Today was supposed to be the last day of this deal, but I'm extending it until the 14th, which is the last day to pay my back rent before they start pursuing eviction. I really need a place to live, especially given how bad Minnesota winters are. Please get in contact with me if you need an editor.
To celebrate the end of a truly awful year and the beginning of one that we all hope will be a million times better, I'm offering 50% off on my edits!
I have openings as early as March, so DM or email me (gabrielhargraveauthor@gmail.com) to book today!

I really recommend Gabriel. He is a sensitive editor to make sure your voice stays true to who you are. He offers guidance. And he keeps track of what you’ve written from book to book. So perfect if you have a series.
