Why Me?

As a developmental editor and writing teacher, I’ve worked with hundreds of writers—
some with serious publishing ambitions and some
who are just serious about learning the craft.
Here’s what they say about me…

Kim Lozano recognized my unique ability as a writer long before I did. She became my cheerleader and coach. She believed I was a writer and pushed me to submit my stories for publication. Her thoughtful coaching guided me to write with clarity and confidence.
Vivian G, author of The Last Children of Mill Creek and Missouri Library Association Author of the Year
Working with Kim was eye-opening. After decades of critique groups and beta readers, Kim’s thoughtful insights proved invaluable. She dug right down into the heart of my characters and pulled the strings on all their flaws, helping me to create well-rounded and interesting players.
Emily B, Historical Fiction Author
Every time your [Kim’s Notes] comes to my inbox, I get so excited, just as excited as I was when my Seventeen magazine would show up in my family’s mailbox.
Jane C, [Kim’s Notes] subscriber
Kim’s the real deal. She’s experienced, enthusiastic, and best of all, encouraging. She asks the right questions and offers suggestions to elevate your writing to the next level.
Terry B, Middle Grade Author
Your [Kim’s Notes] are opened and read first whenever they show up in my day’s emails.
David W, [Kim’s Notes] Subscriber
The best decision I made in my writing journey was to engage with Kim Lozano. She encouraged me by emphasizing what worked well. More importantly, she challenged me with the right questions to give my opening pages the focus they needed. Kim helped me shape my novel in a way I couldn’t have done myself.

When writers sit around chatting about their writing rituals, you’ll hear talk about what, if any, music they listen to, their favorite type of pen,…

Thoughts on Nick Hornby’s Dickens and Prince

The other night I was telling my husband that the vault of Prince’s music contains an estimated five thousand to eight thousand *unreleased* songs. That’s a ten-song album every six months for the next three or four hundred years, I told him. “What, did you go down a Prince rabbit hole or something?” he asked….

Avoiding “Practical Action” Sentences

One way you can up your writing game is to challenge yourself to look for and eliminate the vast majority of “practical action” sentences in your prose. I’m referring to those functional movements your characters make to accomplish basic tasks. Things like coming downstairs in the morning or walking across the kitchen. The underlined sentence…
