Path to Editing
I approach editing from a story-first perspective, focusing on how a narrative is being told rather than just how it’s written. I look at structure, pacing, character, themes, and setting, considering how all the moving parts work together to create an immersive reading experience.
With a background in film and experience as an editor for Peruse Zine, I bring an instinct for story beats and emotional framing, often reading a story as though it were a sequence unfolding on screen. I’ll help make sure your story feels intentional, cohesive, and fully realised.
