About Krista
I'm a copyeditor and a conversion copywriter.
I create detailed brand voice and editorial style guides for personal brands and businesses so they can:
• Onboard writers more quickly
• Reduce editing time
• End up with copy that consistently aligns with their brand's voice and style
• Publish better copy and content
If you want to bring on new writers but don't have a system for getting them up to speed quickly with your voice and style preferences, get in touch. I'll walk you through how investing in a style guide now can pay dividends for years to come.
Other services:
- Editing for copywriters
- Website copy reviews
- Email sequence reviews
- Copyediting and proofreading for Catholic publishers
I am American but have lived in the UK for 20 years. Therefore, I can edit and write in British or American English. I can also help you understand where there are differences between the two and help with document localization so that your message can sound more authentic to your target audience.

"Krista has been a valuable asset to our marketing department. Her strong work ethic, critical thinking skills, proactive attitude, and reliability set her apart. She is not only easy to work with but also consistently strives to deliver high-quality work. I look forward to continuing to work with her and appreciate her contributions to our team’s success."
- Andres Bahamon, Vice President of Marketing, Hire With Near
"Krista has been an amazing resource and asset to our editorial team. She has not only helped with proofreading many of our parish programs, but she has also stepped in as a copyeditor for one of our Catholic faith-based curriculums that is meant for both the parish and school setting. We are incredibly blessed to have her on our team. Her attention to detail, quick turnaround, and willingness to learn our different Style Guides have been a huge help as we work through finishing these big projects. Additionally, Krista's queries to our writers are always on point and help in ensuring that we deliver the most accurate and USCCB-ready text. We are very grateful to have Krista working on these projects and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a Catholic copyeditor/proofreader."
- Madelynn Felix, Production Editor, Augustine Institute
"Krista's work was a lifesaver, providing very quick turnaround and expertise in Chicago style. She was so helpful and thorough and communicated details and queries regularly. I'm so grateful!"
- A. French, Social Care Academic
"Krista is a highly qualified professional who helped me by proofreading complex academic and commercial texts. The fact that she is not an expert in IT or data science did not prevent her from accurately making corrections and suggestions for improving the text.
Krista answered any questions related to the task quickly, listened to my preferences carefully, and always gave a perfect result."
- Svetlana Bekker, Valiotti Analytics
