Kate has been my hero ever since I discovered she’d proofread one of my advanced reader copies. I added her to my proofreading team and she came back with suggestions and edits that were more thorough and complete than my actual editor. From that moment on, she was my BFF! Kate has a way of connecting with your work that enables her to spot developmental, line copy and proofreading issues that everyone else will miss. She is generous, gentle and a true pleasure to partner with. New writers to experienced novelists would all get their money's worth (and more) from working with Kate.

I’ve had the honor of working with Kate since the beginning of my writing career. From the start, she has amazed me with the quality of her work. In the past two years, she has become my go-to person before even contemplating releasing a book.
From line editing to character development, plot holes, continuity issues, grammar, and spelling, she does it all. Kate is thorough and clearly explains the reasons behind her proposed changes. As a non-native English speaker, I love that she takes the time to teach me the subtleties that sometimes elude me in relations to grammar, syntax, vocabulary, and even idioms.
Kate doesn’t treat you like a customer but as a friend. She handles your book, and your voice as an author, with the utmost respect. I cannot recommend Kate enough.

Kate Schieber of BFF Editing is an absolute godsend of an editor. Every time I read one of the four (one paranormal romance, three contemporary romance) books of mine she’s edited, I feel quite fortunate to have had her help turning good novels into great works. She’s thorough, detail-oriented, and analytical. She cares for your book as if it were her own. Kate takes pride in her work, wanting her authors to publish their best possible novel. More, Kate goes out of her way to research and share articles that will help her authors become even better writers. She takes a personal investment in her clients, which I appreciate. I would say I’m pleased I found her, but in truth, she found me, and I couldn’t be more grateful she reached out. It’s nice to have a quality editor on my side who is thoughtful, consistent, and competent. If you are looking for an editor, I highly recommend Kate of BFF Editing. You won’t regret entrusting your labor of love to her capable hands.

Kate worked with me on my latest novel, The Trickster's Song. She was just plain amazing! Her comments were insightful, clever, and supportive of my work. She even gently introduced me to a few new grammar rules, which might have been embarrassing (I'm an English teacher myself) if she hadn't done it with such tact.
Reading Kate's commentary and thoughtful edits felt like sitting down with a good friend over a latte to chat about my book. I can't wait to finish the next project and send it off for Kate's expert take!

As my many, many drafts prove, no writer can produce the perfect manuscript on their own. I’ve been on the lookout for that special pair of eyes that can catch the mistakes, the time-warps, the dangling participles, the soft spots that I can miss. I loved working with Kate! She has a keen eye not just for the mechanical details, but for the end-product as well. From the not-quite-right verb tense to the too-vague plot point, nothing gets by her. Reliable, easy to work with, diligent, and always sensitive to your pride of authorship, Kate demonstrates that she’s as committed as you are to write the very best version of your book.

I used BFF Editing Services on my last full-length novel and I was extremely pleased with the results. I feel like my book was thoroughly edited and errors were found that I otherwise missed. More importantly, anything the editor discovered was pointed out and it was left up to me to correct it or leave it as is. I felt like my opinions were valued and in no way was I pressured to change anything that I didn't feel comfortable changing. It was a stress-free experience with a very friendly editor, and I would wholeheartedly recommend BFF Editing and definitely consider them for any future stories.

Kate did a very thorough job proofing my manuscript. The book even made it to the finals of the RONE Awards! I highly recommend her.
