HI, CREATIVES.
I'm Payton. I'm a coffee-drinking, book-reading, manuscript-editing, story-telling kind of gal.

I'm a freelance book editor. I'm also a writer, painter, mix-media artist, audiophile, fantasy enthusiast, and gamer.

In my free time, you can find me gushing about books and poetry on my Instagram or writing parodies of my favorite songs.

I cannot remember the books I've read any more than the meals I have eaten; even so, they have made me.
