Ms. Editrix
Ms. Editrix was founded in 2018 by Kim Lancaster, a lifelong creative herself who fully believes in the “second act” of career and life. Innovative, flexible, and always respecting the vision and opinion of the author, Kim and the rest of the Ms. Editrix editorial team adapt to the needs of the project, the desires of the author, all while personalizing service to accommodate the unique needs of every client.
Kim has a distinctive and personal approach to editing, a word sherpa, carrying the mundane so the author can continue to pursue their vision. She has limited her scope of only accepting novels, books, poetry, and screenplays to focus on the specific needs of the author and to provide the most individual attention to your aspirations.

Her coaching support is grounded in the knowledge of what is necessary to create a relationship that the writer can flourish in and produce their best work.
