About me
Personal Profile
I’m Keila and I love stories, so I decided to work on them for a living.
​
Are you working on a story but got the timeline mixed up? Do you feel your characters need more development? You want to integrate a specific theme on your work but aren't sure of what to do? Do want your voice to reach the heartstrings of your audience? I'm the best person to help you out.
​
I'm a new graduate born in Peru but based in New Brunswick with a passion for books, comics, and stories in general, if a story is interesting I'm on board no matter the genre! My goal at the end of the day is to help creative people with great ideas to polish their works and share them with the world. If you are passionate about your work and ideas so am I. I do not wish to take over your idea but make it reach it's full potential. Stories can change people and the world, so I want to get into the creative world and help you work on your ideas.
​
We can work together so your voice can be heard everywhere! Feel free to contact me with any questions or ideas.
​
Let's take your story from 100 to the moon.
