Summary

Welcome to my Book Editing Services!

With over years of editing experience, one thing rings true with every author I work with: your story deserves to be told.

I help authors like you take their manuscripts from good enough to unputdownable. Through line editing, copyediting, and proofreading, I focus on grammar and refine your voice through flow/pacing, feedback, and improved sentence structure. My technical precision will balance your creative intuition, so your words delivering a polished, professional read with feeling.

What makes my approach different? I don’t focus on “fixing mistakes”. I collaborate with you to elevate your voice, polish your story, and maintain your style to ensure your message connects with readers the way you intended. Whether you're revising your first draft or almost ready for publication, I'm here to provide clear feedback, actionable suggestions, and edits that respect your voice and help readers remember your story.

Here's my process:

🗣 Consultation —— We can schedule a call to make sure we're on the same page about what you're looking to accomplish with your manuscript and learn how we can elevate your voice and reach your readers with you unique story.

📚 Line By Line Edits —— To take your book to the next level, I have to comprehend what your story is about in the first place. I read through your manuscript and gain understanding of your characters, the reason behind your settings, why your audience would be interested in the plot. My goal is to be a reader, a fan, of your work before I go in and give you feedback for clarity that your next reader fans may not be able to share.

📄 Revision —— I am always open to your feedback and offer my clients revision(s) if segments of the book need another look. I typically revise and return your story with a different OR we can brainstorm together on a video or phone call (all included in your order).

She worked on the transcript for my book through one health crisis and two hurricanes, all while maintaining a healthy work-life balance and providing quality insights to improve my book. I think that pretty much says it all!

I would rate her work 6 (or more?) on a scale of 5. Kristina has a very open ear to listen to what's needed, brings a good share of intuition to the table, and transforms her skill into fair offers, which she then delivers on time. Sweet!

With very little direction from me, Kristina wrote a well-researched and thoughtful article based on a general prompt. It's like she got in my head and figured out exactly what I wanted. I'd definitely recommend working with Kristina. She's professional, straightforward, and communicative.
