Welcome to my website. Thank you for stopping by. My name is Kim, and I’m a writer. Maybe you are too. I’m also an editor and have been for many years, and my articles can often be found in Writer’s Digest magazine. I have embarked on a self-publishing journey that I’d like to share with you. If you want to join me, please subscribe to my email list to receive my newsletter and blog. In it, I discuss aspects of writing craft, my personal writing process, my books, and many, many tips for self-publishing.
If you’d like to learn more about The Jovian Universe, my sci-fi series, click My Books in the navigation bar near the top of the page.
About Kim
Years ago, I left college and set out to find a job that would allow me to hone my craft during work hours. My editing career began at one of the big five publishing houses in NYC, and later I became a freelance editor at a time when people had never even heard of such a thing.
Fast-forward to the present, where I continue to write novels as well as offer editorial services, helping others to achieve their publishing dreams (www.editandproof.com).
