GENESIS DESIGN AND EDITING
Editorial & Desktop Publishing Services
Genesis Design and Editing is an all encompassing editorial business. I have done editing for 25 years from newspaper to literary works. I've taught journalism and basic English classes as well as workshops for college students in writing. As a writer, I've been a journalist, and have been published in an arts and literary magazine. Whether you need the basic editing of proofreading or line editing, more comprehensive editing to include substantive and developmental, or even a ghost writer, I would be proud to help you bring your work to life.
​
I am recently proud to announce that services now include book formatting, e-book formatting, cover design and helping you with uploading to your choice of sites to include: IngramSpark and Amazon. Let us serve you in all your pre-printing needs.

PAY WITH PAYPAL
At my first writing conference, author Jane Candia Coleman said, "Putting meaningful words on paper is like opening a vein and drops of your life's blood are put into words as your heart and soul are poured out for all to see." These words touched my soul as I experience this feeling every time I sit down to write. Nothing could be worse than to send your work off to an editor and YOUR VOICE has been changed. At Genesis Design and Editing I'm proud to let your voice ring out clear and true!

TESTIMONIALS
What They’re Saying
I REALLY loved working with Kat! She didn’t just edit my book, she taught me why and how she edited so that I could correct it in my later books! I was blown away by the amount of respect she had and she got done 3 weeks earlier than expected! Highly recommend!
Emily Duncan
she is a prime example of perfectionist. My first book and it feels good. I was discouraged at first because my grammar was very poor but she helped me alot. very very good editor and i will be working with her in my sequel. Highly recommended!!!
Rushane Reid
Kat Knott was the primary editor on my last two books, ‘The Prophet’s Stone’ and ‘Lt. Reilly and the Black Bird Offensive”. As an independent author, I have to contract all my services. It’s very difficult to find professionals on a limited budget. I’m very happy with the quality and professional standard I received from Kat. I plan to continue to work with her on my future books.
Matthew O. Duncan
Awesome job on editing my book. Kat’s heart and willingness to work with me exemplifies Jesus! Thank you!
Carie Smith
To my editor Kat of Genesis Design and Editing, LLC. You coached me and guided me through the post production and editing process. I appreciate you for allowing me to go through the editing process together in which for me was a very unconventional way to, what I thought was, the usual book writing process. You have taught me invaluable information as I move forward for my next writing project. You came into my project at just the right time and were able to be those final eyes of detail that caught all of the nuances that were glossed over. I cannot thank you enough for your diligence and thoroughness making the final manuscript worthy of the expectations that I was looking for.
Douglas J Boggs
I would like to thank my editor Kat Knott of Genesis Design and Editing. Kat has been a valuable resource of knowledge, a creative partner, and a fast friend. She has taken my marble statue, smoothed out the rough edges, and added layers of polish until it shines like a field of snow on a clear winter morning. We’re gonna tell the world many great stories together Kat!
