The goal of editing is to make writing as clear as possible. We write so that someone else can read our work, so editing is about helping our readers understand our meaning. I strive to help writers enjoy the editing process. My goals are author satisfaction and reader enjoyment. I will approach the editing process with compassion and skill by working alongside you to make sure that your writing is what you imagined it would be. I understand that your writing is yours, and all my editorial suggestions are just that, suggestions. 

Kiara resides in Canberra but does most of her work remotely. She is happy to work with anyone who lives in Australia or New Zealand. 

Technically, a 'book' is only a book when it is published. Until then, it's a manuscript.
