🖋️ Publishing Services
Books are vulnerable things—so are the people who write them. Whether you’re polishing a heartbreak-heavy poem or prepping your debut novel for self-publishing, I offer editing and formatting services that treat your words with respect and honesty. I specialize in emotionally charged writing, strange love stories, and anything that doesn't quite fit the mold. From line edits to layout, I help you bring your vision to life—clean, clear, and true to your voice.
