How I found my Why:
In early 2018, I was nearing ten years of teaching English in China, and my husband and I were preparing to move to Germany that December. While I was ready for a new start, I was also nervous because I didn’t know what I wanted to do for work there. All I knew was that I didn’t want to teach English anymore.
The Fateful Day
In February, I was sent to a different campus. There, I met a new coworker, who happened to be a writer. I’d always been an avid reader, so I offered to look at his stories. That was when the stars shifted, and my life trajectory changed.
The Spark
I read his stories and gave feedback, and we had countless brainstorming sessions. We talked plot, prose, and characters for hours on end. I offered suggestions, and he ran with them. These creative collaborations left me feeling more alive than I had in years. I was hooked.
The Fire
One day, he told me he planned to submit a story and said, “I’ll need to hire an editor, of course.” I asked, “What exactly does an editor do?” After he explained it, I thought, I could do that. And so I did.
The Aftermath
Since then, I’ve devoted myself to storytelling. I’ve studied editing, creative writing, and story craft. I’ve taken courses, earned certificates, and read everything I could from editors and authors alike. I continue to self-study all aspects of fiction editing and writing.
This education has allowed me to help writers realize their publishing dreams. And now that I’m working with Inkitt / Galatea, the world’s first reader-powered publisher and the world’s fastest-growing reading app respectively, I’m able to help even more authors publish and grow their audience.
What This Means for You
You’re not just hiring an editor. You’re gaining a partner, one who’s as invested in your story as you are. You’ll get access to someone with a sharp eye for language, a deep love of story, and a commitment to your vision.
Whether polishing a final draft or untangling a messy middle, you’ll get help in shaping your story into its strongest form. With honest, constructive feedback, clear suggestions, and support that respects your voice.
You, your readers, and I all want the same thing: characters to fall in love with, worlds to get lost in, and stories that pull us in and don’t let go.
