Finicky? Persnickety? Pedantic? These are three things you want (and need) in an editor. Better yet, you want one that knows the slightly-different grammatical conventions of the US, the UK, and Canada.

I'm Karen. I love words, grammar, and sentence structure; I'm a copy- and line editor that sincerely enjoys working with clients to fix the (sometimes-not-so-) little issues of flow and structure that stop an incredible story from really shining. Let me help your story glow.

My Honours BSc. is in Human Kinetics, but I've worked in both National Security and War Crimes, been a personal trainer and fitness instructor for over 20 years, and have written articles on writing, health, fitness, ecommerce and LED technology... among others.

I have followed my husband across Canada, to London, UK and Washington, D.C. In my spare time, I wrangle three energetic kids and a codependent dog, run, work out, and drink tea.

My next novel, Paper Moons, is currently with Sley House, expected publication in March of 2025.

My first novel, Ground Control, was published by Sley House in 2022. It is not completely autobiographical.
