  My studies centred around languages, literature and cinema research. After graduating from a Master’s degree in Japanese language and culture, I worked in a hotel for seven years as a receptionist, then assistant manager.
I always loved writing and fell in love with editing through a writer’s group where we critiqued each other’s work. It was time for a change of careers to reconnect with my passion: stories. So I studied fiction editing and did some freelance beta reading in the meantime. I now freelance as a developmental and line editor. I specialise in fantasy, romance, horror, and queer books.
