Contact Me

Let’s talk about your book project and find out whether I’m the right editor for you. Please fill out the form below or contact me at carolina@carolinavonkampen.com.

If you want to meet with me before you send me your manuscript for a quote, or if you’re more of a video call person, I offer 30- or 60-minute consultation calls through Upwork. In this call, we can talk about what to do with your manuscript after you’ve written it: what type of editing you may need, book design, self-publishing, querying agents. Book on Upwork here (but please fill out my contact form too so we have a line of communication off the Upwork platform).

I’m currently booking full-length book projects for October/November 2026 and beyond but may have availability for shorter projects or work from returning clients or publishers sooner. My next availability for a query letter package or manuscript evaluation is September 2026.

A heads up: I’ll generally ask for a copy of your full manuscript before providing a quote. You can send me your full manuscript through the purple button below the contact form.

Tell me about your project *

Tell me about your publication goals for this project (self-publishing, querying agents, etc.)

Tell me about the rounds of revision this project has been through (self-edits, beta readers, critique partners, AI feedback, professional editors, etc.)

Has any of the manuscript text been generated by an AI tool? Have you used any AI tools for any part of the writing or editing process? If so, please let me know which tools and how you’ve used them.

Note: I don’t use AI tools or programs in my editing process or business, and I’d like to know if you used a generative AI tool to write or edit your manuscript so I can better determine if I’m the right editor for you. Let me know what programs you used (Grammarly, AutoCrit, ChatGPT, Gemini, Copilot, Claude, etc.) at what stage of writing and revising and how you used it. The more details, the better! Read my full AI policy under my About menu (also linked in my website footer).
