editing that feels like magic
collaboration, care, and clarity
Editing doesn’t have to be scary - in fact, with the right editor, it feels like magic. Every author deserves to have their manuscript treated with passion and enthusiasm, to have an editor who sparks new ideas with a simple suggestion, and edits their story to the highest standard to foster trust in their readers.

Hi, I’m Keely
I’m a bookseller and freelance editor. I’ve worked with publishing houses, individual clients and authors on varying stages of their manuscripts, from beta reading and manuscript assessments to developmental and copy edits.
I have a deep love for all kinds of stories, including speculative fiction, weird and dreamlike literary fiction, queer and poly romance, and female rage and anti-capitalist stories.
