“Being an author can be lonely a lot of the time. When I hired Kimberly as my editor, I gained so much more than an editor. I had someone who truly believed in me and the stories I write. I gained a friend.

I was able to customize a package that worked for me: a beta read, copy, and line edit. She goes the extra mile and immerses herself in the story. Her notes were beyond helpful—and whenever I had a question, whether it was Chicago-style related or if I was just bouncing an idea off of her, her advice always came back thoughtful, nonjudgmental, and straightforward.

I highly recommend Parker Mayne Editorial and Kimberly Steinke for your editing needs!”

— Dillon Bancroft, Author of The Sage Creek Series

“Kimberly provided a straightforward contract, easy payment links, knew not to overwhelm herself so that she wouldn’t miss a deadline, despite my deadline being before she had time (I adjusted my timeline), and she produced on time. The edits were perfect. I couldn’t have asked for a better read of my 97,000-word document. I plan to use her in the future and recommend her to my friend, a publisher.”

— Melissa Cook, Author of The Call of the Last Frontier

“I am starting out in the writing realm, and I was very hesitant to send my work to anyone. Kimberly really helped with my confidence and skills as a writer. She tactfully gave me help and guidance to make the best story I can write. I never felt embarrassed or demeaned. She helped me to know that I can improve and keep on going. I will definitely be using her services in the future.”

— Julianna Clark Davenport, First-Time Author

“I decided to go with [Parker Mayne Editorial], passing over all of the other offers. It was the best decision that I had ever made, aside from writing my book. Kimberly is amazing and everything that I needed. She is very good when it comes to making sure that everything is going well with going over edits, and she is always prompt. I would recommend her to anyone who is looking for an editor!”

— Anna Prater, Author of the Gould Girls Series

“Kimberly has taken on several editing contracts for us at DarlingAxe.com, both as a beta reader and proofreader. In both capacities, she has done extremely well. As a beta reader, she has the highest rank on our roster because of her thoughtful and thorough feedback. We will definitely be relying on her more in the future.”

— David G. Brown, Senior Editor, Darling Axe Editing

“Kimberly Steinke has been a proofreader for the Wild Rose Press for two years. Her edits are accurate, thorough, and tactful, without overstepping the parameters of her role. I can recommend her proofreading skills without hesitation.”
