“Sheila Arellano is a brilliant, thoughtful, and incredibly thorough editor. Her feedback on my manuscript was always grounded in craft and attentive to the vision I had for the work. She focused closely on what was on the page and offered insightful, practical suggestions that helped me strengthen the story I was trying to tell. I came away from her notes with a much clearer understanding of my manuscript and how to move it forward. I would wholeheartedly recommend her to any writer looking for a perceptive and generous editor or beta reader.”

About Me
Storytelling has been my companion in life. I published my debut novel at nineteen and have written three books since. This has allowed me to understand all stages of the creative writing process. I know writers’ struggles: feelings of doubt, overwhelm, frustration… And I also know how crucial it is to have support while working on your novel. With eight years of writing experience and a Creative Writing Degree, I can offer that essential support and guidance. I want to help you achieve your highest potential and show you exactly how to write your dream book.
