MEET THE SHE-WOLF OF EDITING!
In the most basic terms, I am a lifelong, prolific editor, writer, and bibliophile. My earliest inspiration came from an elementary school English teacher, who noted my unique voice as a writer (my howl, if you will) and told me to pursue it, feed it, and never stop refining it. And there were only two ways to do that: keep writing and keep reading.
As a young adult, I discovered a new passion: encouraging fellow writers by helping them develop their story concepts, fleshing out ideas, and providing a second set of eyes to ensure the final product looked its absolute best. I realized the editing process wasn't limited to my own work, but an invitation to explore a new wild landscape of world-building, birthing characters from the clay of imagination, developing the logic and rules that govern this world, and creating fantastical beasts to occupy the realm. It was a terrain I had navigated many times as a wayward pup of a writer, and still continue to explore with each new story idea, but I realized it was meant to be a cooperative, collaborative effort. A place where unique backgrounds, world views, and personal journeys were meant to be brought together and celebrated.
The idea for WolfPack Writing Services
Has Deeply Personal Roots…
Wolves have been my favorite land animal since I was a child, a passion I share with my dad. From him, I get the crazy "what if?" ideas that rip the door of possibility right off the hinges and send me down rabbit holes of which I think Lewis Carroll would be proud. From my mom, I get an eye for grammatical perfection, the "nitpick" part of my brain that takes a sentence, tweaks it, checks the tweak, and tweaks it again until it sounds just right. In marrying these two sides of my brain, I've found a perfect match as an editor. Not unlike the perfect match that are the alpha pack leaders, I meet you as a fellow writer, excited to delight in this new world you've created, and as an editor, ready to dig deep into the rich earth of your world, your characters, and work with you until we're both looking at a true work of art.
Rudyard Kipling wrote that "the strength of the pack is the wolf, and the strength of the wolf is the pack," and I believe this is absolutely true for writers and editors - hence the fusion of Wolf and Pack in my business name! We succeed through collaboration, through the uniqueness that is our craft, and especially through the passion we have for our art. Strengths are celebrated, areas of improvement are nurtured, and together we run the sprawling plains, climb the snow-capped mountains, and finish together, each the better for it.
BRING YOUR PASSION, I’LL BRING MINE…
Let’s create this world together.
