I will expertly edit your novel
Expert, published editor
Sobre este Serviço
I've been a professional line editor, copyeditor, and proofreader for 35 years. I've worked for publishers, self-publishing authors, and corporations. My clients appreciate that I'm fast, honest, meticulous and easy to work with.
Editing is both my profession and my passion. My expertise lies in:
- Copy editing and line editing to make sure language is clear, concise, consistent, and correct
- Developmental editing for story flow and character development
- Ensuring that your message, voice, and tone come through to the reader
- Perfecting grammar, spelling, punctuation, and syntax
- Formatting manuscripts per Chicago Manual of Style
- Fact-checking
- Creating ebook files
- Prepping manuscripts for typesetting
- Creating style sheets and developmental memos
I will work with you on any size manuscript and in just about any genre. I use a price-per-word formula, which means you know up front what the cost will be, no matter how many rounds it takes to get your manuscript ready for publication.
Note about pricing: Fiverr requires a price in the template. The actual price is a flat fee based on your manuscript's word count.

Perguntas frequentes
What is your editing background?
I have a degree in English literature from the University of Washington and two Certificates in Editing from the University of Washington. And I've been a corporate editor for a large organization for 33 years. I've been doing freelance editing since 2011.
How many books have you edited?
111 non-fiction books 99 novels 62 professional exam study guides 59 memoirs 36 essays 8 short stories
How long does the editing take?
That depends on how long your manuscript is and how much work it needs. I work seven days a week and don't take on more than three or four projects at a time so that I can dedicate time and attention to your project daily.
Will you change my voice or style?
Absolutely not! Your voice and style are a vital part of your story.
What style guide do you use?
I follow the Chicago Manual of Style.
What is the difference between editing and proofreading?
I do fix typos and other errors when I'm editing. But proofreading is a separate step that's done AFTER editing. Ideally, it happens when art files are ready for production so that the proofreader can also look for typesetting errors. The author and the editor DO miss mistakes. It's unavoidable.
Do you format the manuscript too?
I can create an ebook file for posting on all the major platforms and a PDF for a print-on-demand paperback. But some books call for a typesetter. That's a graphic design job.
How do you formulate the cost for your work?
I have a per-word price that I apply to the entire manuscript size.
Can you show me samples of your work?
Editing work belongs to my clients, so I don't share their intellectual property. However, you can read reviews of my work in my Gig Gallery, which include author names and book titles.
Will you do a sample edit?
That's often a great idea before work begins. A two- or three-page sample edit allows me to better assess the time that will be needed and lets both of us decide if the editing is a good fit for the project.

Working with Kristy has been a dream come true, especially for a first time author. She is very professional and thorough and is easy to commercialize with and is very good about returning any messages. Honestly if I write another book I would love to be able to have her edit it. This is an easy five star review.
