WORK WITH KELLY

For me, writing and editing go hand in hand. As an editor, my role is to serve as a guide, advocate, and collaborator with authors. My primary goal is to help authors communicate their ideas with clarity, precision, and impact while ensuring that their work meets the highest standards of quality and integrity.

To achieve this, I need to be deeply familiar with the author’s perspective, goals, and intended audience. I will actively listen, have empathy, and be willing to engage in open and honest dialogue about the strengths and challenges of the author’s work.

At the same time, I recognize that my role as an editor also involves making difficult decisions about structure, tone, and style and sometimes pushing the author to take risks and experiment with new approaches. My goal is always to balance these responsibilities in a way that honors the author’s voice and vision while helping them realize their full potential as writers.

Ultimately, the role of an editor is to serve as a trusted and supportive partner to authors, helping them to create work that is not only polished and professional but also reflects their unique perspective and voice. Whether working on a novel, a memoir, an article, or a research paper, I am committed to helping authors bring their ideas to life in an engaging, insightful, and impactful way.

I’d love to work with you! Contact me, and we can talk and collaborate on your project.
