About The Editor

The English language has been a passion of mine for as long as I can remember. In 2014, I graduated with a BA in education specialized in the English language, and I've been teaching English as a foreign language ever since.

​

In 2018, I started on my own writing journey and self-published my first novel in the summer of 2019. What really inspired me, however, was helping other authors on their journey, help polish their work until it shone and was ready for publication.

​

I opened Spirit Editorial in 2020 with two things in mind; to use my passion for the English language to help indie-authors publish the best version of their book and to make it affordable for everyone.
