Meet the Editor

HeadshotDenver2.jpg

I work with authors who are anywhere from shaping their early drafts to polishing their manuscripts. Whatever their stage, my primary goal is helping writers uncover their message and communicate it to readers.

​

Along with most genres, I enjoy working with suspense, fantasy, horror, and other dark fiction. My love for modern horror in particular lends to my deep understanding of immersive storytelling, emotionally satisfying plotlines, and the quirks of the horror genre. But no matter the project, I strive to help authors shape their stories into the emotional experience they envision.

​​

By night (or whenever else I can find the time), I'm a horror writer and member of the Horror Writers Association under my penname, Roxanne Klimek. You can often find me at critique groups in Seattle where other trusted writers give me insight on my own blind puppetry.
