OUR MISSION

Crafted by worlds with roots nurtured in fire,

my passion ignites when our stories build pyres.

With an undergrad and masters in creative arts, my life both personally and professionally has centred around writing and publishing since my earliest memories. I live in character-driven stories, with some of my favourite tropes being found family, villain origin story, enemies-to-allies (I see you, Zuko), slow-burn, enemies-to-lovers and band of misfits. 

An author myself, I fell in love with weaving the journey of a book together, from start to finish. Formatting books became another creative outlet that allowed me to dive deep into making a book “real”, while working with other authors to provide knowledge and guidance fills my cup. 

When I'm not living the book life, I’m hanging out with my cat babies and consuming stories in any other medium I can, be it video games, TV or nerding out at a D&D table. 

A steward of syntax, a patron of prose,

I tend to the garden where story grows.

 I’ve been a student of words and worlds for as long as I can remember. The stories we write (and read) reflect how we understand the world and how we wish the world to understand us.

With qualifications in writing and editing, and over seven years’ experience as a freelance editor, I approach manuscripts with a keen eye for detail, a desire for compelling characters and an unbridled collaborative spirit. 

 I want to read stories that explore relationships, the complexities of navigating worlds that work against us and characters that refuse the status quo.

When I’m not wandering the garden paths of Coven Press, you can find me reading with my cat Alfie, deep diving into a random world history or pop culture topic, or writing furiously in my Notes app.

From clients’ dreams to visuals bright,

I craft their thoughts into pure delight.

A serial student of design, I love transforming a client’s ideas into a visual medium, bringing their vision to life.

With a strong foundation in design, including qualifications in graphic design, interior design and architectural building design, I bring a multifaceted approach to creative projects. Recognised with two design scholarships from Federation University, my passion for books fuels my creativity – their ability to transport readers through the written word inspires me endlessly. I unapologetically judge books by their covers – I love bookshops, they are vaults of visual and literary gems.

When I’m not designing, you’ll find me out in my garden, planning my next travel adventure, practising at the archery range or enjoying “dogventures” with my two crazy pups.

In labyrinths tangled with stories un-spun,

I map out the path ’til the chaos is none.

A writer’s mind palace is where they endlessly twine the delicate skein of their stories, and that is where I most feel at home – in a wingback, in the corner, observing, provoking, empowering these conduits of creativity. 

With a tenure in film and television, specialising in screenwriting and story producing, I’ve learnt to perceive stories as multi-dimensional living, breathing entities, while navigating the intricate mazes of storytelling. Whether it’s in developing ideas or shaping social strategies, I desire to create a space for authors voices to be heard, understood and recognised. 

When I’m not at Coven Press, you’ll find me writing horrors, telling fortunes, diving headfirst into my monthly fixation hobby or on some Sudoku world leaderboard.

I am but a symbol, a marker of progress,

a reminder of the origin of Coven Press.

I first met the Coven Press team, before Coven Press was even the seed of an idea, in the dimly lit rooms of a converted office space, soundtracked by client meetings, clacking keyboards and the occasional whispered, some might say conspiratorial, conversation. I blushed as every team member remarked on the beauty of my leaves and admired the height I’d managed to grow to. My lucky day came when the simmering undercurrent of madness that haunted the walls of the office space toppled everything asunder and Liz offered to give me a home. Now I bask in a well-lit, warm and plant-friendly spot, watching as Coven Press blooms. The memories of the old are baked within my leaves, a kind of dreamcatcher for the past, but new heights are what we’re aiming for.
