Editing for Fiction Authors

I was so impressed with Katie’s edits! She did a great job maintaining my stylistic preferences while thoroughly catching grammatical and flow errors. She offered well-thought-out and meaningful stylistic line edits, and worked with me on revisions until I was satisfied with the end product. I would definitely use her again and would highly recommend her!

I was referred to Katie Chambers by a trusted mentor and was thrilled when she agreed to edit my children’s book manuscript. I thought it was pretty good when I submitted it, but it was so much better when she returned it. I am thrilled with her work. She set forth clear parameters, worked quickly, and gave me excellent return for my money. I would encourage any author to work with Katie to greatly improve any manuscript.

Katie Chambers is a delight to work with. She is prompt, efficient, incredibly knowledgeable and very good at what she does, editing. She has edited my three children’s picture books and lifted them each to a higher level of writing. One of the picture books is a rhyming poem that was actually quite difficult to punctuate and phrase. Katie made sense of it all so I am now confident the poem reads as it was intended to read, and correctly relays when the narrator is thinking or speaking out loud.

A real plus about my experience working with Katie, is that she gives corrections and feedback professionally and matter of factly. I never once felt judged or diminished in the slightest way. She continually made me feel we were a team and from this positive experience, I have had every opportunity to grow as a writer.

Another real plus about working with Katie, is the confidence and peace of mind I now have about my books when they publish. I know I have a quality product that is professionally edited that will stand the test of time. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Katie as a professional editor to anyone. I will always send my work to her for her critical expertise. My book venture absolutely depends on it. Thanks Katie!

Katie Chambers has a wealth of knowledge and experience in editing. She took my rough labor of love and pulled apart all the plot holes, missing content, data dumps, and confusing dialog. She took the time to learn about the characters, and her understanding of each and the feedback she provided helped me improve my overall character development. She also pointed out areas of the story that were lacking, allowing me to bring more action and better flow to the overall story. Her efforts assisted me in polishing, re-write, expanding, and clarifying all elements of the book. The Traveler, Viator Awakens is my first novel, and having an editor who could take the story from big picture concepts, dive into the fine details, then step back to make sure the big picture concepts still work was essential. She gave tons of feedback and explanations as to why something needed more detail or how the data dump slowed the story. She edited in a way that offered me, a first-time author, an opportunity to learn and become a better writer. Working with Katie has been a pleasure, and I look forward to our next project together.

The Secrets of Stonecavern is my first novel written for children ages 10 – 13. As an editor, Katie, helped me tremendously. Her insight, ingenuity, and communication through the editing process took my book to a level that exceeded my expectations. She was there every step of the way and her encouragement helped me finish on time and confident others will enjoy reading my story. I was extremely pleased with her detailed recommendations on how to make the story stronger, and I highly recommend Katie to any writer, seasoned or novice, as a editor. I will definitely hire Katie for Book 2.

Katie  did fantastic editorial work on my post-apocalyptic fiction novel The Last Hacker. She delivered on-time and communicated frequently. Not only did I hire her for copy editing, but also for developmental and story editing. With her help I was able to fix plot-holes as well as mistakes made with story narrative. If you want professional editing, this is the place to get it. It truly is the best of the best in terms of quality. You can trust that your work can stand against top titles published in book stores if you work with Katie.

This is the second time I have used Katie for my editing work. Just like with my first novel, she provided the best possible work I could get.  My end product is much better than what I first sent her. She was thorough and it was obvious she truly cared about my book. I look forward to using her again on future projects.

Ms. Chambers did an amazing job helping with my manuscript. Her feedback enabled me to make important changes I never would have noticed on my own. I feel now that my characters are more relatable and my plot hole has been filled in. I would use her services again and recommend them to anyone.

I highly recommend Katie Chambers with her editing skills. I sent my book off to Katie and she returned it using my words in a improved way. I will continue to use Katie because she is thorough, and to the point. She worked on my manuscript in a very timely manner and our communication with each other was answered promptly.
