Our Team

Bekkah has a passion for reading everything and anything, which ultimately led to her completing a BA and MA in English Literature. She is interested mostly in literary, contemporary works, but is open to supporting the editing process for any genre.

With years of experience in writing, narrating, and teaching, editing was the obvious next chapter in his lifelong love affair with storytelling. Mitchell is passionate about helping writers refine their voice and shape their stories into their clearest, strongest form. He’ll give your work the care and attention it deserves—and, unless requested otherwise, he solemnly swears not to use his powers of weird phrasing for evil. Unless you ask nicely.

Erica has been editing since 2015, and loves reading the potential in stories, helping them to be realized in the author's vision. Though her editing preference lies with speculative fiction, Erica is open discussing any genre!

Kelsey Kicklighter is a Media Specialist, an editor, and an all-around lover of the written word. Her debut novel, Of Beast and Burden was originally published in 2022. The novel reached the Amazon Bestseller List for its categories on several occasions. She has a B. A. in English Literature, Emphasis Creative Writing from the University of Georgia, and a M. Ed. in Instructional Technology from Georgia Southern. While she’s never met a genre she doesn’t like, she has a special place in her heart reserved for all things 398.2: fairytales and folklore.
