About me
Hi, I’m Kathryn — a lawyer, writer, editor, and experienced beta reader. I help fiction writers strengthen their manuscripts with thoughtful, practical feedback on pacing, character, plot, clarity, and emotional impact. My goal is to give honest notes that are detailed, encouraging, and easy to use, with clear examples from your draft. I especially enjoy working with early drafts, full manuscripts, and stories featuring diverse characters, families, identities, and communities.
