For Authors

Let’s Do This Together.

Hi. I’m K Webster.

For over a decade, I’ve built a full-time fiction career, publishing hundreds of books, navigating trends, surviving market shifts, and learning (sometimes the hard way) what truly connects with readers.

Writing can feel isolating. Publishing can feel overwhelming.

You don’t have to figure it out alone.

I offer limited mentorship and story development services for authors who are serious about growing their craft and career.

Developmental Story Critique

Big-picture feedback with strategy.

This is for authors who don’t just want grammar fixes. You want to know why something isn’t landing… and how to fix it.

You’ll receive:

• A detailed editorial letter 
• Honest, thoughtful feedback on plot structure
• Pacing and tension evaluation
• Character arc and emotional depth analysis
• Trope execution and reader expectation alignment
• Market positioning insight
• Inline comments throughout your manuscript

I approach every project the way I’d want someone to approach mine: respectfully, thoughtfully, and with clear, actionable guidance.

Investment begins at $0.015 per word
(Example: 40,000 words = $600)

Other Editing Options

While developmental critique is my primary offering, I also provide additional editing services for authors who need more focused support:

Line Editing
Sentence-level refinement for clarity, flow, voice consistency, and emotional impact.

Trope & Market Alignment Audit
For authors who want to ensure their book clearly signals the right expectations for their niche.

Blurb & Sales Page Editing
Sharpen your hook, positioning, and reader conversion language.

Series Bible & Continuity Review
For multi-book series authors who need help maintaining consistency across timelines, character arcs, and world-building.

Pricing varies depending on scope and manuscript length.
Custom quotes provided upon inquiry.

A cover isn’t just art... it’s marketing.

This is strategic guidance, not just design feedback.
