D Tinker Editing was formed by Dorothy Tinker with a love of language and a keen eye for details. Dorothy is an explorer of worlds (both this one and others) and an "editor of all trades." She helps authors steer their projects on course with a mind for their full story maps while keeping the plot sails trimmed with a precision and attention to detail she honed in university studying mathematics. D Tinker Editing works with individual authors and small presses to refine their stories and make them shine. Dorothy is the copyediting and formatting force behind Inklings Publishing and recent HWG Press anthologies, and she is the Managing Editor of Balance of Seven literary alliance and publishing house.Malakova, Ynes: - Ynes Malakova holds a deep reverence for the beauty found in darkness. With intense imagery and lyrical prose, she celebrates life, death, and the specter-like boundary between them. Her five-part poetry collection-focused on finding magic in the mundane-was published in OWS Ink's Primal Elements anthology in June 2018, and her debut novel, The Viper Within, is quickly nearing completion. Ynes is known for her gothic elegance and has a closet full of sugar skulls, roses, and lace. Her collection of work is available at ynesmalakova.com. Follow her on Twitter at @YnesMalakova.Burns, Debbie: - Debbie Burns is a Molotov cocktail in Hello Kitty packaging who's been navigating trauma for the last thirty-plus years, weaving those truths into commercial fiction for the last eight, coaching creative visionaries for the last three, and firing glitter cannons since she realized she actually does like the color pink. International bestselling author and founder of Creative Central, Fiction Expedition, Sacred Rebels Mastermind, and many other delicious programs and transformative experiences, Deb is a kickass Soul Mapper and courage coach helping creative visionaries navigate their inner magic to transform their outer world. She's here to show you how to believe in yourself (and your art!) so strongly that the world can't help but believe in you too. You can find her living her Happily EPIC After in Utah (for now!) with her husband, Joe, and her not-so-little-but-totally-adorable pittie, Josser.
