Genres I work with
As of November 2025, I’m predominantly working on cosies, whether that’s cosy mysteries or cosy romances. I also enjoy cosy fantasy novels, family sagas, historical fiction about everyday people, and so-called women’s fiction. However, as I’m familiar with fiction in general, if you write in another genre, we might still be a good fit. Although, please note that I won’t edit anything with gratuitous violence. I also don’t work on erotica, stories with an overtly religious message, or AI-generated stories.
