Christina Walker – Editor

Voracious fantasy reader turned developmental and copy editor of 10 yrs. Let's hook your readers with perfect phrases and powerful plots!

Overview

***2025 SCHEDULE UPDATE:***

From March to August 2025, I am only available for short (under 40,000 words) or quick (proofreading, picture books, etc) projects. From September onward, my schedule is open for projects of all lengths and types. Please let me know if you're willing to schedule that far ahead!


I am a freelance editor with a Bachelor's degree in English, emphasis in Creative Writing. I worked in a variety of professional writing and editing roles before opening my freelance fiction editing business. All this experience has given me a keen eye for detail, readability, and flow to keep readers hooked and turning pages.


My favorite genres to edit include:


🧛 urban fantasy

🔮 other flavors of fantasy (including epic fantasy and young adult fantasy)

💘 paranormal romance

🧟‍♀️ dystopian

😇 paranormal women's fiction


I excel at fine-tuning your

⚔️ action scenes,

💬 dialogue,

🧙‍♂️ magic systems, and

🐉 supernatural creatures.


I love helping authors find the perfect turn of phrase, craft a powerful plot, and polish their story until it practically shines. My goal is to not only make your manuscript as error-free as possible, but also help you produce the highest quality writing you can.


As a mom, I'd also love to edit picture books. I've read thousands with my family, so I'm certain I can help you make a great picture book that captivates little imaginations and pleases parents, too!


Want to turn your story idea into a work of art readers will rave about? I've got your back!

Supernatural Editing

Jan, 2014 — Present
I offer proofreading, copy editing, and developmental editing to ensure accuracy, clarity, and consistency as well as plot, scene, and character development. I strive to maintain my clients' author voice and style while elevating their writing to the next level. I also provide detailed feedback on ways to increase readability.

Overstock.com

Jun, 2010 — May, 2011 (12 months)
As the Assistant Editor, I made sure my team's content used a professional yet friendly voice, proper mechanics, and SEO best practices. Employees in other departments often asked me to proofread their responses to customer inquiries as well.

Utah State University Press

Jan, 2009 — Aug, 2009 (8 months)
As the editorial intern, I proofread 8 manuscripts and compared versions to ensure that changes had been implemented correctly. I became proficient with the Chicago Manual of Style and perfected my use of editing marks. I also line edited one manuscript to improve clarity, organization, and logic.

Utah State University: Writing Fellows Program

Aug, 2008 — May, 2010 (almost 2 years)
As a writing tutor, I proofread student papers for correct punctuation and grammar, as well as offered suggestions for improving the clarity, organization, and logic of the writing.
