Meet the Editor

Meet the Editor

Hi, I'm Kayleigh! I taught myself how to read at the age of three, and it has been my favorite pastime since. I have always valued the incredible and invaluable work authors do in bringing their stories to life and sharing them with us all. I'm committed to collaborating directly with authors to ensure their stories flow exactly as intended. This is YOUR book, and I am passionate about providing detail-oriented edits that do not significantly alter or erase the story you've worked so hard to create. I want nothing more than to help you succeed in your publishing journey. Your story deserves to be read! Let's make it happen together!

Testimonials

"I had the fantastic opportunity to work with Kayleigh as my copy editor on my debut novel. I cannot recommend her enough. From our first conversation, Kayleigh was easy to chat with and sailed a smooth ship. She's incredibly responsive to my questions, homed in on my specific areas of concern when editing, and provided valuable feedback throughout the editing process. I greatly appreciated her high levels of communication. She kept me updated on progress with the manuscript, so I was never left wondering if she'd started or when she'd finish. Not only is Kayleigh's editing accurate, but she also offered insightful suggestions that went above and beyond standard copy editing. Her recommendations were always welcomed and added value to my work. If you're looking for a skilled editor to help you at any phase of the process, I cannot recommend Kayleigh enough! She's friendly, responsive, and genuinely invested in your project. She's the perfect choice."

- M.A. Lakewood, The Reluctant Queen

"All I can say is WOW! Kayleigh was so professional and helpful with her suggestions and edits! I paid quite a bit for another editing service before this and was surprised by how many things there was still to fix, but Kayleigh was so thorough and really helped me to polish my project up. And so quick too! I cannot recommend her enough and will absolutely be back when I have my next book ready to be edited. If you are looking for someone who is reliable and good at her job, I encourage you to consider Kayleigh! Thank you again for such an amazing job!"

- Brystal Battle, kingdom of solitude

"Kayleigh's professionalism and sweet demeanor shone through as she shared her expertise in providing remarks and suggestions for editing my book. Her approachability and speed made the entire editing process feel comfortable and stress-free. She communicated the necessary corrections without undermining my writing capability, leaving me eager to collaborate with her again soon. I highly recommend her services!"

- Eastcoast Pinay, Keep Bleeding Love

"As an author, it is important that I find an editor that gets my writing. Kayleigh is that kind of editor. She was hired to do a proof, and she went above and beyond. She addressed the issues she was hired to address, but she also provided helpful questions and feedback about my writing, which took the book to the next level. She did this by pointing out a better way of saying something and bringing items to my attention that I didn't even realize together, eliminating duplication and repetition. It was like a mix of line editing and proofreading.I write pretty spicy romance novels and while Kayleigh is a fantasy enthusiast, she certainly understands my genre as well. She was also very thorough and fast, yet accurate. Highly recommend her as I will be hiring her again myself!"

- Alexandra Shaw, Love Beyond the Game

Services

FREE Sample Edit

On the fence about my services? It's important to me that you find the best editor for you and your story! I will edit the first chapter of your book (up to 3,000 words) totally FREE as a sample, so you can get a feel for my editing style before making any commitments. If my style isn't for you, you're off the hook!

Proofreading

If your novel has already been through major edits and just needs some fine-tuning before publishing, my proofreading service is perfect for you! I will comb through your book to correct any minor errors in spelling, grammar, punctuation, and formatting. Let's make sure none of those pesky typos make it to print!

Copy Editing Package

If you've finished your book, but you're not sure if you've placed commas correctly or if your formatting matches industry recommendations, my copy editing services are the right fit for you! During a copy edit, I will meticulously read through your book, line by line, looking for any inconsistencies in formatting. I will correct spelling and grammar errors and may suggest some minor re-words in areas that are repetitive or do not flow well. I will ensure that your format meets industry standards and adheres to a style guide. After you review the edits I suggest, I will do one last review of your manuscript to finalize everything and ensure that all the changes look amazing!

Line Editing Package

Does your book need a little more TLC before it's ready to publish? I've got your back! My line editing package includes the same services as my copy editing package, but for books that need a greater focus on re-wording for clarity and flow. I will meticulously scan your book, line by line, suggesting re-words for any redundant or choppy sentences. I will correct spelling, grammar, formatting, and punctuation errors, and will address any inconsistencies in the tense of your story. After initial edits are complete and you've reviewed them, I will include up to two final revisions of your manuscript to make sure it looks flawless!
