A Note from the Founder...
I received my Bachelors of Arts in Writing and Publications in 2016 from University of North Georgia and my Masters of Arts in Publishing from George Washington University in 2024. I also possess a Certificate in Creative Writing from Wesleyan University. I started my own photography business in 2013 to make extra income and have a creative outlet while going to college. That business exceeded all my intentions and hopes for it. Over the ten years I operated, the business flourished and evolved from just photography into a branding business. I realized that I had a passion for cultivating others’ visions. I would work with brands to create their mission, graphic and website designs, and photography for their businesses that included headshots, live working shots, and more creative/artistic projects. I learned that it was a magical thing to take someone and their dreams and be able to help them communicate them effectively to the world in their own tone and style. Through this time, I learned editing programs, graphic design, website design, SEO, marketing, business collaboration, and more.
I have since moved on to teaching college writing courses, where my passion for helping others has flourished. I love books and stories. I am a reader, writer, and designer. I want to take the multitude of skills I have learned through owning my own business and through my education and create something new and unique. My dream has always been to become an editor. I love grammar and line editing. I love reviewing character arcs and plot holes. I love working with the author to achieve the best version of their work. I want to cultivate a relationship with authors where they feel confident that I can give them an honest, intentional opinion on their project the whole way through.
The pinnacle for creating this business comes from my own journey as an author and a member of the publishing community. I want to give power back to the writers, artists, and dreamers. I want to take your vision and build an entire world around making is successful. If you want an editor that will truly listen to you, who will guide you with factual evidence on grammar, plot, character, format and more, who will get just as excited about your project, who will be your partner, cheerleader, and biggest supporter, then I’m your girl.
