Katie did a brilliant job of taking a rookie writer through the editing process. I’ll be collaborating with her on any books, etc that I write. She is a valuable partner in the process.

I used Katie for content editing/writing on my upcoming book. This is the first time I’ve used a content editor/writer. I was apprehensive at first, but now I can’t imagine every writing without Katie’s input ever again. Her recommended edits were spot-on, adding to the cohesiveness and strength of my book and pulling me out of the myopic trench that I tend get myself into when I write. Wow! I can’t say enough positive about this experience. I can’t wait to work with her again on my next book. Thanks Katie.

I was so fortunate to have Katie Chambers edit my memoir. She helped polish my story from editing the conventions of writing to addressing the content, style, and structure. I was impressed by how Katie gave brilliant suggested options to improve and strengthen the manuscript. She is very professional and gets the job done. As an editor, Katie is a true gatekeeper between the author and the reader.

Katie is top-notch! She has an eye for detail, but also has the ability to zoom out and see edits on a big picture / content level. Efficient, professional, and full of insight! I’ll definitely be collaborating with Katie in the future.

Katie did an amazing job of editing my book. It was my first one and she made it feel like a breeze with her helpful tips and the way she carefully went through my manuscript.

Launching my first book was so nerve racking! Katie had helpful advice and was very encouraging; this made me feel I was on the right path. She was very patient and helpful with me, even through the multiple edits, which is part of her process anyways. She was a pleasure to work with!

My mom and I worked together to write her Amish memoir and we really needed an editor who would both have cultural sensitivity and help us provide clarity for the reader. Katie excelled, helping us tie up loose ends and providing suggestions that made this book so much better. Thank God for Katie! We’re so grateful that we chose to work with her.

A great book is two hands clapping. One is the writer; the other the editor. I have worked with a lot of top editors over the years and while they all have talent, the majority live in a world of their own timing – they are not reliable. So while there may well be two hands clapping they don’t clap at the same time which leads the writer into realms of frustration. Waiting, wondering and worrying.
Not so with Katie Chambers. She is an excellent substantive editor and is prompt and reliable. A pleasure and a relief to work with.
That being said the bottom line with any review is would you work with this person again? And the answer is a definite yes. And I will recommend her to my fellow authors and speakers. Thanks Katie.

Katie was direct and to the point from the get-go. I wrote a book on meditation and my aim was to keep my content simple and digestible without going into too many esoteric directions, and Katie hit the nail on the head with her suggestions. When I got my first pass back I was amazed at what I saw, my words sounded professional and like a book that I would read. She was also not afraid to offer her insight into the subject which helped me move the reader along, and she did extremely well navigating through my Sanskrit references. She also happily edited in British English which was useful. I would recommend Katie in a heartbeat and look forward to working with her on my next project!

Katie was great to work with for this project. She is knowledgeable and gave great feedback. We communicated clearly and easily with one another. I would definitely work with Katie again.

Katie easily absorbed My book’s main ides and then added ideas that I didn’t think about. That says a lot about how she works.

She didn’t just give me grammar and spelling advice. She did much more by suggesting paragraph movements and sentence structure as well as suggesting erudite ideas to enhance and add clarity to the book.

This was more of a consulting relationship than pure editing.

I will use her again!

I was very nervous about sharing my first attempt at professional writing with anyone, let alone an editor. Like most authors, I had self-edited and utilized an editing-application to help minimize errors. I wasn’t sure what to expect from Katie, but I envisioned shamefully receiving my edited draft back from her, covered with red-pen “corrections,” just like in middle school. When my first edited draft was returned, however, I was amazed. Katie caught errors that the editing application hadn’t, offered suggestions for re-wording sentences (I tend to write in the passive voice) to enhance the clarity of the message, and suggested moving chapters, and relocating paragraphs, (or to delete them entirely because of redundancy.) She took what I wrote and simply made it better, without detracting from my personal voice or writing style.

We had a slight misunderstanding in the beginning, regarding the number of rounds of edits. Once it was discovered we laughed it off, and got on a solid track, communicating easily and frequently.

I found her directness to be refreshing. She doesn’t waste time coddling your ego or telling you what you’d like to hear. She tells it “like it is,” yet she does this in a respectful, affirming, and kind manner. Katie understands that writing a book is hard work. She meets the writer right where they are, then gently challenges them while concurrently strengthening their writing skills. I highly recommend Katie Chambers.

Working with Katie was definitely worth it. She helped me clean up my manuscript and gave great tips to improve the content, which resulted in a book I feel way more confident about. She was also very understanding of my author newbie position and respected my emotions. Thank you for everything.

Katie greatly exceeded my expectations as an editor. Her sharp eye for small errors and her ability to give the book a 10,000-foot view with regard to the general organization of the material were critical for me in putting out the best book possible on my topic. I always felt like she was in my corner and was invested in our ability together to produce a quality book. I’ll certainly be reaching out to her again.

I enjoyed my experience working with Katie. As a first time author, I wasn’t sure what to expect from the editing process. I heard horror stories about editors completely changing your words, and writers losing confidence and giving up. I never experienced any of these working with Katie. In reality, she motivated me to think deeper and create a product that my readers will find valuable. I’m passionate about helping social service professionals and the notes Katie provided pushed me to create a product that will make a difference. If you’re looking for an editor that will challenge you to become a better writer while giving your manuscript the transformation it needs, I HIGHLY recommend you work with Katie.

I was very nervous about handing over my personal story to an editor, but very soon in the editing process, Katie surprised me with her first message to me. It was respectful, kind, generous, and I felt confident my book was in the right hands. I have nothing to compare her skillset to as I’m a first-time author. Expectations weren’t really clear and the timeline was not as expected, but I learned to let the process happen the way it needed to and forego expectations/irritations. I could have become angry with the delays, but what good would that do? In the end, I love my book and am honored to have worked with Katie to produce it.

Katie did an excellent job with my book. Several times I was in a rush to accomplish a task and was having difficulty with an aspect of my book and Katie graciously walked me through it. Overall, she was a pleasure to interact with and I’m very satisfied with my results and my decision to go with her services.

Working with Katie was a fantastic experience for me, as I was writing my first book and had a non-literary background. Katie really improved my writing where it was a bit wordy and gave several useful suggestions of placement of material. Furthermore, her questions about the text brought up places where it could be improved. This made her a really great content and copy editor. On deadlines and communication, I felt all of it was smooth and reliable. I recommend Katie very highly and would not hesitate to use her services again!
