As an editor and book coach, I

I’m not one to subscribe to catch-all writing rules or trite platitudes. Each manuscript is considered within its own parameters, with distinct goals and possibilities, accountable only to the author and the desired outcome for their work. I’m committed to an author-focused process designed to shape your work into its best possible self.

I am currently open for consultations. If you’re interested in learning more about my services or rates, please contact me. My rates are generally in step with the Editorial Freelancers Association (EFA) but I offer a sliding scale based on your concerns about the manuscript and the current state of your work.

Sometimes, the world isn’t nearly as safe as everyone thinks. The universe is far more alive, more intelligent, more calculating than anyone actually knows, and its battle isn’t over yet. A decade since the war ended—mere blinks from conflict exploding once more—the continent’s heroes are about to realize they were always destined to be the universe’s saviours, or perhaps, the universe’s destroyers.

✮ ✮ ✮

For almost a decade, Emilia has been running—from her past, from the person she once was, from the war and destruction that ripped her country, her soul, her very core apart.

She has a good life. She has friends and school and the normalcy that she always craved. She doesn’t miss her old life—not often, anyways. She’s locked her ability to miss away, along with so many of the skills that made her a so-called war hero.

Emilia always knew the normal, relaxing life she carved out for herself wouldn’t last. So, when a series of events bring old friends and scars back into her life, when the government sponsored raids—ostensibly meant to keep Baalphorian citizens prepared for another war—start to spin even more out of control than they already were, when secrets about the real reason behind the war and the universe itself start to echo out into the world, Emilia knows it’s just a matter of time before she has to stop running.

A winding, slow-burn horror with LitRPG elements and romantic subplots, [Can’t Opt Out] features a diverse cast of characters, all scarred and altered by the war that ravaged their continent for two decades. They are heroes, and they are broken. They love and hate and mourn for all the friends they lost during the war, for all the people they couldn’t save. After a decade of near peace—of a new world being forged around them and under their own influence—they think the war is done.

It isn’t—the universe and its enemies aren’t nearly finished fighting.
