Hello! My name is Brenna Bailey-Davies, and I am a fiction editor and consultant.

​

I love working on stories because I believe in the power of words. Stories can change lives and create magic. My goal in editing is to help authors maximize the impact of their writing.

​

 In my spare time, I devour as many books as I can; my latest reads and reviews are on my 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 husband and our adorable fur-baby.
