Creating, crafting and revitalising content
Are you an author looking for someone to work with on your publishing journey? Or an educational publisher looking for an experienced editor to work with? I can help you from the initial stages through to final proofs, and everything in between. With authoring, editing, project management and proofreading services all available, I offer a comprehensive service for authors and publishers alike.
Who I help
Working with Kathryn at Refresh Editorial absolutely lived up to the name. I had an old unpublished manuscript which no longer felt like my current writing style and needed a serious overhaul. Having Kathryn on board gave me both structural/development insights as well as a very thorough line edit to clear out clunky phrasing. Kathryn communicated clearly throughout with me and I'd recommend her work to any writer wanting to ensure their work has impact and is polished.

Kathryn took my children’s book and transformed it, realising its full potential. She has an acute sense of what a text needs to show it in its best light and is, in my experience, unsurpassed in her attention to detail. I will be using Kathryn’s services for a long time to come and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a professional who will guide you patiently through your journey to editorial perfection:) Twinkle and I thank you, Kathryn!”

I've worked with Kathryn many times and always found her to be reliable and professional. Her authoring work is creative and inspired, and always matches the brief perfectly. We've received feedback from those involved in other stages of the editorial process (editors, proofreaders and teacher reviewers) that the quality of her writing has made their jobs easier. She has written for us on an impressive variety of topics, from grammar to Frankenstein, always to a very high standard and with sensitivity to the needs of students at different levels of ability.

Who I am
I'm Kathryn, and I've been editing since 2005. I've spent the majority of my career working on Literacy and English content, as well as History. I've worked with many major publishers such as Oxford University Press, Pearson, Macmillan Education and Scholastic in an editorial capacity, and more recently I have written some books for Collins Education.
II also enjoy working with independent authors of children's and adult fiction. Most of these clients are self-publishers, although I also work with and advise writers looking to publish traditionally. I've worked with PhD Creative Writing students, a popular writing podcast host, and many writers-by-night, fitting writing into their busy lives. Whatever your project, I would be delighted to learn more about you and your work! |
Kathryn was an absolute joy to work with from beginning to end. She was diligent in her edits, timely, very professional and showed that she truly cared about helping us create the best version of our story possible. We highly recommend her and are excited to work with her again on our next story.
