“Katie has edited three books for me and each time she has done a completely thorough job, catching even the most elusive of typos. She is excellent as both a developmental editor and a line editor and I would use her again and again. Any author would be blessed to have Katie Smith as their editor.”

“Katie was my first experience with an editor, and I wasn’t disappointed! She’s very thorough and dare I say, picky (but in the best of ways). The thing is, I had edited my manuscript many times before I finally sent it over to her. Her comments, suggestions and edits were things I had not even thought of. Together, she and I developed the story a bit more and I could not be happier with the final novel. Katie also instructed me on the things I should be doing as far as building my brand as an author, and she was more than willing to give advice while I was designing the cover for my novel. She’s fair and honest, and I’d love to work with her again!”

“It is always such a blessing for me to work with Mrs. Smith. She makes the whole process so enjoyable! I love how she strives to help the writer grow in the development of their stories. God has truly gifted her in this area, and it has blessed me and many others. She focused not only on the grammatical and contextual parts of my story, A Journey to Unshakable Faith, but also on the Christian aspect. Knowing her suggestions come from the same worldview I hold to is a great benefit!”

“Four years ago, we made one of our smartest decisions—promoting Katie to Senior Editor. While Katie had already been crushing it on our editorial team for years, her exceptional skills and dedication earned her this well-deserved role. The day she accepted our offer? Pure celebration mode. What sets Katie apart isn’t just her editorial expertise (though that’s world-class). It’s her heart she pours into every project. She treats each author’s work like it’s her own masterpiece. Here’s to Katie—four incredible years of making our books shine and our team stronger. We’re lucky to have someone who combines professional excellence with genuine care for every story we tell.”

“I am so very grateful to have had the opportunity to work with Katie Smith on the last several books I have written. She is a level above most other editors in the publishing world. She is intuitive, smart, and insightful. She elevates every project she works on, which is why she is such a sought-after editor. Working with her has challenged me in all the right ways and has made me a better writer. Her editing style really helps the author get to the heart of what they are trying to communicate. Every writer needs a good editor, and Katie is the best!”

“Katie is an amazing editor. She is dedicated to detailed editing and truly interacts with your work! She encourages her authors and guides them to the best possible manuscript through her edits. I have found her work to be top notch and seek to use her every time I have a manuscript that needs edited. From non-fiction to children’s literature, she’s the editor for you!”
