Best Book Editors who edited my very first children’s book made everything so simple. Her communication was fabulous. I didn’t have to reach out to her to receive a response. Not just that but she gave me a due date for when she would be finished editing my book.
Well, we went through only one editing phase, and she was able to complete the editing before the due date that was provided by her. How awesome was that? To me that was absolutely awesome. She even gave me a little tweak of what would help my book sound great.
I just love her and will continue using her service. Not to mention, if I haven’t already, she is very professional; which I highly recommend her services to anyone.

Katherine Black / Susan (Sooz) Simpson
Founder of Best Book Editors
Katherine has held almost every single job imaginable, from painting gnomes to zookeeper. She spent most of her life in the caring profession and has managed both a nursing home and a care agency. But her passion for the written language always brings her home to novel writing.
Born in Tyne-and-Wear, North-East England, she has settled in the beautiful Lake District, Cumbria, with her partner, two dogs, a cat, an iguana and a python (just don’t ask her which of those six things is her favourite!).
She specialises in content creation and social media outreach, and has been a developmental editor for hundreds of clients. She owns and operates bestbookeditors.com where she helps foundling authors polish their skills. However, after being diagnosed with a dramatic brain condition in 2022, she has had to let 23 staff go, and scale back the business. BBE is still very much open, we are just fewer and can’t take as much work on.
Katherine Black is the author of psychological thriller/detective/fantasy adventure novels.
