A Little About Me

Two standard poodles laying in the grass looking up at the camera. One is brown with a blue harness on, the other is larger and white with a grey harness on. Their paws are crossed over one another like they're holding hands.
A smiling person wearing a black sweatshirt, they are holding a pen in one hand and holding up a peace sign with the other hand. They have long brown hair, glasses, and a brown beard.

Hello, it’s nice to meet you!

My name is Molly Mae, and I would love to work with you on your next project! I was born and raised in southwest Florida, and am currently based in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.

I received my Bachelor’s in Creative Writing with a minor in Film Studies from Florida State University in 2022, and have always had a passion for reading, writing, and exploring how storytelling can bring people together.

My favorite genres that I have written are LGBTQ+ modern fiction, horror, speculative fiction, and science fiction/fantasy. As an editor, I have experience editing in creative nonfiction, realistic fiction, horror, historical fiction, fantasy, and science fiction. In terms of specialties, my favorite projects to work with involve LGBTQ+ characters and themes, or regarding characters with disabilities.

In my free time I love to travel, play video games, and spend time with my partner and two dogs!

For more information on my specializations, skills, and software I use, please check out my EFA profile!

Note: I do not incorporate Generative Artificial Intelligence at any stage in my work, and am not open to working with projects where Generative AI has been used.

My Mission

Being a writer can often feel like a very solitary experience. For beginning hobbyists and aspiring authors alike, everyone can benefit from having additional eyes on a project and likeminded creative partners who can push them to improve on every draft.

At its core, I believe in the power of collaborative storytelling, and that we as writers thrive when we have a supportive team in our corner. When working with a client, my goal is to assess their biggest strengths and weaknesses, and assist in making their voice stronger and reinforce the foundations of what they already have to improve their work.

My goal with North Star Creative Services is to work with new and unpublished writers who are looking for assistance in the editing process, or just want a new pair of eyes to look over their work before taking the next steps in publishing or querying.
