edit data

Lexie Janson is a fantasy author born in Poland, where she spent her days getting lost in the forests and stories of old. She is currently living in Ireland, where the landscapes and folklore took her heart. Lexie is crafting intricate worlds and complex characters, often exploring themes of political intrigue and morally grey choices. Her stories are rooted in a childhood immersed in folklore and history. This upbringing fostered a love for ancient traditions and a fascination with the hidden depths of human nature, both of which find their way into her writing. When not lost in the realms of Logarain and Thurait, Lexie can be found delving into history, dabbling in witchcraft, or twirling across the dance floor at a fantasy ball.

Do You REALLY Need A Book Editor?

Well, hello there. Recently, I shared my own rather intense experience working with an editor on my upcoming fantasy novel, Crown of Shadows. And I know, not everyone gets or wants to work with a publisher, but the question remains... Do you really need an editor?

The Role of an Editor - What Do They Do?

Now, when I say 'editor,' I'm not just talking about someone who corrects your grammar and spe
