I go by Mahalia Rae. I have been a professional writer and copyeditor for 8 years, starting with a 2018 internship for a literary journal. I have mostly written and edited marketing copy over my career, and I’m more of a generalist in the kinds of writing I do—whether that’s content writing or copywriting. Ultimately, though, my favorite genres to work with are fiction and nonfiction.

I write original fiction and am very slowly chipping away at some short works for potential publication in lit mags. I do not use any AI tools in the course of writing and editing. I didn’t study English and Literature for 4 years to hand all the hard work and the fun parts over to a program.

My blog is about the different types of media I like, from movies to music. I might fixate on something for a cool month or couple of weeks, give my thoughts on it, and bounce to the next thing. That’s life. Spinning the block is never out of the question, though. So if you want to talk about something even if I last posted about it months ago, feel free to drop a comment. 💬

I won’t put what specific media I like because we’ll be here all night, but here’s a broad overview of categories:

• Book Genres: Sci-fi, horror, fantasy, historical nonfiction, literary fiction
• Movie Genres: Sci-fi, horror, action, drama, musical, fantasy, documentary
• Music Genres: Pop, rock, R&B, soul, alternative, quiet storm, soundtracks, funk

If you think you’ll like what you find here, stay for the ride.

And if you need a copyeditor, writer, or even a beta reader for your own projects, I’m happy to help. Head on over to my contact page to send me a message, or check out my website Blue Moon Editing for editing or writing services.
