Professional Book Editing
Kirstin Whitman
Everyone has a story, but to tell a tale that evokes emotions—passion, joy, grief, rage, despair—is more than storytelling. It’s art.
At KW Editing, I specialize in professional book editing for self-publishing authors and authors looking to edit their manuscripts before diving into the query trenches.
However, I get particularly excited about working with debut authors. Why, you ask? Because I love being an author's first experience with a professional in the "writing world."
But no matter where you are in your writing journey, whether you're a seasoned author with mutliple novels under your belt or a nervous newbie, I will help you polish your book baby, hone your unique voice, and feel prepared to publish.


My METHOD
Hover over me!
I want your experience with me to leave you motivated, so I phrase my comments from a positive, teaching perspective.
Seeking professional help is nerve wracking, and I'll do everything I can to make the experience stress free.
My GOAL
You guessed it--hover!
I strive to uplift diverse voices and manuscripts, so all my services can be tailored to meet your specific needs.
What does this mean? Whether you want in-depth grammar explanations, content queries only, or something else entirely, I can provide it.
I want you to get the most out of our collaboration, so don't hesitate to ask about personalizing your editing package.
Why ME
Time to hover!
As a writer working on my first book, I am intimately acquainted with the struggles you're going through.
I, too, worried about which editor to work with (yes, even editors need editors), whether my writing is "good" enough, and whether I'm cut out to face public criticism.
Because I've been on both sides of the editor-author dynamic, I'll never judge you for your grammar or think your manuscript isn't worth publishing.
If anything, I'll be your biggest supporter as you navigate the literary world.
Let's COLLAB
You know what to do!
I hope learning about the human, imperfect sides of me allow you to feel more comfortable sharing your work.
Let's make your manuscript shine together!
