Even the most capable captain needs a first mate. Every starship needs a first officer. Whether you’re navigating kraken-infested waters or skirting the edge of a supernova, Dr. Alyse N. Steves has the experience to help navigate your manuscript’s toughest challenges.

Raised as a feral homeschooled child in a small town named after a planet, normalcy was never an option for Alyse. That unconventional upbringing fueled her creativity and contributed to stories that refused to fit neatly in a single genre.

Since 2016, Alyse has published or contributed to multiple works spanning genres:

• Child of Humanity (hopepunk science fiction)

• Savannah the Kind (children's fantasy picture book)

• The Darkest Memories (superhero serial killer thriller)

• Polaris (science fiction short story in the anthology Together Is a Distant Star)

Writing was only the beginning. Over the past decade, Alyse has worked with fellow writers, providing feedback on stories spanning genres from horror and science fiction to political thrillers and culturing a love for helping others create the strongest version of their visions. Today, she provides her editing skills to help authors revise their stories while preserving the voice that makes them one-of—a-kind.
