Novel, Poetry & Picture Book Editor

Editing with care, communication, and love

As a trained editor and indie author, I understand how daunting the editing process can be. My goal is not to only have my clients feel confident putting their work out into the world but to also feel cared for during the editing process itself.

So if you’re looking for an editor for your novel, poetry, or picture book, I’d love to be that person!

Meet Kaila

Hi! I’m a freelance editor and indie author who loves helping clients bring out the best in their writing. When I’m not editing, I’m writing, absorbing fantasy, or dreaming about something fictional.

What clients have to say

I am so relieved I chose to work with Kaila. Not only was she punctual and communicative, but her work was also impeccable, and she was such a joy to work with. She made the entire process feel stress-free and dare I say, easy? I actually enjoyed doing my copyedits, which has never happened before. I will absolutely be working with her again for my next indie release.

I’m glad I decided to work with Kaila! I really wanted someone who is a true professional and also able to appreciate my poetry. I felt very comfortable throughout the whole process, she always communicated the various steps of proofreading. Her reassurance was highly appreciated. Thanks to her, I now feel even more confident to let my book out of my hands and launch it into the big wide world.
