about me

I've been writing and rewriting my first story for about 8 years. Luckily I wrote other stuff in the meantime and managed to get it published.

First novel, Lives of Magic, will be released in 2013 from Dundurn Press.

I'm on Twitter @lucyleid, complaining about being an author in Canada. I like to promote other writers.

Hi Ashley, Let's start with the good stuff: Your idea is fun and you're a talented writer. Most YA writers go through an editing ring of fire, but I like your tone and you keep it consistent without being cheesy. I like your descriptions and the pitch is good, but could use a little work. For exam... view book

I rarely like Sci-Fi but the pitch caught my eye. Maybe it's because I just watched Star Wars but I could hear the narration in your writing. That's pretty rare - so good job.

Hi, Initial observations: the beginning paragraph is very blunt and straight to the point. I'm not sure if this grips the reader in the way you intended. Then, the next three paragraphs start with "Gary and Donna". That phrase is repeated too much in the first chapter - try mixing it up with vario... view book

Hi Duane, This story isn't quite what I usually read but it's cute. Has a nice flow it, and reminds me a bit of the "Oxford Murders".

Nearly every paragraph starts with "he", which can slow down the story and become repetitive to the reader. Yo... view book
