About the Founder

Hi! I’m Ayee — Bookworm since 1995, turned blogger in my teen years.

I followed the quest by studying literature in college, and taking Creative Narrative and Poetry courses to appease the Muses who chanted incessantly if not listened to.

After 10 years of supporting Indie Authors and having the honor of reading their novels in advance, I developed an eye and a taste for spotting typos, plot holes, and powerfully delivered sentences, which led me to start offering various Literary Services.

Sometimes, I wish I could pause time to read more — and I’m still waiting for my Hogwarts letter, or to have secretly inherited a dragon.

What can we do for you?
