A note from Anna: Hello! I pour my heart and soul into every project I undertake, and I enjoy working closely with my authors. You'll never just be my client; we'll be friends, companions, and confidants in your work. One author I worked with said, "[Anna] was the most patient, professional, and kind person I have ever worked with. . . . Her expertise with structural components of book development transformed my writing into a compelling work of art." And this is exactly what I take pride in!
Have a manuscript that's completed but needs a loving touch? Have a book idea you know needs to be out in the world but aren't sure where to start? Somewhere in the middle of the two? I adore working on philosophical sci-fi, space operas, high fantasy, complicated magic systems, D&D-esque adventures, dystopias, apocalyptic stories, and character-centered works. Reach out, and I'll help you bring your ideas to life.
