ABOUT KRISTEN HAMILTON, FICTION BOOK EDITOR
Kristen was the girl who, in grade school, would read instead of play at recess. She was soon reading five books a week. Obviously, she has had a passion for words her entire life.
Kristen earned a degree in English/writing at Boise State University and has over a decade of editing experience. To date, she has edited over 500 books, several of which have won awards and have topped Amazon’s best sellers lists. She began her career as a fiction book editor in 2012.
Kristen occasionally speaks at local events, including a presentation titled All About Perspective at the 2017 Boise Book Fest and The Basics of Self-Editing: Preparing Your Manuscript for a Book Editor for the Alliance of Independent Authors. She was recently interviewed on The Authors Unite Show podcast and is a regular panelist at WriteHive, where she has done popular presentations How to Write Eloquently and How to Get Your Book in Barnes & Noble Stores.
Alongside these achievements, Kristen continues to return to her passion: editing books. Today, Kristen works alongside fiction authors, teaching them how to improve their writing and publish a quality book.

KRISTEN’S APPROACH
As the only book editor at Kristen Corrects, Inc., Kristen personally edits every line in every manuscript—and loves it. There’s nothing quite like doing what you were made for. Working independently allows Kristen the opportunity to interact with authors and to know their manuscript intimately, providing highly individualized service. See what authors say about Kristen, or what to expect when working with Kristen.
Reading is Kristen’s passion, so when the workday is over, she can usually be found curled up with a good book alongside her three cats. In her free time she enjoys playing video games, dancing adult ballet, speaking French, watching scary movies, tending to her courtyard, and traveling to tropical destinations. She lives with her husband and son outside of Boise, Idaho.
Kristen is currently accepting all genres of fiction book manuscripts but is particularly fond of plot-driven genre fiction. Please contact Kristen for questions, book editing advice, or to see how she can help you advance to the next stage of your author career.
