I work primarily on comics, graphic novels, and webcomics. This is my specialty and the main reason I started this little freelance business.
I also work on novels, blogs, articles, technical writing, and even transcript proofreading when I have a break from comics. For more info about these services, visit the THE SIDE QUESTS page. The homepage is all about comics!
Whether this is your first issue or you're already multiple issues in and want to officially bring an editor onto your team, I'm here for it. You'll get thoughtful suggestions that add to your vision while still keeping your script in your voice. I do as little or as much as you want me to while still letting you know my honest opinions on your work. I'm here to help improve your work, not make this even more stressful...plus, if you feel the need to yap to me about what you're considering throwing at readers, then let me tell you, I am here for that tea!

You made a comic, I have thoughts.
And by thoughts, I mean reaction comments, conversations with your MCs, emojis in the margins, and, of course, the sass that makes reviewing your script feel like I'm right there next to you.
Listen, I take your work seriously. You can expect honest feedback, a ton of personality, and someone who is in your corner from the beginning. I skip the awkward getting-to-know-you stage and jump right into convos like we've been friends for YEARS.
Remember, these are your characters, your story, and your way. I'm just here to make sure you're aware of whatever is happening on page 3.
