I am a amateur Artist looking to hone in my skills as a Illustrator. I enjoy working with people to produce art and Illustration that they desire, be it for themselves, as a gift or for a business. I Have Completed A Diploma in Art and Design, and have even trained as a tattooist. Most of my work currently comprises of personal commissions including Gift commissions and Logo design for Small business. My main Style is semi-realistic Anthromorphic animals (were-creatures) and fantasy fiction. I also find the challenges of conceptual design and character building very rewarding. Anthromorphic animals in a softer style than my original, leans itself to the children's book world and possibly media publication such us magazines, newspapers or product design.

Hello! My name is Tori, and I'm grateful you've found my profile. I've written dozens of novels and novellas and have been independently publishing them for the last six years. I'm familiar with every aspect of self-publishing--especially publishing romance. I'm also a freelance developmental editor for a traditional publishing company with experience in providing detailed developmental edits, copyedits, and writing product copy. Polishing your work can be incredibly intensive. It can stifle creativity, drain your energy, and cut into your time. Nothing sells your book like the next one; so while you're writing the sequel, I'll handle your edit. What if you haven't written a single word? Writing can be daunting. Can you wrap your head around 100,000 words? I can--and I have. Whether you have an outline or not, I can help you get started. And because I've edited multiple genres from YA to science fiction, and fantasy to romance, you can move forward with confidence that our collaboration will succeed. Ready to create? It's time. Let's tackle that ghostwriting or editing project together!
