Hello!

I’m a freelance editor, self-published author, mother of two late-teen awesome humans and one big fluffy cat.

​

Originally from the south of England, I’ve lived in the glorious land of Aus since 2000, the last 14 years in Perth, Western Australia. (I feel very lucky!)

​

Words are my medium! Be it reading, writing, playing Scrabble, Bananagrams or Wordle, fiction, non-fiction, paperback books, Kindle or even on my phone – I love diving in, playing with, creating and shaping words.

​

I’ve been a copyeditor since 2011 after getting my Diploma of Publishing (Professional Book Editing, Proofreading and Publishing).  

​

Since then, I have edited novels, non-fiction, memoirs, theses, resumes, websites, essays, film scripts, and brochures.

​

As a writer, I know how much effort goes into creating a piece of writing, so I always treat my client’s work and feelings with respect. All my edits are suggestions, and I will explain why I’m making them. My aim is that my editing makes the author a better writer.

​

Please see some testimonials from happy clients.

​

I have also guided many clients through the self-publishing process and have run courses on how to self-publish.

​

Please contact me below if you want to find out more about me or my offerings.

​

Warmly, Karen

​

PS As an aspiring writer, I have made that dream come true by self-publishing my own cozy mystery series. For more about my author credentials please go to www.karenperadonauthor.com
