“Leigh helped me a lot with editing my stories I’ve been working with Leigh for about 2 months now. We’ve been working on my short stories. She helped me a lot with general grammar and the structure of my stories. I also feel more confident now and understand better my strong points and weaknesses as a writer.”

@Theovercaffeinatedwriter On YouTube, Instagram, and TikTok, I create educational, empowering, and creatively-driven content centered on my life as a writer, scholar, and creative entrepreneur. Through the lens of Gothic storytelling, academia, and the writing life, I aim to inspire and support fellow writers and late-blooming scholars as they pursue their own paths in publishing, research, and creative reinvention.
