Meet the Editor

My name is Shanna Hovley. I’m an experienced Utah based editor excited to take your project to the next level. I love hiking in the mountains with my adorable dog and eating ice cream for dinner. I love fantasy and science fiction but also have a soft spot for a certain ghost hunting series by Jonathon Stroud.

Utah has a wonderful and incredibly talented author community that I’m proud to have been a part of since 2014. During this time in the community, I’ve edited numerous fiction novels as well as for serialized web content. I’ve also spent two years on the Storymakers Committee.

I’m experienced with the Chicago Manual of style and have skill with AP and APA. More importantly, I know when to strictly stick to the rules and when to break the rules to favor a strong voice and overall style of a manuscript.
