FAQs

• Do you do developmental editing?
• Why is it called "Pepper Gecko"?
• How do you say your name?
• What are some types of projects you don't work on?

*This applies to experimental and hybrid work too! Genre-bending and formally experimental work is my greatest literary passion, and I've spent a lot of time with it, especially with the question of how we bring our readers along for something new and potentially confusing without losing them. If you're writing strange things and want to keep it obscure but leave your readers a way in, I would love to work with you.
