Meet Kathryn

My name is Kathryn Tafra and I live in Preston, in Melbourne's northern suburbs. I have an undergraduate degree in Languages and Applied Linguistics (Griffith University) and a Masters degree in Creative Writing, Publishing and Editing (University of Melbourne). For several years I have worked, among other things, as a freelance and in-house editor and proofreader.

I have been a bookworm from my earliest days. I read voraciously as a kid, and as I grew up and bounced between different cities and jobs, the one thing that never changed was my love of language and the written word.

I have written reviews, stories, articles and love letters. I have written blogs, CVs, and a million assignments in various forms. I have even written a Masters thesis. And through all this reading and writing I discovered what I really love – editing.

It brings me so much joy to take a piece of writing, read between its lines, and make it the absolute best it can be.

So head on over to my contact page and let’s chat about how we can take your work to the next level.
