Hi, I’m Kristyn—the face behind Delightfully Booked Edits.
Before stepping into the editing and publishing world, I worked as a speech-language pathologist, where I developed a strong foundation in language, communication, and clarity—skills that naturally carried into editing.
Over the last 4.5 years, I’ve proofread and line edited almost 100 books while working closely with authors as a PA behind the scenes. My primary focus is now line editing, with additional proofreading/light copyediting services available as needed.
I am a Silver Member of The Christian PEN (Proofreaders and Editors Network) and continue to strengthen my skills through The PEN Institute. Alongside freelance editing, I currently work for Sunrise Publishing as a line editor, as well as their Innovations & New Projects Specialist—giving me experience with both the creative and technical side of publishing. I love helping authors strengthen flow, polish sentences, and create manuscripts that feel seamless while still preserving the heart and voice of the story.
When I’m not working, you can usually find me hanging out with my husband and two boys, reading multiple books at a time, watching my favorite sports teams, or reorganizing my bookshelves for the hundredth time! You can follow my editing page @delightfullybookededits or my bookstagram page @delightfullybooked for fun content!
The top of my bookshelf has been feeling a bit left out lately, so here ya go! 🫶🏻

I can’t believe it’s already release day for @marilee.loves.to.write and her debut, A Courtship of Conspiracies!
I’m glad she kept this a secret for as long as she did and already had the ball rolling when she announced she was moving from Bookstagrammer 👉🏻 author! That way, I didn’t have to wait too long to get my hands on it.
So proud of you, Marilee 🩷 Can’t wait to dive in!
Description:
James Campbell, Earl of Brenton, is an agent of the Crown hunting a killer. Driven by grief and a relentless need for justice, he has followed a trail from the country’s darkest corners to the most powerful circles of high society. After a string of reckless choices, James must prove his steadiness by securing the marriage society expects. It should be a simple matter of duty…until the captivating woman in question proves to have a talent for finding trouble and unsettling his carefully laid plans.
Lady Katherine Sutherland has spent her life balancing society’s rigid expectations with a guarded secret of her own. When a startling discovery draws her into a web of treason, Kate finds herself on a collision course with the very man she is expected to marry—the one man capable of uncovering the truth she has spent years hiding.
As a deadly conspiracy closes in and an unseen enemy tracks their every move, James and Kate must decide what they are willing to risk for the truth, for the Crown, and for each other. In a game of shifting loyalties and precarious alliances, falling in love may be the riskiest move of all.
A Courtship of Conspiracies begins a new Regency spy romance series, full of intrigue, danger, and all the swoon without the spice.
EAT THE CAKE by Annie Cathryn will be here before you know it! July 21 is the DAY!
I adore @msanniecathryn and her books! The Friendship Breakup is still one of my faves!
EAT THE CAKE description:
Leah Wright spends her days advising thousands of podcast listeners on how to live their best lives. But since her husband Elliot died, she has been running on autopilot—until a very public on-air meltdown forces her into a mandatory leave of absence. With her career at stake and her sponsors wavering, Leah is finally compelled to confront the silence of her empty home.
Then, the impossible happens.
A bouquet of flowers arrives at her door with a note from Elliot. Hidden among his belongings, Leah discovers an itinerary for the surprise trip to Florence that he never had the chance to give her. Urged by her sister-in-law to find closure, Leah flies to Italy, only to uncover that Elliot has left her one final gift: a scavenger hunt through the winding, sun-drenched streets of the city.
As the clues become more personal, the mystery deepens. How could he have known what she would need to hear months after his death? To find the final message, Leah must stop hiding behind her podcast persona and confront the secret guilt she has been carrying—or risk remaining broken forever.
Review:
This book will break your heart a little, but Annie does an amazing job navigating grief, reconciling the guilt Leah has, and creating a heart-warming adventure to find healing.
What’s your favorite kind of cake? 🎂
