Rebecca K – Editor

Helping authors breathe life into their manuscripts by polishing voice, style and flow to craft standout, submission-ready stories.

Overview

During my career so far, I have written, co-authored and edited a broad range of topics from nature and history to mental health and wellbeing for young readers. Formats I’ve worked on include illustrated non-fiction and picture books, sticker and activity books, and novelty and board formats, bringing a degree of professionalism, structure and flair to every project I approach. I also have a strong personal interest in fitness, nutrition and personal development and would love to work more on these topics.

My experience in publishing alongside my writing studies have given me an adept eye for strong, believable narrative and a good story. And I believe, whether fiction or non-fiction, these are the two most important features of good writing. I will work with you to develop not only your manuscript, but your writer’s voice.

My services include proofreading, copyediting, fact-checking, copywriting and refining voice, tone and flow to help you elevate your manuscript with confidence.
