What I Do
written work
When I am not working on my epic historical-dystopian feminist novel, I publish essays on my Substack newsletter and beyond.
video work
The Literary Baker is my home for dreamy mini-films that focus on books, cooking, mindfulness, baking, and slower living. I film them in and around my home, and write and record an original voiceover essay for each.
service work
How can I help you? I revel in everything from nitty-gritty copy edits to generative developmental book revisions. I delight in guiding writers, readers, and other creatives through the emotional complexities of living and creating in a chaotic world.
Reviews
“Kristina is an absolute delight to work with. You can tell that she not only has a skilled eye for editing, but also a heart for what she does. She has a gift for seeing your potential and knows how to take your manuscript to the next level. She is also able to do so without making you feel judged or embarrassed even for obvious errors.”
Lauren Matthies, Writer
“I've had the privilege of working with Kristina for the last two years through developmental, copyedit, and line edits of my third book. Her feedback is among the best I've ever had -- clear, consistent, specific, and with really strong suggestions for how I can improve character arcs, plot, and scenes. She's a consummate champion of my work, while always expecting the very best from me. She's also a lot of fun to work with!"
Gretchen Cherington, Author of Poetic License and The Butcher, the Embezzler, and the Fall Guy
“Kristina is the rare editor who can parse through my work and articulate the things bothering me in a piece, but I am unable to find myself. A real gift! She has a keen eye and always knows just what to do to make the work sing.”
