Overview

It's a pleasure to meet you! My name is Tolly, and I'm a professional editor, proofreader, writer and narrative consultant, with a strong background in fiction novels, comics, graphic novels and magazines.

I have over 4 years of experience as an Editor for comics and magazines at Titan Publishing, the UK's leading sci-fi publisher, working for prestigious licensors such as Square Enix, Ubisoft, Bandai Namco and many more. During this time I was heavily involved with plot writing, character arcs, artistic direction and every other aspect of managing and editing books.

Just to list out the books I have worked on, I have been Editor for: Life is Strange, Sea of Thieves, Horizon Zero Dawn, Assassin's Creed, Dark Souls, Hard Case Crime Graphic Novels and many more. The genres I am most familiar with are Science Fiction, Fantasy and Romance-based narratives.

I'm here to help you realise your vision: storytelling is a very delicate but wonderful creative pursuit, and I have experience working with some of the best stories in the industry. My speciality comes down to narrative structure and character arcs, the backbone for any good story. More than anything, storytelling is a team effort and I have the experience to make your dreams a reality!
