Hi, I’m Kim—opinionated bookish girlie, Swiftie extraordinaire and labradoodle mom. Reading and writing have always been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. I won my first writing competition in third grade with a piece detailing my experience on 9/11, wrote Jonas Brother fan fiction (embarrassing!) in high school for an audience of hundreds of readers, and minored in Creative Writing in college as an outlet to my Biochemistry major. My childhood and teenage years were filled with trips to Barnes & Noble, midnight releases for Harry Potter, Twilight, and The Hunger Games, and convincing my friends to pick up my latest bookish obsession. It would seem that not much has changed. 

 

Like many, life pulled me away from the literary world for a while, but during the pandemic, I rediscovered my love for books—this time through the indie author community. I was immediately enamored with the grit and dedication it takes to write, publish, and market your own work. It takes something special to believe in yourself the way indie authors do, and I’ve found nothing more fulfilling than celebrating their successes with them. 

 

A year ago, I was asked to alpha read for the first time, and I knew I had found my passion. There’s nothing better than highlighting a killer line that’s perfect for promo, helping an author shape their work to match their vision, or working through tough spots to find the right words. Whether it’s romance, fantasy, or anything in between, I love helping authors refine their stories while keeping their unique voice intact. 

 

If you’re an indie author looking for an invested reader and a passionate editor, I’d love to help you bring your story to life!
