Kevin Shamel – Editor

Fiction writer and editor. I'm both a writer and reader of weird fiction, from speculative to bizarro (which encompasses every genre--it's just weird). With nearly twenty years experience as a professional author and editor, I have a love for helping others achieve their dreams of publishing the stories they create. I am a fan of independent voices and self-publishers. I'm well-versed in interior and exterior design.

I've worked with new writers to develop and publish their first books as well as helped others continue their success as authors. I have an eye for detail, and the ability to offer edits in your voice. I believe the best editing comes with skill and empathy. I'm here to make you shine.

Do not send me AI garbage. Gross.

“Kevin’s strength as an editor is in meeting you where you’re at, and then helping you elevate from that point. He is able to easily see your vision, and help you master and execute that in the most effective way possible, while remaining true to your voice as an author. “ --Constance Ann Fitzgerald (author of TRASHLAND A GO-GO and GLUE)
