Krista Zimonick

I'm a copyeditor and proofreader with a well-attuned ear and a keen eye for catching errors in children's books and academic work. I hold a bachelor of arts degree in English literature and a masters degree in English, as well as a certificate in editing from Poynter University. I've continued to develop and hone my skills by completing courses through the Editorial Freelancers Association. Since 2019, I have copyedited the work of hundreds of satisfied clients, including over two thousand children's book titles (picture books, easy readers, chapter books, middle grade novels, and children's nonfiction) and dozens of academic works, including research proposals, dissertations, and theses. I'm proficient in Chicago and APA styles. I love helping writers tell their stories as clearly and effectively as possible. I look forward to working with you!
