I’ve loved editing for years, and still remember my elementary school days, when I would cut out examples from my grammar homework so I could study them more in my spare time. I’ve since earned a degree in writing and several certificates in editing (through places such as the EFA, Club Ed, and Liminal Pages, for proofreading, copy editing, line editing, and developmental editing) and have gone on to publish several fantasy novels. My specialty and passion lies in supporting other queer and neurodivergent indie authors, particularly within the fantasy (adventure, urban, paranormal, romance, mystery, etc.), sci-fi (space opera, military), and romance (contemporary, spicy, closed door) genres. I look forward to helping you take your novel to that next level so you can finally make your dream a reality! Partnering with me ensures your project goes out ready and polished so readers can concentrate on your words alone.
