About Kayleigh M.

I\'m the founder and owner of In the Margins Editing & Writing Services, where I help fiction writers to craft their stories and meet their goals. I\'ve also built a career being seen as a jack-of-all-trades. My curiosity, creativity, and inner nerd have made me a strong writer and communicator with a knack for unique problem-solving and a love of weird font facts.At the end of the day, it comes down to this: I live and work by a core desire to learn. If I don\'t know the answer, I\'ll find out; if I don\'t know how to do something I need to do, I\'ll learn.Some of my favorite feedback:\"I wish you could be the COO of my life.\"- from a friend and former colleague\"You can see the fire before anyone else even smells smoke.\"- from my former director\"You do so much. Your 100% is like someone else\'s 120%.\"- from a former colleague

Experience

1. Beta Reading

   In The Margins Editing Services

   Jul 2022 — Present

   Maybe you’re not ready to spend on a developmental edit, or maybe you’ve already gone through one and are looking for feedback on your revisions. Whatever the reason, you know that you’ve taken your own revisions as far as you can go and now it’s time to find out if your reader is picking up what you’re putting down.Here\'s what you\'ll get with a beta read: 1 read through of your completed manuscript Light comments in the margins with reactions, questions, etc. a short note summarizing my perception of the story, what I see as it’s greatest strengths and weaknesses, light suggestions, and answers to any targeted questions you had going in* Beta reading is not a substitute for developmental editing and will not result in the same level of feedback, but it can be an affordable \"temperature check\" option for those who cannot invest in a proper edit
