Portfolio
Kaitlyn is a pleasure to work with. She enjoys what she does, and this shows in her general communication and in the final, detailed report and in-text comments. Kaitlyn was able to pin-point salient points to improve my third novel, a thriller, and not only that, she reliably kept me informed of her progress and met the deadline. She is a trustworthy professional I will certainly be contacting again for future projects.

Kaitlyn’s able to look at a manuscript from everyone's point of view​ within the publishing sector; the agent, the editor, the reader, and, most importantly, the writer. She’s able to satisfy everyone’s needs by mixing all these different perspectives and finding “common ground” solutions to the problems in manuscripts.

Working with Kaitlyn was a great decision. Her comments were on point and really thorough. My manuscript was quite long but she took the time to read it from beginning to end and went through each part carefully. She really helped me see what worked and what didn't work in my story and even offered possible solutions to improve my work. Even when criticizing something, she remained respectful and professional. Also, it was easy to communicate with her, to ask questions or to explain to her my concerns about my manuscript.  I'm really glad to have partnered with her and if I ever need help with my story, I would not hesitate to contact her once again.

One word that encapsulates Kaitlyn’s editing expertise is  ‘Outstanding!’ 
I sent her a manuscript of my poetry collection to edit and she provided me with a thorough text edit, going through each poem line by line and stanza by stanza. She raised excellent questions and offered helpful ideas about how to improve the content, rhyme and rhythm of the poetry. The critical analysis was of a top level and her grasp of literary tools regarding poetry writing impressed me greatly. In addition, she also provided a detailed report that was positive and balanced with excellent constructive ideas for each poem and comprehensive advice about a range of issues from the title of the book to the ordering and thematic organization of the collection.
Kaitlyn’s professionalism and the personal service she provided were impressive. She kept me updated regularly and the detail, care and attention she gave me and my work was the best.
I would not hesitate to use her again for future projects.

FAQ

Q: Will you only edit horror content?
A: No! I'll edit any genre! Horror is certainly my specialty and I'd say I know the most about it versus other genres, but that's not to say that my work in non-horror manuscripts would be subpar. I'm open to accepting all fiction manuscripts, movie and TV scripts, graphic novel scripts, and poetry collections. 
I'll copy or line edit anything at all.

Q: Are you willing to meet writers in person or communicate over the phone?
A: Absolutely! Just send me an email first and we can work out the details of our communication and see what works best for us as a team.
