Overview
I love all things speculative fiction—from fantasy to science fiction, romantasy, paranormal romance, and everything in between. I work with authors at every stage of their writing journey, but I'm especially passionate about helping first-time novelists.
Whether you're planning to self-publish, seeking an agent, or just striving to make your story as strong as it can be, writing a book is an enormous journey, and I'm here to help you on the path.
My developmental edits dive deep into the foundations of storytelling, such as plot, pacing, point of view, dialogue, and character development. My feedback is often wide-ranging, constructive, and focused on solutions that fit your unique vision. Together, we'll brainstorm options, explore ways through tricky sections, and ensure your voice shines through.
With decades of experience in the writing and publishing world, I bring both craft insight and empathy to my edits. I'm an award-nominated author, hold a degree in English with Creative Writing, and have studied under writers like N.K. Jemisin and Elizabeth Bear. I draw on all of that to help your manuscript reach the next level—exploring new worlds, asking deep questions, and evoking powerful emotion.
Think of me as your story guide and creative partner: someone who will walk beside you as you bring your dream novel to life.
Together, we’ll nurture the heart of your book, sharpen its edges, and uncover the wonder that first made you want to write it in the first place.

PRAISE FOR MY EDITING WORK
"Working with Cae has been a pivotal moment in my author career. I will be referring back to this information for years to come, and it has absolutely changed me as a writer!"
- Bree M
"I can’t recommend Cae highly enough. While I will come out of this collaboration with a far stronger story than I would have, the most lasting thing I will take away is the educational value, which I can carry with me into my next project. I will definitely be requesting more developmental edits from Cae in the future."
- Charlotte W
"Are you looking for an editor that will go above and beyond to guide you on your journey to making your story the best it can be, with a great sense of humour, exceptional skill, and outstanding commitment? You've found them."
