Ayden A Carter

Voice defines us, I don’t want to edit a “novel” or a “paper”–I want to edit your novel or your paper. Let’s not churn out another automated piece of fodder to fire into the overstuffed masses, let’s make what you want.

I am a Melbourne based writer and editor with a degree in Professional Writing and Editing from RMIT. I am fast, focused, and very thorough.

I’m even-handed, I will work to your goals, and I believe in writing to your audience–we can’t please everyone, but we can get your words to the eyes of the readers you want.

Get in touch if you’d like to work together.
