Hello
My name is Relly (they/them) and I have spent the last decade exploring the literary world, including freelance writing, novel writing, copyediting, proofreading, and manuscript critiques. My services are currently unavailable for booking, as I am releasing my debut novel, THERE'S A BADGE FOR THAT, out on May 23, 2025, and working on my next novel, coming out in 2026!
My Story
I am a partner, and parent of three children, ages 13, 10, and seven. I live in a small city in southeastern Ontario with my family and our two dogs, four cats, two rabbits, and two hamsters. My first love is writing; but I also spend much of my time working magick, enjoying photography, videography, baseball, gardening, and, of course, reading. I like traveling, communing with nature, and watching our boys excel at all their creative and athletic pursuits.
​
Outside of all these hobbies, I am passionate about advocating for mental health and neurodivergence, queer rights, disability rights, and invisible illness awareness, as I am disabled with multiple chronic illnesses.
​
At the end of the day, however, I always sit down at the keyboard. In fact, I have spent most of my life writing in various capacities. From the time I learned how to read, I was writing fictional stories, and quickly progressed to winning regional awards for submissions with my high school songwriters group. Since then, I have had several nationally distributed magazines as clients, including Andivero Magazine, Sessions Magazine, Strong Fitness Mag, and Missy/Ink, and my work can be found in both print and digital publications.
​
I also worked as a staff writer and photographer for the international online music blog Concert Blogger, which is now ENTRTNMNT. My assignments included photographing concerts, and writing concert and album reviews on a regular basis, which allowed me to further explore my love of music and writing in tandem. I also spent the last 10 years maintaining a varied roster of freelance clients, including popular parenting websites and fashion and music magazines, and now include manuscript critiques, proofreading, and editing with my offered services.
​
My main pursuit is writing young adult novels, however, and with an almost three decade-long backlog of plots and characters, I will seemingly never run out of story ideas to write. My most notable accomplishment so far is that while quarantined and homeschooling my three children, I won NaNoWriMo and penned an entire young adult contemporary manuscript. My debut novel, THERE'S A BADGE FOR THAT, is out May 23, 2025, and I'm currently working on my next novel, coming in 2026. May the odds be ever in my favour.

You can find me across all the major social networks by name, but the majority of my book-related info can be found on my AuthorTube channel.
