Editing Service
    Professional Line Editing and Critique         
                                                       For One Easy Price

Would you like extra help from a experienced editor before publishing or submitting
your book?

Send your first three chapters, a full manuscript, or any project.

Prepare your book for publishing:
Traditionally published books (like you see in book stores) usually go through one or two edits with a
professional editor. If you plan to self-publish and want this same level of expertise, you can hire me to fine-
comb your book. I'll edit your work and provide feedback on your writing, yet I retain your voice and style.

Obtaining a professional edit and critique also greatly increases your chances of acceptance with a major
publisher. Before submitting your manuscript to agents and editors, make sure the story is at its best.

I'm Kristen Bailey, and I've been professionally editing since 2005. I'm a staff editor for Kype Magazine and have edited
short stories, websites, novels, business books and other freelance projects. I work closely with authors on editing,
making sure we use a process that the author can understand and find useful.



















I track changes with Word tracking so you can accept or reject each edit and add comments to the side that
will help you improve the story.
