Krysia P. Lear

Profile

As a professional editor, I’ve rescued books that didn’t seem publishable, developed effective documents and papers, and revised instructional manuals to improve their usability. “I love the way you take what I have written or spoken and make it so much better,” wrote a client recently.

Strong editorial skills, strategic thinking, and sound judgment make me an effective editor. My qualification as a Certified Proofreader speaks to my attention to detail. Additional subject areas include Bible, charities, Christianity, church, fundraising, memoirs, theology, and social justice.
