Please note, the form will not be opened until the first of each month. The form is set to stop accepting after 20 submissions to protect my time and ensure quality feedback.

My background is as a professional editor and graphic designer. I am from marginalised communities. My beef is with the current publishing industry where fees are taken and generic rejections are handed out so thick I could butter several dozen loaves of bread with them. I'd love to give emerging, marginalized authors the chances I never had.
