(Word) nerd alert.

Welcome to Katherine Monasterio’s big wordy portfolio site.

Katherine Monasterio is an editor and author who lives for strengthening the written word.

As an editor

I specialize in developmental editing for fiction—you know, plot, pacing, character arcs—but have plenty of experience as a proofreader (whoops, that dialogue’s missing a quotation mark) and copy editor (wasn’t the sword in her left hand before?).

As an Author

If you know one thing about me, it’s that I write. When it’s stories I want to share with the world (as opposed to fandoms that enjoy the concept of mutual pining), it’s usually short fiction, and I’ve won a few awards for those stories. See Work for more.
