Your story
Your voice
Polished and ready
“I don’t think the point is to make no mistakes, you know? It’s just not the point.”—Elliott Smith
The point is to focus on your art.
What I love about editing is that it allows writers to completely immerse themselves in their own process.
They hone the story, deepen the feelings, and play with the language—knowing that I’ll help tidy up the details and make it every bit as polished as other professional books.
Hi! I'm Kristin. I trained in editing at the University of Chicago.
I love helping writers feel confident putting their words out into the world, whether working with a publisher, preparing to query, or publishing independently.
My specialty is children's books, from picture books through young adult.
Middle grade is my favorite!
I also edit fiction and nonfiction for adults, and I love helping with query letters and résumés.
