Untangle your writing!

I’m Kellie, and I help writers find their way from idea to book.

Find coaching, editing, and guidance on the writer's path and reach your publishing goals.

Does this sound like you?

Writing flows when the vision is fresh, but it’s easy to get stuck in the messy middle of a project. 

  • Maybe you’ve lost perspective on your writing. (Yikes, is this any good at all?)

  • Maybe you feel overwhelmed by the work ahead. 

  • Maybe you’re uncertain about best practices for language. 

  • Maybe you’re mostly done but circling, unsure of how to stick the landing.

I can get you moving again with editorial services tailored to your process and project. And if you’re writing to support a business of your own, I can partner with you to provide publishing expertise.

With ten years of in-house experience and another decade-plus of freelancing for trade and academic presses, I deliver accurate, on-schedule developmental and copy edits with close adherence to house style, thoughtful queries, professional style sheets, and positive author communications.

What Clients Are Saying

“Clarity and attention to detail is what you hope for in a good editor. Kellie is all that and more: she not only heard but affirmed my voice and honored my story. She helped bring my vision of my first book to life. Her humor and grace as we worked together were always a joy. I am so grateful that I found her and highly recommend her editing and project managing.”
