About

I am an experienced and qualified UK copy-editor, proofreader and writer.

I am passionate about the written word in all its forms and a stickler for getting it right, from a single blog post to a lengthy manuscript.

As the former editor of a parenting and lifestyle magazine, I know what makes interesting copy and how to achieve it. My features have been published online and in national and international publications on a range of subjects.

As a copy-editor and proofreader, I work across genres and my clients include high profile businesses and publishing houses. Over the years, I have built up a reputation for helping companies and individuals to achieve polished, error-free copy and hit deadlines.

I work with many debut authors to help them fulfil their dream of becoming published. If you are a first-time indie author and unsure about the self-publishing process, I can guide you. I have personally self-published several books; three anthologies and a series of specialist quiz books.

I work with people of all ages and from all walks of life on projects large and small. I am always happy to have an informal chat to discuss your ideas so please don’t hesitate to contact me: kim.kimber@rocketmail.com / 07882 188526.
