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…

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.

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
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
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.

Help! I Think My Story is Boring

Writer and instructor Matthew Salesses said, “The best ‘advice’ I’ve ever heard on revision was from the wonderful teacher and writer Margot Livesey. It was something like this: if you are bored, it’s not because you’ve read that section so many times, it’s because it’s boring.” Welp. I suppose it’s best to leave our delusions…
