HEllo, I’m Katelyn!

I have a passion for reading, writing, and editing.

I graduated from the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee with English and Film Studies degrees. I have over 2 years of professional academic editing experience. Earlier this year, I graduated from Edit Republic's High-Level Proofreading and Copyediting Pro and have over 18 months of ghostwriting experience. I always put the skills I've learned to great use while writing, editing, and critiquing books and blurbs

Besides editing, I also self-publish books. I currently have four vampire books and one YA thriller published under my name, Katelyn Young.

I specialize in Romance and Fantasy but I do edit any genre from Young Adult to Mystery to Non-Fiction. Please do make me aware of any triggers. If certain triggers are present I may not be the best fit!

If you are interested in working with me, please reach out.

What my clients are s(l)aying!

  • "As a struggling local author I stumbled upon Katelyn aka "The Editing Slayer," to help me edit my recent memoir. Her prices are very reasonable, and her time frame in getting her job done is impeccable! I got my manuscript back quicker than what she quoted. She diligently went over my manuscript. She is the perfect person to ask when you need a second pair of eyes to make sure that your writing is at its best potential. I am fully aware of her different services, so I guarantee that I will come back again to ask for her assistance. I even went as far as telling a few people about her services in hopes she could gain more of a client base."

    Author of Haunted By My Past: The Youngest Speaks Up

  • “Are you getting ready to publish your next book and are struggling with the blurb? The blurb can be difficult as it helps the civet draw readers interest and can be the key factor for them to decide whether or not to pick up your book. Being a fan of Katelyn’s writing I reached out to gain her aide and critique for my blurb. She was quick to respond with probing questions to help create a better blurb. At the end of the day Katelyn ensures your voice rings true."
