Hiya welcome to the denizens of the dark, where all secrets are let loose.

I’m Leticia (a.k.a. The Brutal Pixie — see why, below). I’m a writer of many hats. I’ve written, edited, and published or produced books, anthologies, postcards, business manuals, newsletters, online copy, online magazines, websites, theses, reports… If it’s got words, I’ve been there, done that.

Yep, that means I’m a published writer. Of fiction, nonfiction, and — my love — criticisim. I know exactly how life works on both sides of the desk: as a writer and editor, and as a writer being edited. It gives me a unique perspective in terms of mentoring writers and working with them to help them get their message across. It’s a perspective that few copywriters truly have.

Always having had a passion for written communication, my instinct for what works in writing is impeccable. So much so that I have been the preferred copywriter for Perth-based web-design company Clever Starfish, until those lovelies successfully sold their business. The original Starfish owners are now in semi-retirement in Europe (half their luck!). I merely dream of doing something similar .

While I can credit some of my talent to my extensive tertiary studies, mostly it’s been developed through an entire lifetime of reading and writing.

For more information about my expertise, please email me.

Brutal Pixie? That sounds a bit harsh!

I was dubbed the ‘brutal pixie’ by Kay Smoljak of Clever Starfish. I’m small, have a passion for heavy metal (so much so that was the first I am the publisher and editor of this online mag, until I sold it in February 2011, and I am also a critic & blogger, and publicist for bands). Plus, I can be tough when I need to be. But I’m actually a very gentle, diplomatic little thing. Don’t let it scare you.
