About

Hello,

If you are just starting out with an outline or have a pile of stories, let me organize your writing into a coherent story. My specialty is helping writers convey life learned messages in memoirs. From individuals of domestic abuse, losing loved ones, living with a spouse incarcerated, living as a runaway, losing a newborn, religious walks of faith and spiritual encounters, just to name a few, let me help you organize and clearly convey your message to your readers.

I have my certification in Publishing from University of Denver Publishing Institute and my bachelor’s in English, and I have over ten years of experience helping writers in all stages of the writing process. I edit for typographical errors, grammar, syntax, punctuation, tone, content, and consistency using Microsoft Word’s Track Changes following the Chicago Manual of Style. I also include comments and suggestions throughout the reading. If you need someone with a keen eye for detail and a grammatical guru, I would be more than happy to help you out.

Kind Regards, Katharine Vail

Endorsements:

Katharine taught me to trust her ‘lens’ in regards to my intentions and gently, but relentlessly, encouraged me to dig deeper. I was either lazy or well trained. I have written letters to the editor for 40 years – bound by a 300 word maximum, which I would hit, on the nose, every time. It took time for me to expand and embrace the luxury of my storytelling. I can say, unequivocally, that the responses and encouragement I received from Katharine as friend/editor became the impetus for what is published today – which is changing, blessing, and affecting the many lives that have embraced it. – Catherine Crabill
