Katie and her editing team enjoy working with authors passionate about sharing their expertise to help others grow. They especially love collaborating with first-time indie authors writing nonfiction business, self-help, and how-to books.
Katie also works with fiction authors who want hands-on, craft-focused editing to strengthen their storytelling.
Over the past nine years, Katie, a former English teacher, has personally edited 223 nonfiction books, working closely with authors to bring clarity and polish to their manuscripts. Since launching her agency last year, she’s led a dedicated team committed to maintaining that same high standard of editing.
Katie and her team offer a hands-on, collaborative editing experience and a unique combined editing package that includes substantive (developmental) editing, line editing, and copyediting—all at a reduced rate compared to booking services separately. This streamlined approach saves authors time and money while ensuring a high level of polish and clarity throughout the manuscript. After editing, team members can provide professional proofreading and formatting services if you’d like one team to guide you from manuscript to publication.
As an educator at heart, Katie has built a robust resource library to support authors at every stage. She and her team are happy to discuss edits, answer questions, and adjust processes to ensure a smooth and confident collaboration.

"Katie was amazing to work with. She did an excellent job with my non-fiction book on sales, providing copyediting as well as some developmental editing. The recommendations she made (such as moving certain paragraphs, or adding a few points, or adding sub-sections to chapters) were all spot-on and helped to improve my book tremendously. Her suggestions also showed me that she was truly "getting" my book and paying close attention to the message and how to best deliver it. As a first-time author, it meant so much to me to have her careful attention and expertise. I highly recommend her services, and can't wait to recommend her to the next person I know who is looking for an editor."
—Robin Treasure, author of Heart-Powered Sales
"Katie and her team at Beacon Point exceeded all my expectations. Their editing process was incredibly thorough, with detailed feedback delivered well ahead of our agreed deadlines. The team maintained consistent, professional communication throughout the project, and their rates offered exceptional value for the quality of work provided. Their insights significantly strengthened my manuscript while preserving my authentic voice. I'm particularly grateful for the thoughtful suggestions on structuring concepts and maintaining reader engagement throughout the book. For authors seeking professional editing services, Beacon Point is an outstanding choice."
