The full Kaitlin Schmidt editorial experience is unparalleled. She's a champion for my book and an editor who so intuitively understands my brain, writing intention, and style. She is always down to gush over line-level prose and is always in my corner. My writing shines brighter and is so much stronger because of the care, support, and enthusiasm that Kaitlin brings to my words and story. She loves to get deep into details as much as I do too, which is an added bonus, and a very fun part of the process!

Working with Kaitlin was amazing! Not only is she incredibly thorough, but she is extremely organized, patient, and knowledgable about how a book should be put together. She took my manuscript, which had already been through two professional edits before it got to her, and still found a ton of typos, saving me time, credibility, and money in the long run. Now I’ll know to go with her the first time around! Can’t recommend her services enough!

I am so lucky to be involved in the Cards of Passion book series with Kaitlin. Her beta reading of my initial manuscript gave me fantastic ideas, reinforced changes I’d contemplated, and encouraged me to slash sections with abandon and write new chapters. As this is my first published work, her input was invaluable. I regret waiting too long to try to book her editing services, but eagerly look forward to working with Kaitlin again in the future.

As a traditionally published author and ghostwriter with nearly twenty books under my belt, I’ve worked with many different editors, but Kaitlin blew me away. She’s incredibly thorough and does her research. More importantly, she intuitively understood my intent, so her edits consistently improved my writing without changing it.

Kaitlin’s insight as an editor was an invaluable tool when I struggled with a character’s development. She asks questions that focus on the deeper story, character motivations, hidden symbolism, or connections. Her editorial style is positive, thoughtful, and designed to help the writer tell their story in their voice, but with better punctuation (at least in my case). Working with Kaitlin has made me a better writer and I could not recommend her more highly.
