Hey, I’m Fae
Editor, coach, and fairy godparent to books that are ready to shine.
Jo March started it all.
As soon as I read Little Women, that fierce, independent, book-loving, March sister stole my heart and showed me just how powerful stories are.
Thanks to Jo, I didn’t just fall in love with reading.I fell in love with voice. With rhythm and character and the magic that happens when words click.
I was that kid who wrote stories instead of playing outside. Who tripped walking home from school because I couldn’t put my book down.
These days, I’m that adult who will absolutely cry about fictional characters on your behalf. (Ask me about Isola Pribby from The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society. Just be warned, I can talk about her for a long time.)
I’ve been making a living with words since 2008
I started as a copywriter and brand voice strategist, and later added nonfiction editing and ghostwriting to the mix.
When I officially stepped into full-length fiction editing, I realised my slightly unconventional path into the industry had perfectly prepared me.
Instead of fitting neatly into an industry box, I’d built a career learning how to hear voices, and bring them out more boldly.
That’s what I do now. Whether I’m editing or coaching, my work is about giving your story the space to become the strongest, truest version of itself.
Or as I like to tell my clients:
🪄 Don’t change your book to fit the industry. Hone it to fit you
Credentials
Member of the Editorial Freelancers Association
Master of the Arts in English literature
Seventeen years in the field as a copywriter, non-fiction editor and ghostwriter
When I’m not word-wrangling…
You’ll find me:
Caring for my beloved betta fish
Reading oracle cards (yes, for myself and my authors)
Watching Friends or Derry Girls for the hundredth time
Hugging trees
Drinking far more tea than is reasonable
And reading. Always, always reading.
I’m here to support and champion authors, especially those who’ve been told they’re too much, too weird, or not enough.
I love working with new, neurodivergent, and anxious authors to shape stories in ways that truly work for their brains. As an ND creative myself, I know how often traditional writing advice misses the mark, and how powerful it is to have support that honours your process instead of trying to change it.
I’m on a mission to tell authors “You matter, your story matters, and the perfect readers are out there waiting for your book.”
