Steve Woodward

Editor, Writer, & Creative Partner

I am a flexible and discerning editor and designer with a sharp eye for typography and a knack for helping artists. From award-winning authors and publishers to indie musicians and literary magazines, I have led creative projects of all stripes.

 

Years of experience in the book publishing industry have given me a keen ear for voice and tone, which translates to incisive line editing and catchy, on-brand copywriting. Impeccable taste, artistic flair, and a penchant for bold, innovative style are hallmarks of my trade.
