the best version of your story
Collaborative editing
I’ve been working with words since 2015, first as a senior editor for an ESL publisher, and since 2019 as a freelance fiction editor helping writers create the best version of their story through developmental and line editing services.
After taking some time to focus on my own writing, I decided to create a new type of collaborative editing help that bridges the gap between coaching and developmental editing.
I also wanted to keep my rates affordable while still providing great value.
So whether you need someone to brainstorm solutions, ensure your outline works before you draft, or give you detailed feedback on your finished manuscript or first few chapters, I’m here to support you.
If you have any questions:

I work with people who want to write the best version of their story but need a little help along the way. Whether you’re looking for some quick guidance on your next steps or would like feedback on your manuscript, I’m here to help.

Do you have an idea but don’t know whether it’s any good? Or do you have writer’s block and need help to push through it?
Sometimes all you need is one session to help you move forward, or two or three to work through something more challenging.
You can book what you need, without having to make a long-term commitment.

“I have so far worked with Kerry on three books, and have been constantly impressed by her professionalism, insight, and attention to detail. She is not only able to identify issues with manuscripts, but offers excellent solutions for how to fix them. I’d recommend Kerry’s services to any writer who wants to feel like they have an editor that is in their corner —- she is truly passionate about her client’s books, and knows how to make them shine. I hope to continue working with her on my future projects.“
