That title was a mouthful, wasn’t it? Well, my week is just as insane sometimes, you could say. It’s felt more that way, too, since I moved in with my boyfriend two months ago. Well, the idea of having my own place and living on my own must have triggered the part of my brainContinue reading “How I Manage My Time As A Freelance Book Editor, Soon-To-Be Indie Author & Arcade Assistant”

Book Review: Ocean Heart by Ally Aldridge
You might have to call me biased for this review, but honestly, I don’t care! I’ve known this author for a few years now, as we met online through Instagram, but actually met at a YALC convention at London Olympia a couple of years ago. We both love YA books and were both planning onContinue reading “Book Review: Ocean Heart by Ally Aldridge”
Happy Birthday Hooked On Words Editorial!
How time flies! I still remember when I first decided to create my little editing business two years ago. I’d been working for a charity in London as the Head of Literature, organising the charity’s book blog, writing book reviews and much more, running a book tour and organising workshops, as well as trying toContinue reading “Happy Birthday Hooked On Words Editorial!”
Book Review: A Trial of Sorcerers by Elise Kova
I’ve been reading more indie books lately, mostly through watching a lot of authors talking about their books on BookTok, but I wasn’t even aware Elise Kova was an indie author at first. I first read her novel, A Deal With The Elf King, which I thoroughly enjoyed and will probably review on here atContinue reading “Book Review: A Trial of Sorcerers by Elise Kova”
The World Of Disney & Its Influence On My Writing
Where did I get the inspiration for writing this blog post? That would probably be the fact I’m sitting here right now, watching Tangled on Disney +. I love this film! As a kid, did you and your siblings ever have that one film you’d watch on repeat? Well, Tangled was that film for us.Continue reading “The World Of Disney & Its Influence On My Writing”
Book Review: The Marionettes by Katie Wismer
Isn’t that cover gorgeous? I’ve been reading a lot of books by indie authors recently, but I thought I’d let myself get sucked into this book, since the author is going to be editing my first novel in January, and I wasn’t disappointed. If you’re a fan of Sabrina’s Chilling Adventures on Netflix, you’ll probablyContinue reading “Book Review: The Marionettes by Katie Wismer”
Cover Reveal – Steel Princess, my YA Debut, Coming July 2022
Do you love stories with slightly futuristic elements, but also a fantastical twist as well? Think, Marissa Meyer’s Cinder, Spare and Found Parts by Sarah Maria Griffin, The Kingdom by Jess Rothenberg, and more? Well, my first novel has androids and cyborgs, but it also has pirates, elves, mermaids and sirens as well. I hopeContinue reading “Cover Reveal – Steel Princess, my YA Debut, Coming July 2022”
How I Became A Freelance Editor
Ever since I was little, I’ve always loved books – reading and writing them. My sisters and I used to walk up to our local library and bring home about four or five books at a time, and keep them right up until the two week limit. This carried on right through secondary school, whenContinue reading “How I Became A Freelance Editor”
Becoming An Indie Author
Big news! This week, my first book’s cover has been designed, and I couldn’t be more in love with it. Even just seeing the mockups and how they’ve been changing, and speaking with my cover artist, has made everything so much more real. I’ve been working on this book since I was in my AContinue reading “Becoming An Indie Author”
2021 Reading Goals
Since I posted my 2021 writing goals yesterday, I thought it was fitting that I also give my 2021 reading plans for the year! In the video below, I talk through some books that have been on my TBR pile for a long time (some of them – years!), which I plan to finally sinkContinue reading “2021 Reading Goals”
