Get to
know me!
In the realm of storytelling, every word holds the magic of meaning.
I've been writing stories long and short since my formative years, but it was my first encounter with media and communications as a teenager that taught me the true depth a story can contain, how the smallest details can have significance. I pursued that interest in storytelling and world-building through to university.
​
With a background in media and culture and a passion for storytelling nurtured throughout my academic journey, I ventured into marketing and content creation roles. During this time, I developed a passion for working with authors as a professional beta reader before officially retraining as a fiction editor in the summer of 2019.
​
In November 2019, I established EC Editorial. Since then, I've had the pleasure of supporting authors and publishers with over 100 literary projects, from first drafts to final.
"Where are you from?" is my least favourite question. Born in Yorkshire, I grew up across South East Asia from the age of six. Home is difficult to define for me, so to keep it simple, I just look for where my dog is!
I am endlessly fascinated by horror as a genre. For my university dissertation, I wrote an analysis of how society and culture affect horror across the world in three areas: reaction, reason, and resolution.
When I was no older than five, I wrote my first story: Peter and the Hedgehog. It was inspired by an episode of Come Outside I'd been watching earlier that day. And I've not stopped writing since.
