I see editing as a puzzle on the page, and it's one that I adore helping writers solve every day. Whether I'm tightening prose, fact-checking, improving flow, or catching those pesky inconsistencies, I'll have a smile on my face the whole time. 

Look to me to make your writing the strongest it can be without sacrificing the special qualities that make your content uniquely yours. If you need a publishing professional who can offer honest, actionable guidance with tact and expertise, I'm your editor.

Depending on if I'm copy editing, line editing, or reviewing your book, here's what you should know about the way that I work. 

• Edit Expertly: I'll improve flow, strengthen your voice, and perfect grammar and mechanics.
• Be a Goody Two-Shoes: I'll adhere to your style guide.
• Exterminate: I'll catch inconsistencies and plot holes and tell you how to get rid of them for good.
• Pay Attention: I'll provide honest, detailed, and holistic feedback (tactfully).
• Be Thoughtful: I'll ask questions and clarify expectations.
• Collaborate: I'll work with you, not against you.
• Inform: I'll quickly and clearly tell you where the project is at and communicate blockers early.
• Listen: I'll accept your feedback.
• Meet You Where You're At: I can use Microsoft Word, Google Docs, Adobe Acrobat, or a CMS of your choosing.
• Love Every Minute: I'll bring my love of words to each project and genuinely care about your work.

• Over-edit
• Remove your unique writing voice
• Try to put my voice into your work
• Offer unsolicited feedback
• Be discourteous or lacking in my communication
• Miss deadlines
• Make substantial changes without approval
• Fully rewrite paragraphs, chapters, or sections
• Be prescriptive with my suggestions

Hey y'all! Thanks for joining me here on a wordy journey! 

My name is Kassidy. I'm a fervent lover of reading, writing, and (most of all) editing. I grew up in Tennessee and now live in Huntsville, AL, where I enjoy taking walks with my dog, playing video games with my fiancé, making—and eating—great desserts, and lamenting over the existential woes of AI. 

I graduated from the University of Alabama in Huntsville with a BA in English and have been working in digital content creation and editing for over six years.

When you work with me, you'll not only get a competent editor with industry experience, you'll also get that famous Southern hospitality and a lot of cute pictures of my dog, Halsey.
