Why work with me?

As a Hay House and Rockpool author, I know what publishers expect, and how to bring clarity and elegance to even the most mystical of manuscripts. My background in runes, esoterica, and storytelling means I can intuitively align design with your voice. I’m not just a typesetter, I’m a fellow creator who understands the weight of your words.
