The Story
Like all good tales, this one began with a mix of drinks and gossip. It was the summer of 2025 and Caeli and Halle were enjoying a buzzy afternoon a a local bar. Encouraged by liquid luck and corporate burnout, Caeli turned to her friend and said, "But what if we just started an editing house?" A week and two crashouts (one per woman) later, Weyward House was born.
We work with authors and poets to prepare their manuscripts for the copyediting and publication process. By offering specialized developmental editing for works of fantasy, romance and poetry, we're able to deliver detailed feedback on story structure, core messaging and pacing.
The Mission
To help authors and poets strengthen their fantasy, romance and/or poetry manuscripts through comprehensive developmental edits and story consultations.
