Question Time
Learn more about KLS and how we work.
Good question! At KLS, we recognize that every author has different needs. Whether it's the way you spread the cost of the literary services you take, the mix of British and American English spelling and grammar rules, how much time you need to go through your edits, how much communication you want, the type of feedback you want or don't want, how you want to interact with us, or how far in advance you like to plan, we are happy to be flexible and adapt to your needs.
​
We realize that a one-size-fits-all approach is never going to work in our industry, so tell us what you need, like, don't want, and desire, and we'll do our best to work with you to make it happen.
There are a few things that our clients say sets us apart from others.
​
✨We care about more than your words. We take time to get to know you, so we can develop a more personal relationship with our clients.
​
✨We are clear and concise in our communications and expectations of our clients. You will always know the date and time we expect information from you. We work with clients all over the world and our team is based across the globe, so we take care of the time zone magic! We will update you as necessary with new information, and we don't send unnecessary emails.
​
✨We can't guarantee it every time, but we often deliver projects a little early, giving you more time to go through things.
​
✨Our processes are straightforward, and we pride ourselves on responding to inquiries quickly.
​
✨We don't just "fix" things, we try to explain why we make suggestions so you can grow as a writer.
​
✨We are used to working with debut authors and are happy to answer any questions you might have.

It started as a result of Kat continually finding errors in the books she was reading for pleasure. She just couldn't turn off that part of her brain. Then, she was approached by an author to proofread her books. Once she started, things just snowballed. Instead of this being her side hustle, she quickly realized that she was so passionate about it that she was ready to leave her twenty-plus years in healthcare behind her. It also meant she could work from home full-time and be more available for her child who has extra needs or as she likes to call them—superpowers.
In the beginning, it was just Kat, but since then, the vision has been to become a one-stop shop for authors. Providing as many services in one place as possible. The services menu has grown extensively from just proofreading to over ten different services and many packages. KLS is now a team of six women based all over the world, providing services to authors spanning the globe.
