What I do

Three ways to polish your manuscript

Comprehensive Editing

A full-scale edit covering characterization, plot, pacing, syntax, spelling, grammar, and typo-catching. Strongly recommended for first-time authors.

Copy Editing

Focused on spelling, grammar, and typo-catching, with consistency checks throughout. Recommended for seasoned authors.

Final Draft Proofreading

The last polish — meant only after serious story and copy editing has been done. Very clean drafts only, please.

From a recent author

"Kyla is not only an exceptional editor in terms of grammar, spelling, and punctuation, but also in improving the flow of the manuscript and correcting awkward and verbose sentences."

— Jacqueline Abrahams, author of Scared of Forever
