Hi, I’m Kristina Haahr.
Book Editor for Fiction and Nonfiction Authors
Your book has the power to change lives. To fill someone with wonder, inspire a new passion, or to make them feel seen.
It could change the world.
But only if it’s published. And only if it’s so compelling that the story reaches off of the page and envelops the reader into it. Only if it’s been professionally edited by a partner who is as invested in amplifying your voice as you are: me.
My Approach
All the best heroes have sidekicks. Let me be the Dr. Watson to your Sherlock Holmes, assisting you to solve the mystery of what’s holding your book back from its greatest potential, and allowing you to crack the case and claim all the glory. Like Watson, I am also a loyal partner, keen observer, and lover of strong coffee.
Tell Me Your Goals
Whether you want to be traditionally published, self-publish your own book, or have your ex recognize himself in the pages of your revenge romance novel, when I’m your editor, your goals are my goals. So—what are we aiming for?
Silent Partner
You have a voice, and it’s my job to make sure it’s heard. Together, we’ll transform your manuscript into a great work of writing. One that readers will be desperate to get their hands on.
Your Partner
I know exactly how you feel right now. You’ve spent months—maybe even years—pouring your soul (and a fair amount of coffee) into your manuscript. So now that it’s time to hand your precious pages over to someone else, you’re anxious. How could an editor possibly understand what your work means to you? Except, I do understand, because I’ve been in your shoes. In a way, having my own writing published in academic journals has better prepared me to be an empathetic editor than 20 years of editing experience, four certifications, and ongoing education from the Associated Press and the Editorial Freelancers Association ever could.
