Meet Peter
Editor
With a rich background in academia and primary healthcare, I bring a keen eye for detail to every project. As an editor for an international publishing company, I blend my professional expertise with personal passions, including science fiction, fantasy fiction, graphic novels, gaming, history, and social sciences. As a writing coach, I can help find your hidden talents and gifts waiting to emerge.
I am proud to identify as neurodivergent, from a migrant family background, and as a queer ally, which gives me insights into diversity, inclusion, and representation in works. My dedication to health, spirituality, social justice, and the arts and sciences fuels my commitment to helping all writers succeed. Whether you're refining your manuscript or seeking guidance on your writing journey, my diverse experience and passion for language and storytelling ensure your work will shine.

"You don't write for success. That takes part of your attention away from the writing. If you're really doing it, that's all you're doing: writing."
—Frank Herbert
Peter was instrumental in the Norse Goddess Rune Oracle winning 2nd place in the International CARTA Awards for 'Aspiring Debut Author'. His ability to provide clear editorial guidance whilst remaining true to my intentions and soul as an author made working with him a dream. He has a vast knowledge of audience demographics and can create magick from your words to ensure what your heart speaks is what your Seekers hear. I am so grateful for Peter's knowledge, talent, humour and efficiency as an editor (especially working with complicated Old Norse words!) & hope to work with him again soon.

I had what seemed like a lifetime of writing that I just didn't know how to bring together. Peter helped me determine themes, a structure and processes to take my work through. His coaching has helped me create a final piece I'm excited to take to publishers.
