About

Are you ready to embark on a successful writing journey?

If so, you’re in the right place.

I’m Rae, a speculative fiction author and freelance editor, and I’m here to help guide you on the exciting journey that is writing. 

I know that navigating the writing process can often feel like navigating the wilderness: there are doubts, wrong turns, and setbacks, and sometimes it seems like everybody else is better prepared than you are. 

But there is also magic, adventure, and the thrill of the journey on the way.

That’s why I started NorthernWords Editing: so that your writing journey feels less like wandering the wilderness and more like turning your writing dreams into reality.

Are you ready to level up your writing? Start here:

I live sandwiched between the wilderness and Lake Superior in northern Minnesota, where I’m working on my upcoming fantasy fiction novel, I Am the North.

I’ve edited and proofread books, articles, essays, and even an academic textbook, but I have a special place in my heart for fiction.

In addition to NorthernWords, I also work as a freelance journalist. You can find more about my writing in my portfolio.
