Poetry & Picture Book Editor

Welcome, writers!

Burgundy inkwell and quill.

If you’re looking for an editor for your poetry or picture book (or perhaps both!), I’d love to be that person.

As a trained poetry and picture book editor, my goal is always to have my clients walk away more in love with their projects than they were before. Editing with care, respect, and open communication, I help writers feel confident in putting their work out into the world.

Let’s get you falling deeper in love with your work!

Meet Kaila!

I’m a freelance poetry and picture book editor who loves helping clients bring out the best in their writing. When I’m not editing, I’m likely writing, reading a fantasy novel, or dreaming about something fictional.

What clients have to say

I’m glad I decided to work with Kaila! I really wanted someone who is a true professional and also able to appreciate my poetry. I felt very comfortable throughout the whole process, she always communicated the various steps of proofreading. Her reassurance was highly appreciated. Thanks to her, I now feel even more confident to let my book out of my hands and launch it into the big wide world.

It was a pleasure working with Kaila on my children’s book! I greatly appreciated her professionalism, kindness, and great communication and proofreading skills and would definitely hire her again!

– Amber Bajema, Maddie’s Colors
