Editing Services
Could you use some assistance with a piece of writing? I love helping people achieve their goals for their writing, and I’d be happy to work with you on either a book-length project or something shorter.
About me
My name is Katie Haegele, and I’m a founding member of Consonant Collective. In addition to writing professionally for over 20 years now, I have also worked as an editor in a variety of professional environments. I have previously worked as a section editor for both a business trade magazine and an alternative weekly newspaper. As a reviewer for Study.com, I edited dozens of lessons on a wide range of topics, from architecture to early childhood education.
These days I edit manuscripts for publishing houses (including Microcosm Publishing), which means I work with an author from the development stage of their book through to final copyedits and layout. I also edit the text of every release Consonant puts out, and I am a reader for the flash creative nonfiction section of Hippocampus, a literary magazine.
I hold a Certificate in Editing from Temple University.
Get in touch
If you have a project you need support with, I can doing either developmental edits or more nuts-and-bolts copy and line editing. I don’t charge a set rate since projects vary, but to get an idea of the average editor’s rate per hour and working pace, take a look at this chart drawn up by the Editorial Freelancers Association. I offer more flexible rates for mutual aid and nonprofit organizations, so just ask!
If you think you’d like to hire me, please fill out the form below and describe your project, your timeline, and the kind of support you need. I’ll respond to your message promptly and we’ll discuss how to proceed from there.
