Things people said about our work together:
Kimberly is a writing lifeline. I needed a book coach to help get my manuscript back on track. I set the bar high: a professional who understands my genre (magical realism/speculative literary,) will help to keep me on pace, tighten my lines, brainstorm with me when I’m stuck and respect my sometimes- experimental writing style. It was a big ask! I interviewed several editors/coaches before connecting with Kimberly and from our first exchange, I’ve never looked back. She has been pivotal to my creative life and my development as a writer. I highly recommend her for your projects.
Kimberly is an excellent developmental editor, because her priority is understanding the story. Her method has always been to identify the strength and virtue of core ideas and suggest the most effective way to organize and communicate them. She has the professional experience of knowing what a reader needs and the best way to deliver an impressive impact. She is unbiased, objective, and focused on the virtue of the story itself while championing the writer's voice. Writers need a diamond cutter, and Kimberly is a dedicated master of the craft.
Working with you was the best decision I’ve made for my writing. Your comments, advice, and critiques pushed me to improve in ways that I don’t think I would have done on my own. Thank you so much!
A great editor can be hard to come by in this business, but what’s even harder to come by is one you can trust, confide in, and have complete confidence in. Kim Schebler makes sure to listen to you as a writer, to address issues professionally and empathetically, and to truly make a positive impact with your work in progress. I’m proud to have Kim as my editor.
I reached out to Kimberly following a recommendation from a fellow editor. The task at hand was to edit and proofread the Summer 2021 issue of Revealed x Curve Magazine, which is a 40-page highly editorial and content-rich trade publication. After an introduction via Zoom and a brief email exchange, I knew that I found the right person for the project. I was right. Kimberly is a delight to work with. She is a professional with excellent written and verbal communication skills, and, what is paramount when dealing with a complex project, punctual. Her editing style is clean, kind, and yields well-written, easily digestible, and elegant content that is a pleasure to read. Kimberly preserved the voice of each writer, which I value highly, being a writer myself. She was able to correct a myriad of grammar and punctuation issues, weed out typos, and improve the style. The result is the best edition of the magazine to date. I highly recommend Kimberly and can’t wait to work with her again.
Working with Kimberly is like working with a knowledgeable friend who’s just as excited about your project as you are. She’s imaginative and easy to work with. Highly recommended!
Even though I took a long time to rewrite my book, Kimberly was available after I was done and provided great feedback. She also did a professional copyedit and recommended areas for improvement. Her fact-checking was spot on, highly recommended!
Kim was very professional and quick to get my resume back to me. She took my resume notes and made me more marketable. The format she used was unique and I love it! I feel like it made me stand out during interviews. I am very grateful and confident with the work she did. I highly recommend her.
