hi, I’m Lj,
I’m a book witch.
I write dark, magical stories.
I help writers to create artworks as singular, rich, and indelible as fairy tales.
Atmospheres
Atmospheres are essays on creativity and astrology.
The first series, inspired by the zodiacal decans, is illustrated by the artist Kening Zhu.

Editing services
I offer book coaching and developmental editing to help writers turn their story seeds into manuscripts, and their manuscripts into books.
