What my clients are s(l)aying!

  • "I had the absolute pleasure of working with Katelyn at TheEditingSlayer for a four-chapter critique, and I couldn’t be more grateful for her! On incredibly short notice, she delivered thoughtful, detailed feedback in less than 12 hours, which was something I never expected, but deeply appreciated. Her critique was the perfect balance of constructive feedback and reassuring words that helped me refine my story while also boosting my confidence as an author who loves trying new things. Katelyn truly was the final piece I needed to pull everything together and I can’t recommend her enough to any author looking for an editor who not only improves your work but believes in it too. Instead of shying away from the gore and intensity of my splatterpunk story as a new-genre to Katelyn, she approached it with an open mind and genuine enthusiasm. Her willingness to step outside her comfort zone and still provide her supportive input meant the world to me."

    - Mel Reilly

    Author Featured in Beneath Her Skin: A Horror Charity Anthology

  • "As a struggling local author I stumbled upon Katelyn aka "The Editing Slayer," to help me edit my recent memoir. Her prices are very reasonable, and her time frame in getting her job done is impeccable! I got my manuscript back quicker than what she quoted. She diligently went over my manuscript. She is the perfect person to ask when you need a second pair of eyes to make sure that your writing is at its best potential. I am fully aware of her different services, so I guarantee that I will come back again to ask for her assistance. I even went as far as telling a few people about her services in hopes she could gain more of a client base."

    - Sandra M. Dorazil

    Author of Haunted By My Past: The Youngest Speaks Up

  • “Are you getting ready to publish your next book and are struggling with the blurb? The blurb can be difficult as it helps the civet draw readers interest and can be the key factor for them to decide whether or not to pick up your book. Being a fan of Katelyn’s writing I reached out to gain her aide and critique for my blurb. She was quick to respond with probing questions to help create a better blurb. At the end of the day Katelyn ensures your voice rings true."

    — E.L Summers

    Author of Hunted: The Immortal Kiss

  • "Katie is a great writer and person to work with -- on time, open to feedback, responsive and efficient!"

The Process

Step 1: Fill out the Request Services Form with the services that you would like.

Step 2: I will then email you with a quote. If applicable, I will ask you to send over your first chapter or 1,000 words for a free sample edit to make sure we are a good match.

Step 3: If we are a good match, an editing contract will be sent to you, which must be signed in order to reserve your spot.

Step 4: Upon signing the contract, an invoice for the 50% deposit will be sent to you via our agreed-upon payment method (PayPal, Venmo, or Zelle).

(You will be required to pay a 50% deposit upfront and then pay the remaining 50% once the job is completed, unless a payment plan is established.)

Step 4:  Editing begins on the agreed-upon start date, if the deposit is received.

Step 5: I will email you once I have completed the work, and the final 50% must be paid before the final work is sent over to you.

Step 6: (opt.) Send me a testimonial that I can use for my website and promotion.
