Meet the editor
Brenna Bailey-Davies
OWNER AND LEAD EDITOR
Hi! My name is Brenna. I love working on stories because I believe in the power of words. Stories can change lives and create magic.
Besides editing, I also write queer contemporary romance. My first series, the Juniper Creek Golden Years novels, is ongoing. If you're interested, check out my author website.
In my spare time, I devour as many books as I can; my latest reads and reviews are on my author Instagram. I also love travelling and baking, and part of my heart resides in Scotland, where I completed my university degree. I live in Calgary, Alberta with my game-loving spouse and our adorable fur-baby.
