Lisa Jo Symonds for The Hands that Held Me 5th Feb 2021
Shout out to the best editor I know! Katherine of Best Book Editors, the speed, professionalism, and quality editing services have helped make my book the success it is today! I wouldn’t be # 1 in multiple categories without your help! I have worked with many editors along the way and I can honestly say I have never been happier or enjoyed working with any more than I have you. Thank you for carefully listening, giving exactly what is asked of you, and I love the review of my book you wrote! You are SIMPLY THE BEST!
Writer’s in the #writingcommunity look no further if you need a high quality, professional editor.

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.
