Über mich
I’m a graduate of Brescia University College, and after completing my degree in English Language and Literature, I went on to earn an Editing Certificate through Simon Fraser University. I offer query-specific services, including query letter reviews, query and synopsis reviews, and opening chapter edits to help you stand out in the slush pile. Additionally, I offer stylistic/line edits and copy edits geared to authors who want to learn how to enhance their writing and make future editing costs lower.

KW Editing • Selbstständig

Jan 2022 - Present4 yrs 5 mos

After finishing university, I decided the best way to help authors with their books was to start my own editing business, KW Editing. I currently offer a wide range of services including line editing, copy editing, proofreading, manuscript evaluations, opening chapter edits, and query letter reviews. Before beginning a project, I ensure my clients and I are in agreement over the scope of work and the deadline. My clients answer questionnaires to help me understand their manuscript and their goals for it. Having this information allows me to tailor my suggestions to their specific problem areas. Additionally, I ensure open communication throughout the editing process. I update clients on the progress of their edit and encourage them to ask questions and seek support when needed. I work with American, Canadian, and Australian spelling and use Microsoft Word and the Chicago Manual of Style to complete edits.
