Hi, I’m Kirsten 👋

I’m a book editor and author coach based in Scotland, and for 10+ years I’ve helped authors with imposter syndrome turn rough drafts into books they’re proud of.

Most of the writers I work with are on their very first book. Many come back for the next one, and the one after that (my fave compliment).

How I work: I don’t rewrite your book. I make suggestions, ask questions, offer examples and alternatives, and explain why. So your book still sounds like YOU and you learn as you go.

Honest but kind, always. ♡

Writing your first or next book? Say hello in the comments and tell me what you’re working on.

Want to chat about working together, book a call. All links are in my bio.
