I’m Karen Saari
I'm a writer and an editor. I love to comb through manuscripts looking for typos and loose sentences and making suggestions that will make your work shine. I like to teach clients how to write better or do it for them! I write and publish my own books and also publish books for clients. I enjoy the layout process and the whole step by step to publish a book. I enjoy the tedious process of writing quilt/sewing patterns, checking the math and then putting it all together into one pretty package. You can always reach me at karen@livinginserendipity.com or by leaving a comment.I Love Craftsy!

How They Make Pencils
As a writer you’d think I would go through pencils like Dorito’s. Nope. I write on my keyboard. And if I do write ‘by hand’ I like to use a nice pen. However, I am fascinated by how things are … Continue reading
