Hello! Welcome to PEN in HAND Editing

As I already introduced myself, my name is Kimberly Laughlin, the sole proprietor of Pen in Hand Editing.

Among other things, I am a professional Editor, Book Editor - Copy Editor (Copyeditor) and Copy Formatter, Resume Writer, Copywriter, and Website Content Writer operating through my editing division, which was the original company that I established. I have always had a strong passion for words and writing, as well as an enthusiasm for assisting others with their written work, and I always thought I could be an editor. I finally got into professional proofreading, but that swiftly changed when my skills and experience were unexpectedly broadened.

Why Editing Services?

I love helping individuals with their writing.

I love being beneficial to authors—I admire their gift for writing.

I love writing or revising resumes for job seekers or individuals seeking a promotion.

My Document Editing Process

I designed this flow diagram (or flow chart) to illustrate my editing process, whether it be Document Editing, Proofreading, or Copy Editing. It often applies to Resume Editing and Revising as well. I don't need a flow chart to remind me of my own editing process—I designed it merely for illustrative purposes to demonstrate how I am very organized and structured in the way I operate within my editing projects. I have a certain system and protocol that I put into practice with every project.

The Book Publishing Process

(For those who do not know.)

Line Editing, Copy Editing, Proofreading, and Copy Formatting are all required in the book publishing process, even if you decide you would rather self-publish.

I can provide professionalism to you for your fiction or nonfiction book with any or all of these services. Whether you prefer for me to work on your book all at once or gradually, I can have it edited and/or formatted for: Hardback, Paperback, or Kindle eBook. I will gladly assist you however I can, and I will provide excellent results. By the time I am finished, your book will be publish-ready!

What I did for one of the authors I worked with who is now published:

I did all of the Copy Editing, Proofreading, and Copy Formatting for Kenneth Richmond as he was getting ready to self-publish his first novel (shown here). He had been struggling to find anyone else he was pleased with, so he had me do “the whole nine yards”.

His book is now published, and I am proud to say that my name is mentioned in the acknowledgments. I think it is a great story.
