Holly Filgate

A soon-to-be-second year English student at university, I enjoy trying to read at least 100 books a year; my favourite genres are fantasy and magical realism. 

My favourite poet is Christina Rossetti [FUCK THE PRE-RAPHAELITES, I screech] and my favourite play is Dr. Faustus.

Don't get me started about Classics, specifically 60BC-40AD Rome. I'll never shut up! Likewise, never let me talk about crafts; currently finishing 3 huge projects on heraldic embroidery. ;) 

Currently serially uploading a story about a girl, a selkie, and a sinister faerie-trafficking plot for Hot Key Books' competition. Comments and concrit very appreciated!

I used to be a member of Wattpad back in 2011/12 but lost my account: always loved the supportive community. Can't wait to be more involved! 
(Please consider voting for my #youngwritersprize entry story when voting opens.)

I write for Galactic Squid and Cub Magazine.

EDITING SERVICES:

I've been editing the work of my peers since I was about 15 - starting off when I was part of the fanfic community for a few years, then when I joined a writer's group and now as a university student. 

My most widely-read genres are currently YA, fantasy, sci-fi and historical, so those are the genres I would obviously enjoy most and be able to help you out the most on! :) 

I'm completely available until mid September, and then I'll be able to dedicate a few hours a week to editing. 
I'm really looking forward to gaining even more editing experience, so I can't wait to read and edit everyone's pieces! I'm a very fast reader; I read the entirety of the ASOIAF series in a few days, so, I should be able to get back to you about your work fairly quickly.

Payment: I 'charge' per hour of my time, with payment options including:

-reads of my work

-comments on my work

-promos of my work

-follows

etc.
