Amelia Willis

Amelia Willis – Editor

Editor & proofreader of new age, esoteric and witchy books, as well as oracle cards.

Overview

My background is in art and illustrated publishing, where I have worked for close to a decade. Since 2023, I have regularly edited and proofread works in the mind, body and spirit genre, including non-book publishing formats such as oracle cards, journals, planners, diaries and calendars.

As an esoteric editor, herbal apprentice and witchy-inclined person, I love working with authors who are witches, occultists, herbalists, psychics, mediums, channels, energy healers, light workers, intuitive artists or anyone else walking an unusual path.

I'm an empathetic and straightforward editor. My philosophy is that editing is about making a piece of writing the best it can be, not about the editor ’being right’. If this sounds right for you, I'd love to chat more.

Please note I only offer copyediting and proofreading. My services are best deployed towards the end of your project. If you're in need of a developmental editor there are many wonderful other editors to choose from!

Other notes: I prefer not to work on books written by AI.
