About the Editor

Hello! My name is Kristen and I am the editor around these parts. In addition to being a freelance editor, I am also a self-published author.

I grew up writing stories, creating worlds inside my head, and making great friends with the characters who were like best friends to me - that no one else could see.

I came to love language and the beauty of expressing it through written word. In high school my advanced placement English Literature class introduced me to all the literary classics. I devoured them and envied their authors. I wanted to be able to write so eloquently.

Later my creative writing class published a small anthology of poetry and I was introduced to the indie world of authors and poets. I immersed myself in the community of indie writers and found that they (you) are the most fascinating people I had ever met - and of course, I was flabbergasted to realize that there existed other people like me; writers with stories and people inside their heads that were just bursting to be unfurled on paper. 

I had many jobs as a young adult and even taught English in Mexico for some time, but I never stopped writing. I became a beta reader for many indie authors and was satisfied to write and beta read for many years.

It was only recently, when a good friend of mine asked me to edit her novel, that I realized my true passion was helping people with their stories. I edited many novels and novelettes and the praise I received was humbling.

After investigating the price of traditional editors, I realized there was a decidedly empty niche where indie authors were concerned. There existed not any soul I could find who edited for the sake of the author and not for the money it would derive.

Thus, your editing lounge was born. A place where indie authors with tight purse strings, average sized wallets and daytime jobs can actually obtain thorough and accurate edits for a fraction of the price of a traditional editor. 

I do look forward to meeting you and reading your work!
