishing work.

I spent almost six years at Charlesbridge, a children's publisher, and spent four of those years proofreading every book that went out to print up until the end of my time there in June, 2025. Because of this, I consider my specialty to be children's fiction and nonfiction. But I'm happy to work on a variety of genres and always leave room in my queries for genre conventions!
