Hi, I’m Kim.
I’m a certified book coach and developmental editor who helps Canadian
women writers turn their messy drafts into polished novels (kind of like
turning a double-double into a fancy latte).

Revision can feel lonely, and a bit like a long winter, but I’m here to make the process clearer, lighter, and even a little fun.

Book Coach & Developmental Editor

​

I am grateful to live and work in Ottawa, Canada, on the traditional, unceded land of the Algonquin Anishinaabe people. As someone who supports writers, I believe stories carry responsibility. This acknowledgement is a reminder for me to listen with respect, to learn from the truths of Indigenous peoples, and to encourage writing that honours the diversity of voices on this land.
