I will be honest – I went looking for an editor full of trepidation, having heard of the many horror stories of pages scrawled with red ink and writers’ tears. I tried out around five editors with a sample chapter edit, and Kisa absolutely stood out (in the best way).

Kisa is a thorough professional who is fantastic at her craft. On top of that, her vast experience has given her a careful business acumen in terms of genre, in particular YA and dystopia, which is invaluable when it comes to making small tweaks for the reader to bring a book up to the next level. And just when I thought it couldn’t get any better, I found Kisa absolutely lovely to work with.

Kisa is an editor in the best sense of the word – one who understands the heart of your story and helps you to make it shine. Thanks to working with her, I have definitely grown as a writer, and I look forward to working with her again.

I’ve been privileged to work with Kisa on my short story, Cry of the Windwalker, and my debut novel, Gambit. She is truly an amazing editor. Her insights are brilliant, and she has a keen eye for voice and pacing. She makes suggestions that help improve the quality of my work without compromising the heart of the story. Best of all, she uses a witty, encouraging approach that makes editing seem less like work and more like an adventure.

Kisa is outstanding, both as an editor and as a person, and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to anyone looking to improve a manuscript. Just be prepared to get hooked on her editing style. Trust me, it will happen. She’s that good.
