Kit Yona (he/him) does a little bit of everything at FindLaw, spreading his time between writing, editing, and publishing articles. If it has words, he wants to be involved.
Kit graduated from Fairfield University with a Bachelor of Arts in English and a minor in Psychology. He then earned a Master of Arts in English from Michigan State University. After graduation, he juggled running the family business with righting wrong writing as a freelance writer/editor/proofreader. With the sale of the business, Kit was finally able to focus on his preferred career.
Kit has written everything from college prep essays to answers for The Straight Dope. In addition to helping others with their writing, Kit’s work has appeared in several publications, including one of the lead stories in the Amazon #1 Bestseller Machine of Death. He has edited both nonfiction and fiction in about every genre imaginable.
An admitted word nerd, Kit is also a level three ice hockey referee, a first-degree black belt, and a board game addict. A passionate advocate for women’s rights, he serves as a team leader for MMA Clinic escorts. He lives in New Jersey with his wife, two kids, three dogs, and two cats in a house that is in no way large enough for all of them.
