Kyle Linkous

Hi! I'm Kyle and I earned my Bachelor's in pre-med before deciding to continue my education in publishing (yes, total 180 shift) and graduated with my Masters in Publishing from George Washington University. Edgy, creative, and collaborative, I have worked in both trade and academic publishing atmospheres, and am always looking to grow, mentor, and learn.

I have served as an editor, admin, gatekeeper, production whiz, and marketing guru. In other unrelated but fun news, I'm also a huge dog lover, music playlist curator, hot sauce junkie, and peanut butter aficionado.

My professional interest areas and experience include line and substantive editing, copywriting, marketing, and content writing. I'm that weirdo that has a favorite typeface, knows the difference between an en-dash and an em-dash, loves a good hedera use, and will die on the hill of forever including the Oxford comma.

Please feel free to ask me any questions you would like, and I hope to continue learning and growing in the ever-changing editorial field.

Proficient and creative professional editor with over 5 years experience developing copy and content for print and digital platforms that effectively engages audiences. I am known for my exceptional substantive editing skills, attention to detail, and adaptable communication style working with authors, publishers, and academic professionals. I have demonstrated exceptional leadership capabilities while overseeing and implementing new process workflows.

I have a proven track record of encouraging team performance, understanding and aligning my work with company branding, and delivering work in time-sensitive and fast-paced environments.
