About Me...

Hello!

Carly here. Just a kind and lovable book lover with a language obsession.

I love books. I have a strange, perhaps unhealthy obsession with them. I think about them all the time. Not just in terms of plot, story, or message. No, I think about how it was crafted. I think about the author deciding to add a particular element. I think about character growth, foils, and plot structure. I think about things some people never spend two minutes on.

​

Now, I could consider treating this odd characteristic of mine. But, I decided to create a career instead. I love spending my days honouring your work and helping it reach its highest potential.

​

I love to read. I read fiction and non-fiction. I read crime novels, cozy mysteries, romance, literary fiction, women's fiction, police procedurals, fantasy, and more. I also read poetry, memoirs. children's development and psychology books, psychology, books on mental health, and more. I read... a lot.

​

I didn't think I would ever like audiobook. But then I became a parent. Oh, and I have fibromyalgia which sometimes makes it hard to hold the book up after a day of work (it is also why I started knitting on a loom, but, I digress). So, needless to say, I embraced the audiobook. I now have love and respect for all book forms. 

​

I love to write. I mostly write short stories and fiction, as well as creative non-fiction. I also do some poetry. I enjoy writing the odd vignette, too. 

​

I have been an editor for many years now but I found book coaching a little later. I realized how much I love to help an author realize the gold they already have. Sometimes a piece of the basic blueprint is a little out of place. Knock it back in you're often good to go! I also love the knowledge I gained of the publishing industry as a whole and how to really help my clients get published.

​

I mentioned I am a parent. Right. Back to that. My daughter is a truly mischievous delight and my goldendoodle is a laid-back gentle giant. I will just get this out there right now — my daughter's middle name is Hermione and my dog is named Weasley. There. Now you know. Generally, my husband and I try to burn their energy out together on the trails nearby our house. 

​

I want to help you achieve your dreams. As an editor, I will help you polish your manuscript to and get it ready for publishing. As a writer, I want to help craft the message you're looking to send. 

​

As a book coach, I will help you get your book started, finished, or moving again after a delay or block. I am compassionate and I know what it's like to be putting a beloved story onto paper. 

​

Beyond all that, just know that I love writing, I love the English language, and I love to focus on the tiny details that make all the difference in the world of writing and publishing.

​

Oh, and if you're ever looking for me, you'll find me in a comfy chair with a cat, a cup of tea, and a good novel.
