​

I'm an independent editor and author who loves everything fantasy and sci-fi.

​

As an independent editor, I primarily work with indie authors and am passionate about supporting and encouraging indie publishing overall. For this reason, I offer competitive pricing and free editing advice to help authors become better at self-editing their manuscripts. You also won't catch me recommending an editing service I wouldn't personally pay to have done on my own manuscript and I talk a lot about strategies to save money on your manuscript's edits while still getting the most polished product both here and on Threads and Tumblr. 

​

I'm a huge fantasy nerd and consider this space to be my specialty. I love nothing more than a good Elder Scrolls conspiracy theory, can wax poetic about the injustice of the fandom's treatment of Sansa Stark, and will never entirely forgive Leigh Bardugo. I'm passionate about anything to do with dragons, lost civilisations, and magic systems.

​

For those seeking editors with lived experiences similar to characters in their work, I'm a lesbian, cis-gendered, third generation Australian and culturally western.

​

I have been editing professionally since 2015, but focused my attention on fiction in 2020. I have provided copy and structural edits for several online publications, most notably Purple Sneakers magazine. Since shifting my focus to fiction, I have assisted several authors with their manuscripts and am especially passionate about developmental editing and story critique. I hold a Bachelor's Degree in Arts from the Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology (RMIT) and a Post-Graduate Diploma in Professional Writing and Editing from Deakin University. 

 

I am trained in using several style guides including:

​

• Australian Style Manual,

• The Chicago Manual of Style (the standard for publishing in the United States,)

• New Zealand's Style Guide,

• The United Kingdom Style Guide.

 

This means that I can provide copy edits, line edits, and proof reads in Australian, American, New Zealand, and British English. If you speak another English dialect, or speak English as a second language and are unsure which dialect you wish your manuscript to be in, I'm happy to discuss this with you in more detail.
