Kendall Davis - Editor

I plan out the editorial vision for the site, and I partner with my writers to help them both hone their skills while also writing to the voice and vision of Petful. I also do basic editing and formatting on posts, while managing the editorial calendar. I'm also partnering with a colleague to help grow the site's social media presence, and have helped them launch an Instagram.

I articles that skew towards entertainment, feminism, "geek culture" (sci-fi, fantasy, comic-con, etc), pop culture, science, and technology. All articles are written in a voice that matches the individual outlet's brand, and represents the company culture and identity.

I acquire and develop authors and content, as well as line edit manuscripts. I also have ghost-written a few books for higher profile authors. Additionally, I keep an eye on the market for areas that are currently underserved or overserved in our imprints and pursue authors and topics according to what I find. I also work on a team that develops unique products created in-house like adult coloring books and journals.

In addition to administrative duties, I helped manage the blog and social media platform of our new imprint, Convergent. I edited blogs published on the Convergent blog, and sought out new voices for the imprint and the imprint's blog. I worked with new voices to craft an idea and a proposal, I performed content edits on some of our books, and I reviewed book proposals from both agented and un-agented authors.

I have helped writers craft proposals, line edit, content edit, as well as completely re-work books. I've worked on fantasy novels, romance novels, inspirational fiction, middle grade fiction, and memoir.
