Qualifications

Amberly Smith, Lead Editor for Kuznya Freelance


For the last five years, I've facilitated and run the critique service End Results for the Coeur du Bois Chapter of Romance Writers of America. Additionally, I served on the board for Popular Fiction Association of Idaho and was a final judge for the Bloody Pen award for three years. Since 2012 I've been a first and final round judge for Elisa Rolle's international Rainbow Awards.


I hold an Associates degree in English from BYU-Idaho and a Bachelor’s degree in Organizational Communication from Kaplan University, where I graduated on the honor roll.


Since 2003, I've provided content editing and proofreading for independent authors, covering a variety of fiction genres including romance (all sub genres), young adult, mystery, speculative (Sci/Fi and Paranormal) and historical fiction.


From 2004 - 2009, I was head editor for a nationally distributed, monthly newsletter on writing and the publishing industry.


Since 2000, I have provided business editing for non-profit and corporations, including annual reports, policy and procedure manuals, training material, web content, business blogs and newsletters.

Currently, I am a multi-published author through Dreamspinner Press and am pursuing self-publishing. Find out more about my books on my website www.amberlysmith.com.

Most importantly, I firmly believe that a good critique includes not only what is wrong, but ways to fix what's wrong. If you decide to work with me on editing your genre fiction, I guarantee you'll feel empowered by my feedback and have an improved manuscript.
