Hi! I’m Leslie Horn —
a developmental editor and book coach for nerdy writers telling imaginative, emotionally resonant stories that bend reality in fantasy, sci-fi, and horror.
As an Author Accelerator Certified Book Coach in Fiction and a member of the EFA and HWA, I’m always sharpening my skills and staying plugged into the ever-evolving publishing industry.
My superpower? Bringing structure to creative chaos. I love blending the imaginative with the analytical to help writers like you shape stories that truly shine.
I created Fiction Flow for Otherworldly Stories because the beginning of the writing process is my absolute favorite. Those early, messy, magical moments when ideas start to take shape.
