Taboo Tales, Perfectly Polished.
Work With Kaitlyn
Alpha Reading
A first look at your manuscript with broad feedback regarding the plot, characters, and setting. Offers direction moving forward into edits. A mini version of Developmental Editing.
Developmental Editing
The review and revision of the major components of the story such as plot, character development, setting, world building, etc. A more in-depth version of Alpha Reading.
Line Editing
Line-by-line suggestions to improve the author’s prose, including, voice, articulation, style, clarity, flow, and tone. Very thorough suggestions throughout the entire manuscript.
Beta Reading
A detailed review of the entire manuscript with moderately detailed feedback aimed to offer a reader reaction prior to publishing. Analysis of how your book may fit into the current market.
Words Matter
It all begins with an idea. Maybe you want to make a name for yourself. Maybe you want to share your story with the world. Or maybe you have a passion for reading and want to try your hand at writing. Whatever it is, the way you tell your story can make all the difference.
Why did I decide to become an editor?
Bridging the gap
Indie authors have it tough. The weight of every single aspect of publishing falls on your shoulders, but you don’t have to power through it alone. I’m here to help you articulate your vision, support your writing journey, and feel confident every step of the way.
Taboo Editing Services specializes in Dark Romance and Romantasy;
however, I will consider all projects under the umbrella of
Adult and YA Commercial Fiction, to include . . .
Genres
Science Fiction
Ruin the world, rebuild it wrong, then let me watch it fall apart.
Romance
Dark, Cozy, Contemporary—I love love.
Fantasy
Please teach me magic and take me on your quest.
Horror and Thriller
If it haunts, creeps, or kills, I’m into it.
“Kaitlyn is a FANTASTIC editor. She's equally a cheerleader for your project and a critical editor who provides smart, tactical ways to make your book stronger. Her knowledge of the book market further strengthens her feedback, and she is a fast, thorough editor. Before working with Kaitlyn, I was unsure if my book even made sense, much less what I needed to edit. Now I have useful, honest edits and a clear plan of action for my revisions. Kaitlyn is truly a champion for the books she works on and any writer would be lucky to have her in their corner.”

“Finding an editor isn’t easy. And as a debut novelist it’s hard to find someone to trust with something you’ve worked tirelessly on. Kaitlyn assuaged all of my worries, walked me through her process and what to expect, and kept me informed and in the loop every step of the way. She is incredible to work with and gives fantastic and worthwhile constructive feedback. I couldn’t be happier!”
