Welcome to Foxx Editorial. If you’re ready to take your manuscript, query package, or short/flash fiction story to the next level, you’ve come to the right place. Writing and editing are not easy! The path to publication can feel insurmountable. But, like many challenging things in life, you can’t go over, under, or around them—you have to go through them. That’s where learning and growth happens. That’s where the magic happens. And that’s where I come in! I can help you find a clear path through those revision challenges and get you closer to turning your publication dreams into a reality.
Please note: if you’re looking for my literary agent website, you can find that here. (I’ve recently begun as an Editorial Assistant at The Rights Factory in Toronto and will soon be building my client list as a literary agent! Please note: I am unable to offer representation for a manuscript I’ve been hired to edit.)
Who am I?
I’m Kathleen, owner and editor at Foxx Editorial, editorial assistant and literary agent-in-training at The Rights Factory in Toronto, and contract proofreader at Rising Action Publishing Co. I am a proud member of Editors Canada and previously, the 2022-23 Primary Co-chair of the Hamilton-Halton branch of Editors Canada. I offer advice from the mindset of a writer, an editor, and upcoming literary agent. Head to the About section to find out more.
A career in the publication industry means I get to combine two of my biggest passions—stories/storytelling and helping others—and put them into practice every day. I do this because I enjoy the art of writing and shaping stories and because it brings me joy to help others strengthen their writing skills and move past their vulnerabilities.
Whether you’re looking for guidance into the next stage of your draft, help generating ideas in an area you’re stuck on, or a set of professional eyes to tidy those typos (and more!), I can help you polish up those pages and get them ready for querying or publication.
If you’re prepping to query agents or publishers and need help perfecting your submission package, check out my pre-recorded course on crafting Queries and Synopses! See details here!
Under Services in the menu above, you’ll see a variety of ways I can assist you in achieving your writing and publishing goals. If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to reach out.
My Blog will feature posts that cover topics in writing and editing. Here, you’ll get tips and advice on all the writerly things. Do you have something you’d like to learn more about? Contact me—I’d love to hear your suggestions! Catch my weekly #badasswriters podcast episodes where I give writer advice on all kinds of topics and interview authors, booksellers, agents, acquisitions editors, and other industry pros to help give writers the confidence and know-how they need to put their work out into the world! Be sure to follow my author account on Twitter as well. I post daily questions to help writers analyze their work and share in the highs and lows. Look for the hashtag #kfoxxdaily.

You can expect to see it roughly every month or two and it may include helpful and entertaining resources such as links to recent #badasswriters podcast episodes. When you subscribe, you’ll get a FREE downloadable PDF of my 10-page Character Development Sheets to help you in your fiction writing journey.
