It takes a village to pull the ideas out of my mind and create the books you hold in your hands. I couldn’t possibly do this without an incredible team behind me.
Meet the Team!
Editors
Amy McNulty
I HAVE A PASSION FOR THE written word–and for making other writers’ works shine. Since starting my book editing business, I’ve been proud to help shape dozens of books in preparation for indie publishing that you’ll now find on sale as well as manuscripts eventually submitted to agents and editors.
I specialize in romance (including erotica), speculative fiction, and contemporary in YA, NA, adult, and MG, but I’m open to manuscripts in any genre.
I have over seventeen years of experience writing and editing for private clients, entertainment sites such as Anime News Network, and multi-national corporations such as Johnson Outdoors. With a YA fantasy trilogy that originally debuted in 2015 (The Never Veil Series) followed by almost two dozen more novels (in the fantasy, sci-fi, and contemporary romance genres under multiple pen names) and time as an agented writer, I also have direct experience with the publishing world.
Lloyd Taylor Thomspon
I’VE SPENT THE PAST FIVE years working as a professional editor and proofreader for local magazines, websites, small business owners, and independent authors and content creators.
I work with you to improve your content and make it sing! Whether you’re a writer looking for feedback on your manuscript, a small business owner searching for someone to edit your marketing materials, or a student with a paper due, I provide you with the edits and comments you need to take your writing to the next level.
Beyond the necessary knowledge of style, grammar, punctuation, and spelling, I offer my clients an open-mindedness and a curiosity that drives me to edit and rework content with you at the forefront. You will never receive a document back from me without questions and comments meant to guide you.
I have a B.A. in English Literature and Creative Writing with minors in Spanish and Journalism and an M.S. in Technical and Professional Communications. As a member of the Society for Technical Communication and the Editorial Freelancers Association, I take part in training sessions, conferences, and networking events to ensure I remain up-to-date with industry best practices and standards.
Ashley Olivier
AFTER ATTENDING HONORS CLASSES in English in high school and achieving above average ACT scores in both Reading and English, Ashley was able to skip ahead in certain college classes at Delgado in New Orleans while attending for her Creative Writing degree. It was during this time that she managed to intern at Forsaken Press Publishing as Assistant Editor and Social Media Marketer. After her internship was up, she nailed a job at both Bayou Queen Publishing and Creative James Media.
Since that time, she has joined Midnight Tide Publishing, Tala Editorial LLC, Silver Shell Publishing, and Vibrant Designs LLC. She is now in the process of getting certified to teach English as a second language (ESL). Additionally, she is a proud member of ACES: The Society for Editing.
After gaining so much experience in various publishing houses and by also rolling her sleeves up and diving head-first into the self-publishing industry personally, Ashley possesses considerable knowledge in both editing and proofreading. She has edited several successful books by authors large and small, as well as presses. She knows what sells in the market today.
She rigorously follows the Chicago Manual of Style, and she applies precise attention to detail to all projects she receives.
When she’s not up to her nose in editing projects, she’s working on her personal writing endeavors, which includes an international bestselling YA fantasy series under her real name and a steamy PNR series under a pen name, where she also delves into dark romance and mythology. As an avid book lover, she’s always wanted to work with books, and she’s happy to say there’s never a day she doesn’t get to read.
