DARK WREN CREATIVE's goal as an editor is to form a relationship with writers seeking a trusted partner who shares the desire to make the work as good as it can be. They work to understand the writer’s goals and together they evaluate if they can be of any help on their journey to publication.
They have experience writing/editing long and short-form fiction, screenplays, and technical writing.
​
Their services currently include beta reading, line editing, copyediting, and proofreading. While they focus on horror, sci-fi and literary fiction, they are always open to working with mysteries and thrillers.

Cover Artists
CREATIVE PARAMITA is a book cover artist and designer offering both pre-made and custom book covers for all genres. We recently worked with Paramita on a new book cover and the experience went very smooth. Paramita went out of their way to tweak the design
to our desires and the result is nothing short of stunning.
