Hello
I remember writing letters to my aunt during my high school English class (of all places). While others cringed at writing assignments, I looked forward to them. Years later, I handed out those writing assignments as a middle and high school language arts teacher. My favorite part of teaching writing was sitting next to a student, reviewing their work, and finding ways to improve it. I loved helping them discover their voice as we worked through the revision process. Today, I look forward to that same process with you...my editing clients.
​
During the editing process for my first book One Year with Jesus, each new version would be saved with my initials ks_project name. When I started dreaming of starting my own editing work, I immediately knew I'd be known as ks_edits.
I look forward to hitting save as ks_edits_yourproject.
