Ethan Bowles
I love reading. We all do, right? That’s why we’re here. In particular, I love the incredible worlds that are so prominent in sci-fi and fantasy. Whether it’s a school of magic, the science behind a starship, or the ecology of an alien planet, I am absolutely obsessed with worldbuilding.
Over the last five years, I’ve worked as a writer for a non-profit, an English tutor for standardized tests, a proofreader for marketing materials, and an editor of books. Working with words in new ways, learning different formats and ways of looking at writing, and sharing my passion for literature with others is what leads me to these positions.
My editing philosophy
When editing, my goal is to make sure the story stays authentically yours. I want your characters, your worlds, and your stories to be as real to your readers as they are to you. To that end, I engage with my edits as a dialogue. I ask questions and make suggestions to draw what’s in your head onto the page.
I know what works and I know what sells, but YOU know your story.
