Editing with care, clarity, and collaboration
Hello! My name is Kelby Cottenie, and I'm a full-time editor based in Regina, SK on Treaty 4 Territory. I offer a supportive, thorough editing process that emphasizes careful attention to detail, clear and encouraging communication, and thoughtful feedback. I particularly love editing fantasy, sci-fi, poetry, psychological nonfiction, and memoirs, but I enjoy getting to engage with just about any type of work.
With attention to inclusive language, I specialize in copyediting, proofreading, structural/developmental editing, and manuscript evaluations, all of which you can learn more about here.
Whether you're preparing to submit a manuscript to a publisher or pursuing self-publishing, have a piece of writing you love but are unsure of the next steps, or simply need a fresh set of eyes on a document, I would love to offer you my support.
