Kelsey B.
Book Editor/Proofreader/Beta Reader
I have a Bachelor's Degree in Creative Writing (with a Minor in Communications) from the University of Wisconsin-Green Bay. I took rigorous courses in both academic writing, research, and creative writing. I specialized in poetry. I served on the school's literary journal, the Sheepshead Review, for two years, or four semesters. For three of those semesters I was on the editing team. I was the nonfiction editor one semester, and then co-chief and chief copyeditor for two semesters, respectively. I'm very good at looking through things and finding flaws, as well as rewording sentences so they make more sense. I'm also very good at casual writing and writing poetry, short stories, and articles for newspapers, which would translate over to blogs. If I have to do a little research, that's no problem. I once had to write a ten page research paper, so this is no big deal! I have been on Upwork for over 6 years now and I have edited over 160 manuscripts. I am the listed editor on the book AEGIS by Aether Quinn and registered in Bowker's databases (where the ISBNs for the book came from). One think I would really like to work on is ghostwriting small pieces or parts of books. I really want to strengthen that skill and would be honored if you let me do that in your manuscript. In my downtime I'm a huge nerd who reads, plays video games, and is into other geeky culture. I'm also a wife and have an adorable calico cat named Leliana. I very much look forward to working with anyone who is interested. I look forward to hearing from you!
