Crafting Words & Creating Worlds
Welcome! I’m so glad you found your way. If you’re here, you probably have a love of magic – in particular, that special magic only words can create.
Me too. I have a passion for sharing stories. My first published piece was a short story in my school library when I was six years old. I haven’t looked back since! My debut novel, Taking Flight, will release in early 2025.
I love helping authors polish their work before they put it out for readers. You’ve poured your heart and soul creating a world as unique as you are. Let me help you make it shine!
Books
Airships, elemental magic, and fae come together in my turn-of-the-century fantasy debut, Taking Flight. When pirates interrupt Sira’s final flight exam, getting a passing grade comes second to a greater need: survival. Coming early 2025.
Fiction Editing
Professional, affordable editing and proofreading. My favorite is in speculative fiction—fantasy, sci-fi, paranormal, dystopian, anything with a touch of other—but I’ve edited everything from contemporary to non-fiction. Just ask!
Beta Reading
Every author needs a new set of eyes. Whether you need someone to help straighten out the part that’s slowing you down, point out inconsistencies, or just give it a read to make sure you’re on track, early feedback helps your story shine.

Kelly worked with me as an editor on the next book in the Traveling Chicken and Monster Show Adventure series. She not only catches all of the punctuation, grammar and tense issues but she is able to point out the holes in the plot. Her questions make me stop and think about what I am actually trying to say. Which then makes it much easier (or sometimes much harder) to match the sentences to the meaning. I am absolutely loving the process. If you need editorial work, I strongly recommend reaching out to Kelly.

Kelly is an absolute pleasure to work with, both professional and kind. She did the proofreading for my novel Order of Terra and she was efficient and thorough. She answered my grammar questions and gave me additional feedback about my writing when asked. She communicated throughout, letting me know her progress and her schedule. I want to hire her for all of my edits on all of my future books!!

I found Kelly on TikTok and immediately loved her vibe.
I’ve been writing for YEARS but was never quite ready to take the plunge and do the self-publishing thing. When I decided to try self-publishing my novella, I took a look at Kelly’s website and reached out for a consult. We clicked IMMEDIATELY.
Kelly did a free sample of my first chapter and blew me away with her attention to detail and thoughtful comments. I immediately hired her on to do the rest of the book. As she was working, I eagerly checked my email every day to see her new chapter edits and comments come through. Kelly was thorough, helpful, and even noted laugh out loud moments and emotional beats that stood out to her. I CANNOT recommend her highly enough–she is the best editor I could’ve asked for and I can’t wait to work with her again.
Let’s Work Together.
