Meet your new developmental editor.
Hi, I’m Katie. I’m a developmental editor and writer who has helped dozens of authors bring clarity, structure, and heart to their work. Whether you’re starting a book or revising a full draft, I’ll meet you where you are and help shape your manuscript into a strong, impactful story — with your voice always at the center.
When I’m not deep in a manuscript, you can find me around Philadelphia, working on my own novel, or reading at my favorite coffee shop.
“KATIE!!! I can’t believe how much time and work you put into reading my book! I’m overwhelmed with thankfulness! Your suggestions are so helpful and much needed. This was indeed a hard story to write and I know I need to go deeper. This book is going to be so much better because of the time you put into this edit. I can’t wait to get to work!”
Every project is unique, so pricing depends on word count, scope, and timeline. My average rate is US$0.015 per word. Before we begin, we’ll talk through your project and your goals to make sure we’re a good fit.
