About Karen

Karen_Harris

Almost twenty years ago, I discovered I had a knack for pinpointing the issues and opportunities in a manuscript—projects that won Romance industry awards and that hit the New York Times top ten.

As a freelance editor, I have helped launch the indie careers of authors on the USA Today bestseller list and at the top of the Amazon charts.

On my Projects page, you’ll find the covers of many projects I’ve edited.

See my Testimonials page to read what some of my clients have to say about my editing skills.

Eleven More Random Things to Know About Me:

  1. I’m intellectually curious.
  2. I love pop culture, particularly reality TV and popcorn movies.
  3. I was addicted to the Outlander novels long before Claire and Jamie came to TV.
  4. I know a little about a lot of things.
  5. I’m not a big sports fan, but I rarely miss a movie about sports.
  6. I edited a novel that has over 10,000 Amazon reviews.
  7. I once saw a ghost.
  8. I’ve read Stephen King’s entire Dark Tower series. In fact, I’ve read all his books. The exception is Lisey’s Story. Ironically, Nora Roberts described the novel as “at its core, a love story.”
  9. I’m excellent at internet research.
  10. I’m a Pokemon Go fanatic. It’s my go-to exercise app.
  11. I believe good editing is part art and part skill, combined with a passion for excellence and a dogged attention to detail.
