editor. writer. reader. story advocate.
I’m Ali, a Melbourne-based editor, writer, and story coach with over eight years of experience in publishing, editing, and story development. I like to think of myself as a professional reader—but editing involves so much more than just reading. It’s about listening to the story under the story, asking the right questions, and helping writers find clarity and confidence.
I’ve worked across genres and forms, and I know firsthand how daunting (and lonely!) the writing process can be. My job is to bring insight, encouragement, and a sharp editorial eye to every stage of your project.
"there is nothing higher than fiction. nothing. it is fundamentally who I am. I am a teller of stories."
