Katie O'Brien – Editor

I'm an experienced editor offering services in copyediting, proofreading, and developmental work for nonfiction and fiction works.

Overview

I'm an experienced editor offering services in copyediting, proofreading, and developmental work. My specialty is in academic developmental work, but I am adept at fiction and nonfiction copyediting and proofreading. As an acquisitions editor, I worked with authors from idea conception to finished manuscript. I view my relationships with authors as a partnership, and I enjoy working with them to reach their target audience.
